S14 early version project started
guys, I am working on initial D s14 early version. the kit is good, it comes with extra parts, Nismo Skyline GTR racing seats, exhaust(larger), and flat wing.
However, I have to lower the car since its ride height is very HIGH. I chopped the front suspension and A-arm for 3.5mm, and the rear for 1.5mm. It is totally pain in the ass, I spent over 10 hours doing the mod job. And for the rims, I am thinking to put vienna crisis for it, still not decided yet. your input is welcome.      |

please for the love of God don't desecrate such a beautiful drift machine with such VIP wheels! don't get me wrong, i like those wheels. but the S14 is a drift car, it deserves wheels like Advan RG's, Blitz Technospeed Z1's and such. those wheels would be better suited to a Toyota Aristo or something like that. well, i guess it's your choice. i bought the Veilside version of that same kit, but it came with the same body kit as the Initial D one as well and after a while of having the Veilside kit on it, i realized how gay and ugly it was and put the Initial D one on it. as it was my first encounter with spray paint, it looks like shit and i'm soon going to completely strip it and re-do it completely. would it be possible for you to post a pic of the wing that came with it? thanks! can't wait to see finished product!
PS what the sweet hell is on the front fender in the 4th pic? i sure hope it's tape...
