Simple Street > > Tayno's S14

I came across this S14 this morning and it had to be the perfect first pick out. And what more fitting than a daily driven and drifted Silvia?

The S14 Series 2 still is accompanied by all its stock aero, even the front lip. With a good low stance, well fitted wheels you can simply not go wrong with factory items.

The Volk TE37 are the wheel to have these days, but I don't think they will never make a car look boring. Tayno is also running the staggered wheel setup with 17's on the front filling the guards with a snug fit...
...The black 18's are a little tighter on the rear.

With nothing but a subtle roof lip, small items such as this are what complete cars in such a nice, refined manner.

The exterior is just as stock, just lowered on wheels. Perfect stance.

Running the TE37's on the front, and CST's on the rear, the car looks just as good drifting as it does when it's driving on the road.

What more could you ask for with a daily car like this?

This just goes to show that you dont need to have a built motor and full aero to go out and have fun while looking good at the same time. Tanyo's S14 is a prime example of how these cars were designed to look and perform.

Welcome to Hellabeat,

We are dedicated to the budget builders of the the ever growing import scene. As most of us do, we have an idea of a magical place where all is "flush" and the sound of birds chirping is replaced with blow off valves and tires spinning. Clouds are not from a coming storm, but from tire smoke and the only pollution there is is straight pipes and burnt race gas. We all have the dream, we all have the drive, but few have the funding for a major all around build. Hellabeat is made up of builders and enthusiasts alike who have the love and desire to not let those projects sit in the garage waiting for the day of completion, but to drive them with mismatched body panels and gutted interiors. We are a rare breed. We, are Hellabeat.
