So thats how it used to sit, until I got bored of those wheels. Sold them off.
Bought myself a BCL wing + FC mounts, I'm not usually a fan of wings, but this one is awesome. It's either a love or **** thing. I dunno if I will use it yet, but i have one none the less. Gives me a reason to buy an FC if it doesnt go on this thing anyway.
Then started work on the car again and picked up some new steer wheels which started off looking like the above posts photo, the wheels; Work VS KF's, 17 x 9 +5, big brake clearance so I dont have to run spacers up front! bonus.
Anyway, the faces on them were rubbish, peeling, terrible, the barrels and lips were super corroded so i gave them a good clean up! faces are now white, barrels black and polished lip, rears will be around the 18 x 9.5 +10 mark and same colour scheme.
Shitty insta filters are bad, I know. But my camera on my phone is rubbish.
Anyway, they are on, fitted and sitting where I want them!
Now I just need to get the rears sorted out, then there should be more track time and skids around this thread im hoping.
Well, this thread doesnt have enough **** in it. so here, I will add this.
Big country labs rock. Just saying.
Im prepared for everyones sooking so unleash! There aernt any full car shots properly yet, lack of rear wheels stop that. however sometime I will get into gear and get some!
well, not with the cefiro - just yet - more from it next week! I'm actually doing more work on it finally.
my latest purchase! I bought it a few months ago, has gone through a few younger guys before me and before that was owned by some old guy, so it is completely bog stock apart from gay wheels I got with it.
So this is it; prepare yourself, its totally a grandpa car.
yeah, woo, super cool. not really. It came on 15 x 8 +0 steelies WITHOUT stretched tyres. I will let you imagine that, I wont hurt your retinas with such bad taste.
Anyway I'm making this post because I have a terrible habit of saying I will keep track of everything I do, then once i start someone asks me and I can never remember everything that i change - so i figured for this car as its starting with nothing I had better try keep track of everything!
its completely bog stock - or was - when I got it. It had a furious rb20e in it that was held in line by a glorious auto box.
Such rubbish, such slow slow rubbish.
Somehow with that rubbish i managed to smash a rocker completely in half, at the same time jam the cam with the piece, strip teeth off the timing belt and break it.
So after a week or two of sitting, i could not for the life of me choose what to put in it - I wanted to be silly, I wanted to go LS but no, thats just silly. in a laurel especially. 2J was/is to much work and I didn't want another rb25 as those reading this should know by now I also own that cefiro that doesnt get driven.
so I decided to do this, as it was for daily duties and will be driven everywhere as my 'reliable' and hopefully more stock than anything else car - I did the unthinkable.
Thats right. SR life.
I won't bore you all with progress shots - but I will leave you with a mods list so far; and a photo of the bay as it sits at the moment!
Gearbox
Rb20det box
Sr20det bell housing
Custom gearbox mounts
Nismo Clutch
Nismo Flywheel
Single piece tail shaft
S13 pedal box (brake and clutch)
The other usual boring stuff:
In bay front mount
Exhaust - 3 inch - 1 muffler, 1 hotdog and High flow cat
Triple core copper tanked and centered radiator
Walboro 255
Battery to boot
Turbosmart Boost gauge - got rid of the non-working clock.
Boost tee
Woodgrain Nardi
Front lip - club L?
Some hekkaz habiby sub and speakers and amp.
So! it hasnt been run yet, I'm a bit lazy and busy, but hopefully this week that changed and something actually happens! It goes for exhaust next week so it should be fine to roll after that!
Then once all this is sorted, running and getting me to and from work fine, I will add in:
Knuckles
lock spacers
2 way diff
Coils
Solid diff and rear subframe bushes
Adjustable camber/toe/everything arms
Then probably just a tiny bit of low on the s13 stocko's and call it a day! I just want a clean, functioning and tough little street car to fly under the radar! If i want loud, flame popping, attention drawing and silliness I will just jump in the cefiro instead!
Hope it is some peoples taste, SR's aernt my thing but I may as well give it a good go!
