Now just waiting on my skyline hubs and brakes to arrive and il get the TE37s fitted
Anyone have any nice subtle rear bumpers i.e hipposleek / vertex?
OR nice spats for a standard bumper (not kouki as I already have a set of those here)
Thanks :)
Well the car is well stripped down once again :(
Fitting new headunit and speakers front and back with tweeters up on the dash
wires running between headunit and rear speakers seem to be fucked so going to have to run new ones

Although its a bit dirty the purple underneath still looking bad ass :D Hubs off waiting on new skyline 5stud hubs and brakes
https://scontent-b-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/...89575635_n.jpg
Got tires on the TE37's - went for Kumhos - 225 40 18's nice mild stretch which was what i wanted - i love these wheels - They look more bad ass than any SP1 or S1

https://scontent-b-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/...77591218_n.jpg
Also got a set of as new second hand genuine rays wheels nuts with lock nuts in red, wanted blue but for the price/condition i couldnt say no
https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.n...06513596_n.jpg
Thats al for now, hopefully have the digital clocks/HUD in soon and have the 5stud hubs soon so i can get these wheels fitted :)
Well they are finally back and working
Had to send these off to get the capacitors replaced, apparently when they arent used in a while the capacitors die so the digi part wont show up, anyway i found a guy who is a whizz with this kinda shit and it only cost 20 quid - Boom :D
Fuckin over the moon with them - cannot wait to get them fitted properly now some weekend soon

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTQ95...ature=youtu.be
Have another part coming this week aswell, should be here on friday, probably theeee rarest part out there for a 180sx - cant wait to get my hands on it :D
That is so cool and them wheels are just going to be sick on it man.. good work.
yeh thats gona look goooooood. do you not need the little patch on the window for the HUD to work properly? or have I missed that
I want a digital dash so badly...
Cheers Simon :D thats class comin from a guy whos RX7 youve been in love with for so long :DQuote:

Standard rear bumper back on
https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.n...24852346_n.jpg
I never took to this car for the simple reason type x aero mixed with aftermarket aero looks like trash
Now I've got that out of the way I'll praise you for a minute
All the little details are cool as fuck, a lot of people don't give a shit and won't go the effort to get these parts, but you have and that's something I appreciate when dudes are putting these cars together
Bidding on those TE37's was a fucking wonderful decision and they are in white too.. Car colour wheel colour combo 10/10
oem rear bumper with spats ++++
You're heading in the right direction and it's pretty cool, one day you'll ditch that lame Rocket Bunny wing too hahahah
also start saving and buy that THRASH seat, that thing is too fucking good
xoxox

I dont think im just ready yet to ditch the rocket bunny spoiler tho, i want to see what it looks like tied in with the kouki rear and the custom diffuser - i think its tooo easy to go for a full kouki kit if you know what i mean, i need/want something that stands out from the rest of the 180s out there so this is what its all about, chop/change and try stuff out until ya find something your happy with that hasnt been done to death before.
that seat would be too expensive for me at the mo and itd tie into nothing on the car :D anyway im in love with my recaros - i think they suit the car perfectly. nearly look like they shoulda been there from the factory
i just cant wait to get the new hubs n all that jazz fitted so i can see what these new wheels looks like :D
More toys
Big Thanks to Petko for hookin me up with all this, full setups like these are getting extremely hard to get and getting extremely expensive so - very much appreciated man
S15 front hubs
S14 LCA's for extra camber
R33 Skyline front discs/calipers
R33 Skyline Rear hub/disc/calipers
R33 handbrake cables
Braided lines

Ok so i spent a hectic weekend in the garage gettin this all done
Interior and CD player - speakers all wired up and workin sexcellently - interior all back in and looking like a car again
fitted the new s14 bottom arms, s15 front hubs and the skyline brakes and all that jazz and i FINALLY got the TE37s on . still need to raise the back up a taste and fire on a set of 20mm spacers that i have layin there but it is starting to look a lot better. also fired on the standard kouki rear end. The DMAX bonet is away getting tidied up and i should have the lot away to get painted in the next few weeks and then i think i might have this yok back on the road

That is sex! Fair play Matt, some work and attention to detail gone into this. Will be one of the nicest cars in the country when it's finished! All you need to do to make it perfect is drop in a jz!
