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 … Continue reading A look up close: SR20DET parts selection

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, … Continue reading WHATS TAKING SO LONG?!!?!?!?!??!
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.

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 … Continue reading Abflug 180sx Headlights
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.

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 … Continue reading Wide Body, cookin with the wrists
