    Few decisions have been made..

    Firstly, the skirts are for sale.. http://www.driftworks.com/forum/parts-sale-private-sales/156176-f-s-s13-oem-chuki-smooth-skirts.html

    Just ordered 180sx Kouki side skirt replicas and also rear spats from Magic Aero - Home :thumbs:

    I am also going to keep the red, its going to have a respray at some point but for now just going to spray the panels that are wrong color and go rock the car for a while :)

    I'm going to order some new Rota GTR's from Rarerims :thumbs: Just got to make my mind up if i want to go 18" front and rear or what it has on it now which are 18" rear and 17" front ect.

    Also going to switch back to factory front wings :)

    Current ones for sale then?

    Can I ask what your rear camber is set at? I have 18x10+16 eurolines to fit to my 180sx and the stick out a good couple of inches even at my current -2 degrees (ish).

    Trying to decide if a roll n flare will work or if I need over fenders like you are doing.

    Cheers

    the rear wheels are 10x18 ET15 i think.. and they are just not going to work under stock arches.. lol, i have about 2.5 degrees.. hence the wheel change.. I'm going to go for 18x10 ET35's like i had on my 180sx

    Thought it might be a bit much for stock metal. Was looking for an excuse to go wider body anyway. I have 18x9+35 for the front...but atm they hit the coilovers and r32 calipers.

    Yeah, I got away with a fair amount of inboard wheel width due to have CS2 Driftworks suspension on the car, as they are narrower then normally HSD and other shocks, i could get away with running more width in the car so to speak..

    Yeah. I'd been warned they might hit my CS1's when I bought them (the wheels) I was told they'd be +30 front and +25 rear, ended up with +35 and +16. Not complaining though. Just need a free day to see how the fronts sit with 20mm spacing relative to the arches.

    Anyway...sorry for the hijack. Looking forward to more updates. You always seem to do the right things to S body's.


    If you are going to sell the front wings...let me know how much for :wave:

    In or going in? This should be sweet man! I really want to put a Z33 box in the R32 behind the RB.

    Where did you get the plate?

    Magic Aero: Kouki Parts

    Little update in order, as far as the body work goes I'm really getting there now, Paul from Magic Aero made me some 180sx Kouki skirts and PS13 Kouki Rear Spats for my car, they arrived today and I couldn't be happier with hte fitment!

    As you can see, even though they are fiberglass copies they retain the two parts of the skirt as found in the OEM pannel!! Nice touch!

    [​IMG]

    As you can see there is Kevlar renforcement in the layers!! should be strong!

    [​IMG]

    You know when your special when you have your name in your pannels :) Nice one Paul! :thumbs:

    [​IMG]

    I Few pictures of what they will look like on the car, I've only taped them to the car so any gaps is my fault no the pannels .. but you can agree you couldn't tell the difference between OEM and Magic Aero!!

    Massive Thank you to RareRims:Rota for helping me out as always with wheels :thumbs:

    [​IMG]

    Hope you like the direction the car is going in, last few changes to the body work is get the Kouki wing on the tail gate and replace the front wings for stock ones which I have now got! I'm also going to go 18x10 all round.. because i can :)

    Still one question... What colour?........
