Any updates on your own car ?
yeh me must not forget that this is a build thread about my 180 and not a general chat thread about that 14 haha, i started putting the fiddly bits back into the bay. ill have pics later. acualy does any1 have a shell for braking, i need a throttle cable, the cable in mine get streched under the wheel when we pushed it onto the trailer
ur 180 is looking well i offered ur man 3k during the summer and he wuldnt take it dean got a good deal on her
test fitted a tyre on one of the front wheels to see how i was for arch clearance on full lock, i can safely say i have no room to play on the firewall side of the arch and miles of clearance up front in the arch. im running a 225/40/18 on the 11j, there is a 40mm spacers on the car atm but i cant take it off till i re-fit my brakes.

remember pulling up in my old one day around two years ago trying to buy it. some lad alright he told me he was doin 180mph out the airport road one day and still had a gear to go . poor guy didn't cop its in kmh lol
at least someone got it and is gonna see life again.
nice build btw seen white one floating about last nite with same style wheel but not half the width lol
Build has being going slow enough with the time of year and all but I treated myself since it's Christmas and got myself an oil cooler and relocater and also got myself 5M of venhill -3AN braided brake hose, they sent me the wrong colour but I'm not going to be a fussy prick, I'm just waiting on the fittings to arrive, I only have 1 sample fitting.

think you would need a thermostat fitting type. I used that type you have before and oil never got up to temperatue. this is a link to what im talking about

So how exactly does that thermostat yoke work, does it just bolt on between the relocator plate?? The info on it is much up in the air
It's a temperature controlled gate, that only lets the oil into the cooler core when the oil tempt gets up to 90degrees, and than when the tempt get down to 70degrees , closes. I had it the way your going doing there. Fitted my defi oil tempt later, and noticed my oil never moved above 10 degrees. Them oil coolers do there job well. Driftworks sell a thermostat type too.
Build has been going very slow at the moment, waiting to move into a new unit hopefully this weekend so the hands will be getting dirty again but I just said if give alittle update, cracked off the gearbox to find this juicy nismo copper mix clutch and a nismo lightened flywheel!! You have the love the japs!!
