thanks man! and i am jealous of your FLCAs and knuckles! that picture is misleading. the tension rods are actually in the stock position. the holes i filled are for the ARB links and some random, unused hole. i am considering moving the tension rods inboard though.

I don't quite understand your wheel choices, as you've been on this "Lightweight" Kick but to each there own badass car non the less.

dude, it's true. i can't even explain it. i'm a sucker for those big-ass stupid wheels.

thanks for the comments folks!

i'm serious, you're in SOCAL, and finding a shop like that shouldnt be hard

or you can build me one

mad-ass · 01-08-2014, 12:19 AM

I'm happy with your wheel choices, you nicely brought out your inner ricer in you.

I am going to vote that you paint this car Porsche Amethyst Metallic. Or more fittingly the Nissan LS1 paint code.

haha, its true. if it was 3 years ago i would be putting OZ Alleggerita HLTs on the car. drifting does bad things to a person.

two40guy · 01-12-2014, 03:00 PM

*DJPimpFlex* · 01-12-2014, 09:26 PM

ha! the green car is coming together beautifully! way over my head. i'm just trying to get on your level man.

lunarbomb · 01-19-2014, 07:52 PM

minor update:

finished making all the brake lines and rerouted the handbrake lines per xoxide's feedback.

all i have to do is make my exhaust and then i can put the car on the ground.

ill. · 01-19-2014, 09:04 PM

Amazing work dude. Good stuff.

mad-ass · 01-20-2014, 02:00 AM

on the rear brakes...

I see one open brake caliper ear lobe...what did you do?(I smell some fancy bracket pictures coming)

lunarbomb · 01-20-2014, 07:34 AM

luckily, all i had to do was poke new holes on the Z32 side of the uprights to get the wilwoods to fit. no fancy brackets required!

*DJPimpFlex* · 01-20-2014, 09:20 AM

Stock axles? Don't drop the clutch. I learned that the hard way.

juvi22003 · 01-20-2014, 09:32 AM

I see another clean build, i like where this is going !

xoxide · 01-20-2014, 09:42 AM

Looking great man!

Hatemy7 · 01-20-2014, 09:59 AM

lunarbomb · 01-20-2014, 11:25 AM

yeah, i was bummed to hear about your early retirement from winter jam. i'm definitely concerned about the axles and the diff. some say it's ok. others blow them up.

lunarbomb · 01-27-2014, 05:57 PM

i made some good progress over the last few days.

seat and harness in.
that is the "destroyer of progress" sitting in my seat.

then i buttoned up a bunch of loose ends, got the car on the ground and actually drove it for the first time! it was just around the neighborhood but i was pretty stoked. it was a solo trip so i don't have any pics.

still a lot to do but getting so close!

Kingbaby · 01-27-2014, 10:23 PM
