I had just finished the jdm headlight conversion and s14 ks aero wing.I thought about sending it to the crusher but I love this car way too much so I decided to start over with a makeover from a deal I couldn't pass up.

Got in contact with a great guy on zilvia, found a good jdm front clip to fix my car and found a local guy with the jdm fenders.seriously though don't use greyhound to ship your front end I had to fix a lot of it. Oh and fuck boat containers a million times over. Image size reduced, original size: 2592 x 1952. Click here to view the image in its original dimension.

Keeping a 240 clean is real rough I'm le tired of it. |

Thanks, sending it out for paint tomorrow. Just waiting on the radiator right now I checked all the ac components everything is great but the battery is leaking there was a pool of acid took the car out hosed it down and putting some sort of anti rust treatment. I'm surprised at so many views and so little replies | ||

Why would anyone want to swap a CA into an S14? Looking very tidy, though! Always a fan of facelift S14s | ||

hey CA's are very underrated and dogged on! dont judge by liter judge by potential. the 1.5 liter F1 4 cylinder engines back in the f1 days are just as lethal at the v8's they were running awhile ago. | ||

Don't get me wrong; my first car was an '89 RS13 180SX. I just don't know why anyone would put a CA18DET in an S14. But that may be because I'm used to the JDM/NZDM offerings, and have never been stuck with a KA24. My understanding though is that there's not a huge gain to be made swapping a KA24DE to a CA18DET, in power or in torque. | ||
