RMC kouki 180sx

Bastards only gave me 10 months! Haha

A long overdue update on the slowest build up ever!!!

Wanted to get the wheels redone but trying to get a quote off some one was not happening!

Was looking at €300 at least to get the lips polished as they were pretty f#*ked!

So when these popped up for handy money I snapped them up.

And so the polishing begins.









One will need a repaint as ye can see but the rest are fine, center caps all there too.

I know the advan Sa3's ain't to everyone's taste but I think the really suit the oem type X look I'm going for.

Going to lower the car another bit on Saturday hopefully so more pics to follow.

Fronts on at last still a bit of rubber left on the back, can't justify changing them just yet!!!

A few shite pics any way of em on!!

[Hachihead]

Used to love this car when it was about years ago,got me into the clean TypeX look,the advans are mint for it!
I'll be keeping an eye on this thread. Be good to see it with a bit more done and cleaned up.

[fitzer]

awwesome clean 180 man! advans suit the kouki kit down to the ground.. what model are them advans? would love a set meself

[rmc]

Cheers lads!!

Cleaned up Rear wheels should be on for the weekend and a full polish for the west cork rally.

They are Sar3's I think the old set will be going up for sale at some stage too!!

[hondaluver]

Looks savage Ross, will ya be around Clon at the weekend with it or the boxy??

[rmc]

Yeah can't wait for clon, I'll be in the 180, the ef is parked in the shed for another while I'd say !!

Should be a good one my cousin is out with his new WRC fiesta , so that will be nice to see, first one in Ireland!!

It's official TEIN don't do low!!! Whipped out the helper springs and wound them down too the last and we are still in the clouds. Hopefully once I get the far side finished they might settle down an other bit.

On the new to do list is front brake disc as they are seriously warped at the mo.
any suggestion on what to go for or where to pick up a pair, would be great.

Also got a offer of 5k for it,which got me thinking about selling up, but there is fuck all out there to spend the money on.

Saw you out in this a few times lately looks well.
Maybe upgrade to Skyline brakes if your changing and they're only standard ones at the mo.

I've thought about selling my 14 a few times lately but really as you say there isn't much I'd be interested in buying instead, and the way things are going its only going to gain value. I'm sure you'd have no trouble selling it if you saw something else you wanted.
