very nice
and your controls are so clean
nice work
how does the push button start work?

very slick

Very nicely done!

What are all the toggle switches for?

Looks good bro ! :wink:

The switches are from left to right fule, water sprayers, fans, acc and ign. Thanks guys!

To start the engine i flip the acc then ign and push the break for a fale safe then just push the button. Its real easy to do actually but you have to use quite a few realys for the way i set it up. Better safe then sorry ya know.

just got coilovers on today. I will post some new pics right away. :lol:

“here are the pics this is my buddys car i am just putting them on here cuz he is dumb”

HAHA

anywho nice car!

Seeing that it is a convertable and has an sr, woul this ca be newer than 1989?

I really like the car. Did you do any of the custom dash and electronics or did the car come with that stuff.

Ya all the convertables came with a ca and were auto. The only thing my friend did in japan was the swap, everything else i did in my garage. Thanks!

Love the toggle switches and the push start.
You can pretend you are James Bond :stuck_out_tongue:
Missiles armed…deploying oil slick…switching to amphibious mode… :lol:

Just being silly, hope you don’t mind. Great looking ride!

hey guys i got my coilovers in so i took a few more pics…hope u like it :slight_smile:

oh and good comment about the james bond shit…i allmost shit my pants thinking bought it! haha yeah :S

anyways enjoy the pics

p.s. don’t make fun of my lost center cap my “DUMB” friend rob lost it when the rims where on his ae86 :twisted:

Here is some weld, body and paint work I just finished and a couple pics of the gutted beast. While I was at it I welded all the little holes in the engine bay you dont need along with the 2 A/C holes.

some stitch welding. Just wanted to do the stuff you couldnt see to keep everythig looking stockish.

Here is a pic of my new Imola R steering wheel. Now all I need is a diffrent ratio rack and pinion so my arms dont look like there flaping around when I drift this VIP.

Got the intake polished and on the engine, sorta. Have my clutch and rad on order from autodream and as soon as it arrives I can start reassembly. I also picked up some rocker arm stoppers while the valve cover was off. Might as well.

I also took the dash out for kicks to do some wire shit. Im in the middle of finishing up my new ignition that is super simple and only takes 1 relay with the push button start. Im also going to wire in a 2 way FM remote starter/alarm combo. Picked up a oil temp gauge and will be instling a oil cooler once the engine is back in. I cant afford the trust cooler so I just picked up that B&M sandwitch and cooler for pretty cheap and will run 1/2 lines.

Hood?

i couldn’t keep my temp consistant so i put it on blocks to see if it made a difference!

it looks gay and is going but, but i just wanted to see if it would help!

Looks great! The rims and the ragtop match nicely to make it picture of sophistication. I half expect to see some old guy in a leather cap, scarf, and goggles driving it :lol:

Just kidding, your ride is a real one of a kind. Clean, clever, and classy!

i like the JDM hood mod…i have seen this in many of my option video’s
at first i was like WTF then i realized what it was for…
hows leftbridge treating you…lotta hicks must look at u weird, i have the same problem :wink:

Haha. Thanks guys. I’m lovin the input. Also I think sil_eightyRPS13 is the only person who knew about the hood. Thats awsome. Option rules :smiley:

Oh and chicks love the comvertable. But its a bitch when everyone wants a ride and you just want to drift. Girls dont like it when the tires spin.

looks good lowered…i lowered mine a 1.5 from the pic in my sign. almost too low scraps the pre muffler everywhere if im not careful :x
