The indicators look like they are factory. How is the new front end coming along?

 

Safety first with that army helmet that's for sure!!

 

Its all there, waiting to go in. Gotta find the time and the room.

 

love this thing man

 

I'm in a 'wanna sell it' mood again.

Bloody exhaust cracked again, I was gonna blame my mates welds but they held and the muffler actually cracked. FML.

Sounds like a tractor.

 

Anyway, brakes. Which ones should I use I wonder.

 

 

And some sticker love.

 

Are the lower ones RT142 Sumitomos?

Stock XT130's

Whoops, I meant 132.

 

I've got 132 struts and hubs to shove in the snotwagon, and being the imported model it has nice large sumitomos (which will be plenty enough for me) but I'll be buggered if I can find the appropriate rebuild kit for them.

Full electric, metal bodied, actual 'JDM' Murakami fender mirrors.

 

Nom nom nom

 

:D

I just hope I can make them work with an AUDM cabin mirror control, I have one out of a Corona.

About time there is a tastefully inspired JDM build without these stupid ʞ©$ɟing hang rings and it being called a drifter.

 

welcome to the E7 anti drift club.

Anti Drift fo' life.

Doesn't this thing have a weldy though? Could be wrong but i thought i read that a while back

 

Weldys suck unless you're trying to be Takumi Fujiwara

Locked diffs aren't only for drifting. But in saying that if anyone has an open S series center they want to swap I'll gladly drive wherever to pick it up. Quite sick of the locker.

No, They aren't. But they don't serve much purpose in other forms of motorsport.. Besides rally or gym/ motorkhana i guess

 

They're horrific for tight cornering as they understeer like mad and push you through corners instead of letting you corner properly. So that's why i didn't see the point of a weldy if you don't drifty drift

This thing has an S series?

Yep.
