Nice start to a sweet project. Now run through and see how much of it is half-assed.

i wnat to say Bomex... but im not 100% sure. i just compared it to the one in my room and they are indentical

all silvia conversion parts are from japan, so its a real conversion... not replica's.

tinting my windows probably tomorrow if it doesnt rain again.
my wheels are guna be forsale soon, or for trade.

from what i can tell the car isnt turbo, so why the z32 maf? higher compression build?

i want to roll my fenders alittle bit though, cause once i paint this bitch i am not painting it again. ive just got to get a good deal on some nice wheels for as cheap as possible... money is tight right now for the next month or so

The blue wrap on the harness is kinda janky, but it looks put together well. That's always a plus.

i actually like the wheels. How much will you ask if you sell them?

All it needs is some more primer paint...

If you're thinking about professionally painting it, please don't primer it with spray can primer...It'll require a lot more work to prep, and your paint job would probably cost more than you'd originally pay if you just kept it the way it is now...

Is that resevoir tank just kinda shoved there? :-/ Cooler than a stock cracked one for sho...

I like how it looks now, though. The front bumper is aggressive without being gawdy, and that engine bay is by far cleaner than most. Looks like she could really look good :)

you should probbobly sell that clutch as well, theres no reason for a clutch that strong on a stock car haha. Might even mess your transmission up, since it probbobly grabs so hard. Nice coupe tho.

I see no "build".

I see you showing off the car. That is the reason we have a picture thread.
