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

25

very slick

26

Very nicely done!

What are all the toggle switches for?

27

Looks good bro ! :wink:

28

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

29

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.

30

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

31

ā€œhere are the pics this is my buddys car i am just putting them on here cuz he is dumbā€

HAHA

anywho nice car!

32

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.

33

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!

34

Love the toggle switches and the push start.
You can pretend you are James Bond :stuck_out_tongue:

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.

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?

37

i couldnā€™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!

38

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!

39

i like the JDM hood modā€¦i have seen this in many of my option videoā€™s
at first i was like WTF then i realized what it was forā€¦
hows leftbridge treating youā€¦lotta hicks must look at u weird, i have the same problem :wink:

40

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