Default Already Posted Didn't Make One Of These

My name is Vincent, I got a s14 not a Z me and Z's have fitment issues. They didnt think about tall people when making the car so untill I feel like getting a 370 or what ever i got this.

First setup: I bought it with the parts and gave it a major face lift and a lot of TLC. But I still hated it.


For those who live in Texas and know what Armadillos are, this is what they do to bumpers


Second setup:
Went to bigger wheels and a fresh front end and started a motor swap.






and how it is now untill the motor is done



feel free to ask any questions

Clean car, wrong forum since you're obviously not a "New Z Owner".

The Z can fit tall people pretty easily, not sure what you're referring to.

6'6" 250 here and I didnt have room in the vert but have enough in mine. I dont think you could be an inch taller or maybe 25-30lbs heavier and fit comfortably though. Love the front end on the car, the fitment on those last wheels is borderline though, damn they are out there.
