As I said, the suspension was moved towards the inner, you can see the inner hole and the original hole was filled with putty. and in the second pics, the A Arms were moved upwards, so that the car is lowered.

it's looking good so far! when i re-do my S14 (if i even attempt to re-do it, it might be ruined beyond salvage, i might just have to buy another S14 kit), i'm definitley going to attempt to lower it a bit and put some camber in the wheels, because the ride height now is just horrible. you lucked out with the parts that came with it! mine (the veilside version) came with the same body kit as yours, but i got a really crappy exhaust, an ugly wing (i didn't use it), and had to use the stock seats. i think a rim poll is definitley in order! what color are you planning on painting it?

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.
Wow, I'd figure that a guy with a name like S_13 Iketani coming up and fronting like he knows everything about drifting would at least know about this subject. Well...shows how much you know! :finger:



By the way...I'm just messin with you, no hard feelings

Nice modifications to the suspension! I really liked the crises rims, but it's a personal choice and is up to you!

*edit* Those are the exact same extra parts that came with my AE86!

well, ok. i have seen those wheels before, but never on a drift car. i've only ever seen them on VIP cars. i guess they do look pretty nice on the FC...it would still take a bit for me to warm up them though...don't even start to criticize my knowledge of drifting though!! i'll blow your ass out of the water!!:finger: :finger: lol j/k. i think the NT-03's look pretty good on it, don't fill the fenders as nicely, but they look pretty good. that's why i suggested Aoshima Z1's. they're big (18") and don't look too VIP.

do you know which aoshima car kit comes with Aoshima Z1's ?

What do you guys suggest about the color? I am thinking of "Orange-gold" or "Gold-leaf".:flash:

mine came with a few, but not the same ones as yours did. i got the racing seats, but i didn't get that exhaust or the wing. i DID get a nice, fat METAL exhaust tip though, which looks sweet, but i didn't get the canister, it just hooks onto the stock exhaust, so it looks kinda weird from the underside...but oh well!

joecwlaw, the ae86 kit I got came from the "Racing Star" series, which cost 500 more yen than the one from "inch up" or "tohge" series. The on;y reason I got that one is because I thought it came with the TRD wing from the really small pic! Well FYI, it also came with 17" TE-37's(without decals) and I bought a separate set too!!! Damn wrong rims on the dang box!

As for your car, I like the kit on your first pic, as well as the color(blue-silver??) Only thing I didn't like is those side-view mirrors, isn't my taste. And I like the stock wing aswell, but it's all up to you!
