Nardi Torino, always had a thing for these, look the job i think.

[juice]

where did u get the rims?

Came with the car from japland, would be hard to get and a nice price too :D

[juice]

Been looking for a nice knob for a while now but couldn't justify the ridiculous prices of actually getting one to the door. So getting one of these ones:

http://www.driftworks.com/forum/parts-sale-private-sales/120014-crystal-shift-knobs-nissan-fitment.html

Just getting a black glittery one, anything too mad wouldn't really go with the interior. Well worth a read through this mans thread, he will basically make anything you want in loads of sizes. The best part is the price!!! €24 delivered to the door, happy days!!!

[franmk]

i'd call this car a wee drop of sex

[way2fastforu]

@andrew does ya man make the gear knobs to order??couldn be arsed readin through his thread on dw takes too long to load prop on the pc last few day

[juice]

@andrew does ya man make the gear knobs to order??couldn be arsed readin through his thread on dw takes too long to load prop on the pc last few day

Basically yes, has afew sizes, like 90mm, 120mm, 150mm(the one i went for) and 300mm monster which is just a joke, he will set anything in the moulds as long as its dead and solid, ha ha

[way2fastforu]

savage ill have to get onto him for one:D

[nicknack]

Looking well andy, get it finished soon for me!!!!!!!!

[juice]

Waiting on the intercooler, my god its taking its time.

Update!!!

Rear passenger coilover and front drivers are goosed so got these rears sorted:

http://i982.photobucket.com/albums/ae306/juice110387/Project%20s14/DSCF0070.jpg

Big thanks to Carpo, sent them out quickly and are in as good shape as he said.

On the look out for some decent fronts now if anyone has any????

Also was looking for a little extra boost as it's boosting fairly standard. Decided to do a mod i saw on SXOC, took the restrictor out of this top hose:

http://i982.photobucket.com/albums/ae306/juice110387/Project%20s14/DSCF0064.jpg

It allows more air to bleed from the actuator, took the car out for a little spin and it was boosting to like 1.4 bar, which was dodge, may drill out the hole in the restrictor a tiny bit to get a slight increase on the cheap, as cant really afford a boost controller or actuator at the minute :(

[PeterT]

A manual boost valve is like, 30 quid off dw man! Ha

Have not driven the car yet but looks cool, did sit in it making car sounds and the throw certainly feels longer but will be a great job when being thrown around and grabbing for gears.

[way2fastforu]

Not sure on offsets really, stickers are gone and its not stamped into the wheels, 12's on the back with no spacer and stick out a bit under 50 mil over fenders so must be fairly low???

Fronts are 11.5j and run a 5 mil spacer(to clear caliper) under 50 mil wings and stick out a nice bit so deffo fairly low as well.

[C-Rex]

Ya can actually work out the offset by measuring and stuff but fuck that they look sweet man... Seriously cool dish:cool:

Alright TJ, did a bit of a deal with Dave Egan for it, bout 50 euro though, i swapped one for a turbo timer before that was in better nick, people look mad money, depends on condition i suppose.
