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 …

Authentic Parts? Why bother!!!

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.
