A look up close: SR20DET parts selection

My last blog post did a pretty good job at covering brake upgrades, after thinking about the blog a bit, from now on I will try to make more frequent smaller posts, rather than large dumps, mostly because people don't really want to sit down and read paragraphs on end about a big update, so …

WHATS TAKING SO LONG?!!?!?!?!??!

A lot of people feel like there is some rush to build a car. Cutting corners, doing it with incorrect tools, incorrect parts, not following manufacturer specs, and ultimately complaining further down the line about the small things that bug them about their car. I feel that building a car is a very long process, …

What Have I been up to? – Major Update

Ok, I'll have to admit, its been a very long time, since I have posted on this site, mostly because of laziness, but also because I have very little time to myself and a LOT of things to do, like completely destroying other players in World of Warcraft. To be honest, I had to skim …

Building A Car The Right Way

Being involved with the s-chassis for nearly a decade now, I've seen many different types of builds, and I can tell you, these cars are very versatile when it comes to what you choose to build your car for. Drifting, time attack, auto cross, drag, touge, gymkhana, stance, street are a few of the profiles …

Abflug 180sx Headlights

I've constantly been working on the Abflug headlights I have, replacing hardware, 'bodywork', polishing the lenses to perfection, installing new rivnuts, replacing the old weather strip, but a big one for me has been the light output. I haven't really had a chance the drive the car much at night, or at all for that …

Yahoo Auctions Japan v3

Well, its about time I post an update on some of the parts I've recently acquired, and I've got to say, I've managed to find a fair bit of cool little parts. To start, I "scored" a very rare Nismo watch. I've always had a thing for watches, when I saw this one, with the …

Wide Body, cookin with the wrists

 Finally I was able to mount the widebody to the rears after I gave the sealant a little time to cure. Little unhappy with the hardware I ordered for fastening the widebody on. It oxidized very fast, so I'll have to look at either painting each bolt, or ordering some stainless, or titanium hardware for …

I Got Barzzzz

Still have to figure out what I will be doing for rear interior. I knew I was going to have a "full" interior, minus back seats ofc, so it was time now to cut holes in the rear interior quarter panels. This was my redneck method, you can tell I have experience with carpentry.  Holes …
