So I've been doing some work on the s14. The headlights and wheels were the top of my priorities as soon as I picked up the car. The headlights were just..yellow and stained and barely even put out any light at all.
So I put them into the oven and replaced them with some circuit sports clear lens. I ended up making a meal of it by dropping ad cracking the very corner of one of the new lens' and having to glue it back together in an effort to repair the damage.
I used silicone boat caulking to seal them up and I'm super happy with the results. I did find a bunch of crap wrong with the headlights but I didn't even want to attempt to repaint the reflectors.
I also bought some new wheels and tyres!
I ended up going for 18x9.5 rota grids e22 and wrapping them in Goodyear Eagle F1s after a few recommendations. After getting these mounted up i test fit them last night and minus the fact that the car is way too high im overall pretty happy. I'm going to drop It by an inch or so today and then roll the arches to get it all nice and flush.
I also added a new lever...don't ask.
Also replaced the belts over the weekend which was a huge pain in the ass thanks to seized bolts and generally lying underneath a cold car..
Now onto the bad news..somehow the car is now leaking what appears to be transmission fluid and coolant annoyingly. I've got the car booked in at a local z/s chassis specialist for to take a look next week and try and fix the issue. But thanks to that I haven't even driven the car in a week or so.
