Re-Build with new colors - Progress pics

[kuruptR]

thanks Jack.

a ahmed, its c-pillar bar I got from david @ touge factory. It will fit only 91-93 S13Hatch backs. From what I recall 2 years ago he said it was one of a couple he brought in.

damn it! Again the touge factory one, no wonder it was beefy

I really want the touge factory c pillar bar... but they have been discontinued. Even the wimpy skinny megan racing c pillar bar for the s13 has been discontinued...

I wonder if anyone has one for sale or something...

props on the car, very clean

Yeah thats them. I remember a few years back they made a few but yeah you dont see them listed on their site anymore but who knows they might be able to fab some up again. doesn't hurt to ask whats up.

[CKAMC]

If your unable to find one stateside you can contact an importer and ask for STR Wakai Engineering and Flash product since they seem to be the only other people to make this part.

Here is the STR Wakai Engineering (shown on S14 but avaliable for both S13 and hatch model)

I think you need lower sides and rear skirts tho (I'm sure you address this in the thread but eh 4 pages and Zilvia is running slow so...)

More specifically I think you need more aggressive aero to match the white TE's

Need pics in the sun to really see tho, the overcast is making it hard to see the lines of the car

Also I think you should take the stickers off the cage....cage color is nice, but stickers kinda just make it messy

Pick and choose with the bars too, either just cage + strut bar, or strut bar + pillar bar....but all 3 is just like overkill

And tsk tsk on the rock e brake

Agreed. Just some constructive criticism... with those wheels (sizing, style, etc) and the spoiler I personally would have gone with a little more aggressive sides at least and perhaps more aggressive kit overall. But thats just my personal opinion. Just seems like it went a step backwards from the original look. That and the overkill in bracing. The cage itself is typically enough then to add a STB, C-pillar bar and a trunk brace, that just seems like you're adding more weight, hurting performance versus improving. Ill let Russ chime in on this since hes been there, did the same and took most of his out on the blue car.\

Like Logan mentioned... e-brake too. Function > form, if its just a cable issue thats easily solved and I hope you do so. Otherwise Z32 e-brake assy isnt hard to source on here, Im sure plenty of people on here would be willing to help out.

Just being critical since you obviously put a lot of time, money and effort in the car. Otherwise not too shabby.

Toyota Echo. Get it?

LOLZ

[CKAMC]

was kinda hoping to see some new aero since you decided to change the paint....

[Ethix]

I think it looks rad.

I also disagree on the aero. I think if more agressive aero was added it would just end up looking like every other fastback with white TE's that we've seen recently (just in a different color).




-Mark

[Full-Lock]

oh yea thats nice

i like it just the way it is. looks like you went 18's all around.

what sizes did you end up going with?

i KNEW from the teaser they were white TE's...i knew it

[genetic]

i like your old wheels

other than that, its cool.

[Brian]

It has all the right parts...buuuuuuut, something is wrong.
can't put my finger on it either.

[Ninjabread]

Looks rad man!

To me, it almost looks like it would need 17's in the front with the kind of aero you've got on it...

[hippo_chips]

Love the car. I'm not a fan of 18s all around though. But, hell it's yours. Everyone can keep giving you suggestions on what to do to make it look better, but there's a reason why your car looks like this, cause you, yourself, thought it looked hot. I'd give you plenty of suggestions too, but I'm keeping those ideas for me, so I can make my car the way I want it. Awesome car man.

[a_ahmed]

Well I still didnt get any email back from intense motorsports...

Also http://www.str-w.jp/silvia.htm is all japanese lol i dont speak japanese :P And.. it seems less beefy than the touge one, but cant be for sure from the pics...

[5t341tH]

got a high res of this pic?
id like to use it as my BG

[ManoNegra]

Looks baller but I too kinda think that it looked ballerer in red. Maybe pics don't do it justice(?)

[Frosty_spl]

It looked more unique before. Its still nice, just waaay more subtle.

Honestly I think the wheels are killing it.

[unicoladron]

traitor!!!! why are you hanging out with honda fan boys!!!!

j/k i know some of you were thinking the same thing!

love the car dude love hatch wing, works perfect for the look of the car

Dudes, from the looks of it I think those pics were taken at a track day... Maybe he was just letting his brakes cool down?

[speedgod^s13]

I liked it way better, when it was red. But, to each his own.

[nissanguy13]

I like it better red if it was going to be a show car, but since its a track/guessing DD also, I like it better now. It looks clean and subtle. Keeps unwanted attention off the car.
