Yeah, ill take a picture of it. Kevin, if the 323 is a GT or GTX ill take it. If its just a plain jane 323, none of the parts interchange. Everything is different.

Opiston well as for the last drag meet we both ran the same time but track was not friendly to us and my boost controller **** on me. but as far as who is faster it s the one with the most skill, and we know who that is! (me)!

i used to have a 323 gtx turbo here it was called a familia though 4wd fun as hell to drive blew the clutch and both front cv joints and junked it, wish i would have kept it now!

Cool, thanks man. Couldnt start it last weekend, the downpipe im borrowing is cracked. So rather than fire it up with a big exhaust leak, im getting the downpipe fixed. Also, need to figure out why the starter isnt working. Other than that, its ready to drive home. Looks really sweet.

most tire/rim shops if they are worth a damn will have that tool. especially if the shop sells rims 21-24" in size. They will usually rent you the tool so YOU can do it yourself right there. Or you can rent it from tirerack.com.

Yo Soul Assassin,
About the fender rolling...I'm torn. With the square fender flares the FC has, the round lip might look a little off. I'm sure once it's painted, it'll look a lot better. Also, since you've got so much power going to the rear wheels, it might be a functionality over aesthetics kind of thing, which I understand. Either way, your car will still be the FC all others are compared. *grin* Get to work in the booth!

PS: If I go on the TAS trip, you better take me for a Wangan battle!

Persona non grata
You really need some wider front fenders to go along with it ... rolling the rears was something I forgot until after the guy was done painting it. Instead I just cut the inside lip off. That's good enough for an extra 10mm or so.

the one we got we actually bought it, it came up to about 300 bucks but once we are done with it we can sell it to the tunning shop and make our money back

Should look great. I have seen an RX with the rear lip rolled just like yours. It works well with the fenders (aesthetically speaking) and that guy had the biggest meats I have seen on a 2nd gen stuffed in there. Love that nose. Can we get that here in the states yet. I'd like to make that front work with my Tri-Point flare kit.

SOLD! But a few questions I must ask. What is the shipping alone to San Francisco, CA (estimate) vs. the actual cost of the nose. Also, does that include the lights and lens covers? How flexible are the ends that cover up where the lower half of the front fender is/was. I ask because they must be able to somehow bend out more than stock to fit with my flare kit. How soon could you 'hook this up'?
