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 …

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 …

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 …

FCM Street Style

Now that it was a season where I could actually drive the car, and now that my I had somewhere to sit, I figured it was time to do some body work. I had asked a friend from work, who happens to be a red seal welder, dealing mostly with the exotic metals, if I …

Holding Monster

The seat rails arrived, and I had finally finished off adding plumbing to the door cards to finish off the look. Finally my interior was looking somewhat presentable, and not a pile of wires and junk.  It was good to finally see my work starting to pay off. Not going to lie I was struggling …

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 …

YAJ Finds

Managed to find another cool nismo trinket. Not gonna lie, I was a little dissapointed when i opened the box and found out how small the seat was haha. On the auction listing, it looked like a normal size chair. Oh well. This is how it appeared on the auction listing:    When I picked …

sx180 FCM SPEC

While the interior was waiting on parts to come, and work to be done, by now I had most of my aero parts, so i decided to slap them all on the car with duct tape, to see how everything fit.  I was amazed with the quality of the fiberglass parts, fitment was excellent, except …

The Throne of God

Picking at the car slowly, when one day after work I stumble upon an auction too good to give up. A minty red Bride maxis. As I mentioned earlier on, the original plan was to go with a Bride Proface driver seat and the Cuga Japan edition seat as a passenger seat. I was trying …

Ridgeback

There is a story to almost every part I have, some better than others. While browsing the internet looking at drift events, forums, etc, I stumbled upon a picture of a car that grabbed my interest. But there was something very different about this car, that I absolutely loved, and wanted extremely badly.   After …
