well guys ! I bought this a few weeks back off silver bullit on here sound dude!
i was sick of having a 6k s body so decided i wanted something cheaper that i can use on road and track ! spec when i got it wasnt too bad, r33 brakes an hubs all around, hydro, coilovers, half cage etc so looked a good base ! anyway had a few hours at it today to change coilovers wheels studs wheels spacers so took a few pics!
bought wheels off juicy and kit of lorcan yesterday!

plans are paint kit, fix up few other small bits, and drive the shit out of it!!!

Looks sweet, a decent spec missile ;)

Don't see much point in having the hydro and r33 hubs, ever since I got them I never touch the hydro (unless it's independent) it fucks up your brake pedal IMO.

When your on track the shoes can heat up from excessive use and you can suffer fade and they wont lock up as handy so its defo worth having a hydro if your doin any trackdays.

Love the look of that 180 now with the kit alan. Good job

i cut the wing an pulled it out for more clearence, then i saw an s13 with these on it an i thaut they looked cool so i made some haha to be fair the cos id cut the wing the skirt was awfull flimsy so it has given the skirt sumthin to hold it in place ! haha!

germans dont buy 180's so it would be safe :) plus i want a track car , fed up with road cars. it would probably get driven more than the 15 lol.

pictures dont do it justice though, it looks so mean in person
