Nothing really new just waiting on some bits and pieces

My buddie with his rb25 neo swapped 32

Got some s14 front LCA and s14 axles

Grabbed some s14 knuckles as well painted it silver like my diff

Grabbed some of these HKS garage moon power matts!

Had some time to fit the rear bumper to glass it together

Glassed it together and sanded this beast shits hard work

Sanded it down with 40, 80, 120, and 400

Rear and front are DONE

Whats up with the big hex bolts in the rear bumper there? was that just a metal backing plate while you were laying the fiberglass?

either way, nice work

Good eye! I mounted the bumper on the car and had 4 thin metal plates. Drilled 2 holes each side and put bolts through it to hold the bumper straight and together. I used foil tape on top of that and glassed the inside of the bumper. I also put resin in the front before I used body filler. Its my first time doing this after watching some youtube videos. Turned out pretty good sanding just sucked.... I did the same for the front and sideskirts

sidewaysil80 · 04-05-2016, 01:09 PM

Random question:

Not that it was uber durable to begin with, but after re-glassing is it a weak spot that you have to be careful of, or is it stronger now then before? I.e. if you bottom out or scrape will it split right up the middle?

Regardless that aero is gorgeous and really unique in a sea of now obligatory r32's.

Its actually stronger on the spots where I glassed it. I accidentally dropped the car on the skirt and landed where i gladded the skirt. It bounced back and chipped the body filler thats it hahs. But I used resin on both sides to make it stronger.

drftx · 04-05-2016, 01:55 PM

A trick to use to is fill the bottom part of any aero with "the great stuff" makes it stronger and absorbs shock.

Supraman127 · 04-05-2016, 08:45 PM

Damn.... so you finally paid off the car huh?

drftx · 04-11-2016, 07:10 PM

Buddy of mine cut and extended my LCA's still gotta cut out the bump stops

It was kinda nice out and the front shocks were blown. Swapped out the fronts for STANCE coils and relocated the harness as well as putting the front fenders on.

This stupid fender liner was a bitch I was to lazy to take the wheels off

Got that thing outta the way

In you go!

Blown ass apexi shocks VS STANCE

Stay tuned.

tuzzio · 04-13-2016, 08:25 AM

the attention to detail on the LCA's is amazing.

Almighty So · 04-13-2016, 08:45 AM

Misleading thread title op seems perfectly aware of what he's doing

drftx · 04-17-2016, 08:00 PM

Nothing too crazy just a small touch. The r32 did not have the trim around the key cylinder so I picked this one for a 180 off of ebay. Came with the "JDM" key ring!

A lot of trimming was required haha

End result is pretty cool!

What kind of mirrors did you buy and where at?

drftx · 05-09-2016, 07:36 PM

Put my aero on!

and then some lady hit me

Fixed!!

Car wouldn't start and found this on the intercooler so I picked up a Greddy for a good price

drftx · 05-19-2016, 10:03 PM

Small update

Did this little mod will change the hose later on haha

Went ahead and swapped out the old apexi for a HKS

Took me forever to find these

Thanks to pacific nihon I got all 4 !! Took me a hot minute to find a full set of 18s on YAJ

Also snagged these

Mr. white · 05-20-2016, 06:59 AM

I'm stoked for this. Did you get that hose you are using on the Air filter from Home Depot?
