Well…back to da car…here is a list of everything that was just installed over the course of about 30 hours: _Pictures to come_ GODSPEED HyperRS Coilovers GODSPEED F&R Sway Bars Napa Chassis Parts Sway Bar End Links (prolly wont last lol) GODSPEED Front Adjustable Pillow Arms GODSPEED Rear Adjustable Upper Control Arms GODSPEED Rear Adjustable Tension Rods Solid Aluminum Rear Subframe Bushings S13 OEM Viscous LSD (got rid of that God Awful welded diff) Ichiba 5 lug hub conversion S14 Drilled/slotted rotors Napa Ceramic Front/Semi-Metallic Rear Brake Pads Enkei LS-5 18x8 wheels in Gloss Black w/ Chrome Spoke Cap Nitto NT555 Extreme tires in 235/40ZR18 I had Goodridge Stainless brake hoses but the damn things blew out!! 3 of them all leaked at the same spot. The crimp where the banjo fitting hits the line. There were all kinds of stupid things that happened along the way (broke one rear brake line, had to get longer bolts to hold the LSD to the frame, etc.) So right now the brake pedal is real squishy on first press, there is a metal-on-metal rub coming from right front wheel. I think it’s the dust cover but I’ll look tomorrow. The alignment is out to lunch. And the diff clunks under load when I hit the clutch. But it’s damn stiff!! Still to do: Get replacement SS lines Z32 master cylinder (once I get replacement lines installed) Roll rear fenders (ahem CarRamRod…your assistance would be appreciated - you come highly recommended!!) Paint the car/spoiler Taillight Mod Weld in cage Racing Seats/Harnesses Weld misc. holes/rust spots/frame rails Exhaust/Intake Practice lol Autocross!!! ---

Mind the car WILL be black SOON. You can notice the god awful camber on the right rear wheel. I need to adjust a couple bolts and bring it back to the garage for a better alignment. The seats were a P.A.I.N. that stands for Pain And Impossible Nukas lol the driver’s side snuck a sneaky on me with the exhaust tunnel popping out of the floor pan so now that hump made the seat sit high. But when I bring it for the cage to be welded in I’ll have the guy make some steel brackets so it sits properly. ---

The drifting one. I work and have school that day. Last day of classes can’t miss it ☹ I’m definitely autocrossing on the 16th though. Up at Edinburgh. I’ll tell you though, if I were planning on using this car as a drifter I wouldn’t have put the huge expensive tires on it or the R200V in it. I would have left the welded diff for now and kept going to garages and getting free 15" used tires lol You wouldn’t be willing to help a brutha with fender rolling, would ya? ---
