    C32 nissan Laurel.

    It's simply too low to be practical (god help me when the road is anything but spirit-level straight), the welded diff noises make me want to cry, the complete and utter lack of any useable power makes keeping up with traffic impossible.

    But I love the look and drive.

    Insides are looking decidedly jdm retro-cool

    It's currently getting some new JDM style rims thanks to Driftworks and Rarerims - and some strut spacers to raise the rear 30mm as the tein's are at max height.

    The horrible amount of negative camber currently cannot be corrected and im left with limited options as R31house no longer offer their bolt-up solutions. It really needs sorted as it's honestly not a margin off 10 degrees.

    Current specs:

    Exterior:
    jdm size number plate up front

    Engine:
    Factory L24

    Suspension:
    S13 front conversion
    S13 tein SuperStreet 5kg:f /4kg:r

    Brakes:
    factory

    Interior:
    Custom floor mats
    Nardi 340mm
    ARC ti gearknob

    So quick poll guys - What's more fitting as a driver seat, a Bride Brix or DC5 recaro in red?
    I've had DC2/DC5/Brix before and I know the quality of the recaro's is far superior; but I prefer the grip of the Brix. I'm not sure which will look right in an 80's box.

    So last time there'll be pics with these wheels on - getting swapped out this weekend and car will be getting raised :-( Being "illegaly" low, sucks.
