Xlarge 200sx s13 - Ghetto drifter My last post errored out, so I have to start the whole thread all over.. Btw sorry for the bad english ! 2007-2009 Bought this stock s13 for about 3years ago, decided to spend as little money on the exterior as possible so i bought a used JMS kit and garage painted the body porshe red with black roof, then found these gay ass lexus light wich i tinted red and spray painted the middlegarnish black for a "wannabe kouki look" Now when the exterior is kinda' nice I'll go for the fun part, talked with realcar and got a great deal on FMIC kit, shortshift from autobhan88 and some sparco stuff to get my skidding as cosy as possible Then hooked with japtuning wich set me up with most of the stage 2 engine parts. 2010 - ? Decided to ride for japtuning this season to so ordered some more stuff to jump on stage 3. Also got a great deal on traction parts from a distributor in the US, unfortunally some parts were made for s14. (So if anyone needs s14 strutbars just gimme a holla !)

Say goodbye to 2010's looks, sold the bodykit and bought some origin overfenders and a vertex bodykit. Just waiting for the fecking snow to melt so I can move the car to the garage and start the fitting of the aeros and refurb the chassie before I give the engine a massage. More pics will come as I get my fingers outta my ass and start doing something
Some old pictures: Interior early 2010 Some 19" wheels i bought from an old lady for about £70, refurbed and sold for £400 Drove half through sweden to get them. "I don't care, hellaflush" Interior today
Thnx ! Haha, you know it dude ! Probably the only thing that fitted right on, those genuine origin front fenders are soo crooked that the left one wont even fit the car. Gonna try put som wights on it over the night to flatten it out. And the rear fender need heating to realese some tension on the left side.
Got the rollcage from Initial_J for about a week ago. Rattle painted it green too match up with the takatas. Also cleaned the car from asphalt mats and stuff, after that i spraypainted the floor gunmetal grey. Tomorrow I'll install the coilovers and test drive it for the first time in 10 months ! One more thing, do someone have any experience of the fatlace webshop ? Ordered from them in feb. and haven't got the stuff yet.
Drove up to the car to give it a check, since I was there I changed the rocker covers and painted one of my grey wheels black since i broke one of the black last season. Also stripped the bodykit from the car to ease tomorrows job with the rear fenders. Realized that i need to give tha enginebay a refurb and some paint...
How did you get your bonnet to go up at that angel ? Nice project thread here mate, and some nice progress, keep it up
just bent the hinges a bit, theres a locking sprint on both sides that prevents the bonnet to go over a sertain angle. Just bend them so the sprints runs free. Sorry for the bad explanation, my english isn't the what it should be
Cut out the rear fenders today and pounded the arches because the car was resting on the wheels Now it's a little more clearance , I possibly weld it tomorrow When the welding is done I'll remove the glue from my old bodykit, and prepare the arch for some paint.
Thats true, chrome lexus lights tinted red. The bodykit are currently being painted, doing it in a garage so just praying to get a decent result. Pics will get up tomorrow !
