    Not on DW but do have one on SXOC. It's not a fast moving project though as I struggle for time. Would love to be working on it today but looking after son whilst Mrs works.

    Anyway, Mandelbug's 200sx S13 that's mine.

    Love the rear brakes. Its a good idea too. The Dragon RX8 has massive Porsche rear brakes and stock front ones for the same reason too- Handbrake is on the button every time at every speed.

    Ive seen them pop up on a few formula d cars so if they see the need for them i thought id give them a go, yes expensive but thought it might make my car stand out a bit

    The kit takes a bit of fitting round the geo masters but dosn't need much modification. spaces out the back end a bit as well. Just have to order up all my lines and fittings to get it all plumbed in

    Not a lot of guys running mega front brakes. Infact i have heard of guys having front brake failure and running a good run without front brakes. Still look cool though!!!

    If it wasn't for my job and general life getting in the way it would be done by now also everythings a learning curb Even fitting the driftworks suspencion its not just a bolt on 5 minite job. I still have a lot to play with to get the lock i desire!. still a lot to do but i will get there. The expensive bit is coming up (engine turbo engine manigment) and i am waiting for a koyo radiator and a new intercooler so i can fab up the front end.

    Ill be back on it this weekend so keep an eye out for up dates

    Getting used to fitting and removing this engine





    So far the sump mod works have a few ideas about moving the sway bar mounts forward a bit and using custom drop links to help









    Going to fab up the front end this weekend !!!!
