Looks good so far, I would not want to deal with that driver's side door bar setup though. What are ur plans for the build?

Thanks ! And yea I know it's a little two high lol but oh well And I'm just making it look nice lol always wanted to take a stroll down the street with a full body cage lol but as well its for drift events also I have a sponsor for my wheels so you know it's going to be a show car as well at events when we set up a booth.

[irritatedmax]

Yeah, door bar looks crazy but the car is looking nice. Maybe downsize the pics for the next update?

What cage is that? Looks like a decent weld-in kit.

[TougeLove]

Did i miss what makes it a rolex build?

Looks good though. Nice work!!!

I was hoping by the title you were making a replica 24 hour le mans car. Just saw the Audi R18 mmmmmm

In before the Florida jokes.


Those doorbars look janky as fuck.. Interested to see more.

[KiLLeR2001]

I thought this build was going be about some custom made Rolex watch faces as center caps for wheels.

[Pinggg]

[Slide infantry]

Told you I'd fullfill what we were going to start ;) but keep underestimating me :)

[hessianben]

"A fool and his money,,,,"....
Keep in mind, that cash can't buy good planning... If you spent some time talking to reputable builders and coming up with a precise goal before buying a bunch of random parts you'll end up with a better end result. Otherwise.... Subscribed for the 'parting out' thread. ;)

[zenkiset]

damn, all the hate lol. cant wait to see a properly built ka-t. keep up the build. haters gonna hate!

[Slide infantry]

Bitches they gon talk haters they gon hate !!

Break into the 500hp club then well talk. :cool:

[delado]

lol at not buying cheap tools. Craftsman is mediocre at best. Snap-on, Matco, Mac Tools, those are quality tools.

[racso_dor]

nice build so far .. are you wearing a rolex as you build this car tho?

[Slide infantry]

Break into the 500hp club then well talk. :cool:

500? ...... You have yet to be amazed :wiggle:

[racso_dor]

any updates??

[Slide infantry]

any updates??

Why do some of you guys just come in and shit on people's builds?

At least he's smart enough to go ka-t.

To the guy talking shit about ka's go build your shitty sr kid.

wow, that looks really good. I can't wait to see the build up to that product.

[murdocsgarage]

Oh damn that is turn out nice. Nice job.

Did you cut up a Rolex and stick it in your dash to tell time? lol. Still curious of the Rolex part. haha.

[Slide infantry]

okay well long story short got tied up with a bunch of things. So the car eventually went from the shop space i rented to my back yard which literally sat there for about 8 months.
http://i66.tinypic.com/jhu5hu.jpg
literally became a parts bin lol
shortly after i started up the build again i was able to find some silvia fenders on here for a deal from a fellow member
http://i63.tinypic.com/2j26gdf.jpg
After that i went ahead and kept ordering parts i would need for the build most of all i was searching for a body kit and wheels and Frsport came clutch with this
http://i64.tinypic.com/j7erm9.jpghttp://i64.tinypic.com/nzn7fc.jpg
i got front dmax and side and 50 mm origin fenders i dint get a rear bumper cause i wanted to do a diffuser later on ps. huge mistake lol http://i63.tinypic.com/fjjgap.jpg

http://i64.tinypic.com/2qakz06.jpg
It deff looked saucing though. So now my main goal was wheels. I was supposed to buy brand ne work m miesters but a buddy of mine gave me a huge deal on some wed lxx faces and barrels. two wheels came with 4 in lips and the other ones came bare:naughty:
http://i66.tinypic.com/2d8hvs.jpg
the offsets are stupid which i really don't know how to measure i just know its a 6.5 barrel and 4 in lip and no back spacing haha
http://i66.tinypic.com/28vwrh1.jpg

thats all for now ill keep updating as i have time hope you guys enjoy this :2f2f:
