View Full Version : Finally.. My Yellow Wide Arch 180sx :)
I bought this car 2 years ago, and about 15 months ago i started buying parts for it and wanted to go all out with it.
So i decided to make it completely my own.
Here is the car before i started.

So what i did to it.
Dmax Carbon fibre Bonnet
Carbon wrapped mirrors, wind visors, pillars.
Bn sports 50mm front wings
Full origin streamline kit
50/50 rear light
Origin carbon fibre 3 piece spoiler
Chrome Works eurolines s2h rims
2 sparco recliners
Rear 70mm BN sports fenders
Spacers all round
New Carpet and rear interior
Full respray
And aload of other smaller stuff, all the engine work, mapping etc.. was done in 2009.
So here she is, im delighted with it, it is completely my own, and it is a great feeling to know i did 90% of the work myself.

turned out well lad really like the spoiler
Nice job lad. The colour is sexy and love the black bits. Fairplay for doing urself too :)
unreal scamp.....not sure if wheels suit it, but otherwise class...
Sorry Scamper i don't like it.
I'm not a fan of the wheels or the colour.
Fair play for doing all the work yourself was a great build and nice to see you did it yourself.
fair play lad well done love the rear of it paint is savage colour hate the wheels tho just my opinion but well ware!!
I will be honest and say i dont like it.......Fare play for the effort tho,Looks like you done a good job...As long as you like it thats the main thing!
Lookin well, love the yellow mine will be yellow too eventually I'll keep it different tho;)
Very nice man the black spoiler really ties it in well :D
jes lad fair play you did some job on her
been honest im not a fan of it! but i think if u get nicer wheels and nicer seats it will make a big difference and possibly go a bit lower!
but as was said fair play for doin all the work and if u like it thats the main thing man

have been following this project from the start, and in all fairness, AWESOMENESS TO THE EXTREME.
Alot of mixed opinions on here, i will say i am delighted with it, and the pics dont do it justice. But thanks for all the comments lad

love it scamp fair play:D
Yellow recaros would look mint in it!!
Carbon wrap roof and rear spoiler would be cool too!
Came out very well and alot of time and hard work these projects do take.
Im on the bench about the wheels tho
Its nice get johnbro to photoshop a black roof or carbon wrap it??? Dont know about the spoiler but i wouldnt put a bgw on it,
Whats next for it? now ur a few bob up ;) Write a better spec or is it top secret???
looks very well man fair play
Very nice lad, very like RonanC's...
not a fan of the wheels but fair duce doing all the work yourself
get new wheels ,bonnet should be yellow everything else good to go !actually everything yellow except the black spoiler
I'm afraid to say it was nicer before, fair play on all the work though.

its too much like a wiz kahlifa song:p
personally id put it on white TE37's (or grids), paint the bonnet yellow and anything else thats black, yellow and drop it more! if you did that you would be onto a winner!
but all the same its the way you want it, jst needs a few bits changed like the wheels to look savage IMO
some inspiration , this car and the c's garge onevia make me love yellow :D

As I said, I think its class, fair play, bet your like a proud daddy now ha ha
I'd space the wheels out a bit more maybe smaller width tyres with more stretch :cool:

As everyone said well done on doing all the work.but sorry I think the seats and wheels ruin it :o

much more low, new wheels new seats and youd be onto a winner...

fair play for doin the work dude...but the original colour was much nicer imo
I'm afraid to say it was nicer before, fair play on all the work though.
Have to agree :o It just doesnt work for me. New wheels would go a long way to helping the situation.
Congrats on getting it to how you wanted it though.
get a pair of white rota torques under it or some kind of white wheel would suit yellow more than the chrome wheels

thats very nice...... well done lad.:)
Fair play for doing the work youself man she looks cool dunno about the wheels tho
Colours like that never come through properly on photos, say it looks better in person, think the wheels let it down but i like the rest ;)
Fair play for getting it finished scamp,i think its looks good,but been honest the wheels do nothing for it and im not sure on the spoiler either but other then that she looks good
aboy da kid... now you have to let me take it up da back roads..... promise ill mind it,ha

i much prefer it before..
Jasus, not alot on here like it, ah well, im not bothered, im absolutely delighted with it, and i will say the pics dont do it half the justice they should, ill bring it to an event once its on the road, ye can see her in person then.
And to the people who said it was nicer before, i did love it in the bronze myself, but over time, she got rough and then it came to a point where i had to do it up again. And i already had the bronze on it for 2 years, so i just fancied a change, and always wanted a yellow car so.....................:D
cool car now.. the seats let it down big time i think ya need a bride in their somewhere.
Fairplay lad it turned out well...i think the black bonnet goes good with the yellow tbh...drop the suspention to the ground and should look trick

At the end of the day all that matters is you like it, cause your the one that will be driving it and no one else!

Nice work lad!!!I really like whole car except wheels...:P
Was this parked outside a garage on the loughrea-Gort road for a while? If so i've seen it in person and it looks way better. Pics do it no justice. It's class in person.
