2011 rebuild

[DeaneMsport_180sx]

after i had a little off in the last round of prodrift in fermoy i decided i would be better off to just do a full rebuild and do all the things that needed to be done.
thi is what the car looked like after the slap:





so i started stripping pretty much straight away:
subframe out


subframe stripped:


started stripping the engine bay:


a bit more:


engine out:



crossmember out:


engine bay completly empty of everything:


look at the amount of fuckin wiring that came out


inside pretty much stripped:


when i had it stripped to a complete shell i realised that it was a bit rusty to do all the work i wanted to do on it so when i saw steven shines shell for sale i decided it would be a great base to work on so i bought that off him and sold my old shell.
im planning on doing a good bit of work on this over the winter break so keep an eye on this space
any imput and ideas would be greatly appreciated

ya i was thinking that alright...ill try this first and then if it doesnt solve the problem ill use them
tjanks though lad!
ill be trying to get rid of as much of it as possible...things like lights and all that shouldnt be a problem...id just be worried about going near the ECU

How exactly? 25mil is about as far as you can go... Could just use off set spacers, they give about the same push forward...But you cant use both together Robbie if thats what your thinkin.

ya shur the offset spacers are about the same as that arent they?...id say this is about as far as it will go...the rack is right up against the crossmember now...any more would be pointless id say or am i wrong
