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

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.

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
