240 from hell RB25 Pro-Am s14 build

Ok so ive been lurking this forum for years but never really post, didnt even register till 2years ago when i got this car, decided to finally make a build thread. ive been building cars and drift cars for awile, this is the 1st i finished for myself, (was stuck in Honda Drag Racing) over that lol,
ill start with a few before and after pics

How i got it 2 years ago, bare, bare shell, always liked the look of s14, im a coupe guy

motor i picked up RB25 series 2, always loved the sound of the RB, owned a R32 skyline and sounded awesome


last year after i built it and got it running, basic bolt ons, ebay turbo, satin black paint, coilovers


how it sits this year 2012, new turbo setup, wiring, EMS, tube work, suspension work

RB

So it all started with a shell i seen for a good price online in NH back in 2010
this is it after i picked it up from the previous owner on way to my house

droped off

reason i bought it

picked up a rb25 swap that was out a wrecked s14 in MS, looked to be well taken care of from the post online, it was clean when i took covers off at home, low mileage motor for sure


picked up a diff and seats off the same owner i got shell from few weeks later


had some left over parts from my FD RX7 i got rid of for this car
