The lights in the bumper aren't wired up... just there. In Europe they are probably Fog lights I'd imagine.

It's a Feed wing (end plates are wrong ones), I made the stands however.

Thanks for the comments guys! Splitter and feed front next

my car's been sitting for 3 months since i drove it from NY to FL and parked it for the winter. my dad tried to start it once while it was in his care, but he flooded it.



got down here yesterday, pulled the plugs and unflooded it. burned off all the junk and took it to the track last night.

stopped by my friend's shop Advanced Race Technology to check out what they were working on. they had a gutted, built, turbo civic on the dyno and two R34 skylines getting motors built.


at the track, my best pass of the night was a 12.9 but could have done better had it not been for this blown factory touring suspension. serious wheel hop from the launch and btwn 1st & 2nd gear...after that smooth sailing though



oh and on the way home from the track, went from a 60mph roll vs. my friend in his R34 skyline GT-R (not pictured...yes, another one...). he ran a low-12 quarter mile at the track, but i walked him on the highway. i'm excited to see what my car will do once i get some proper suspension and can actually launch it.

headed out to an exotic car show right now so should have some more pics later...

also, thanks for the band-aid mom:

I hate to be "that guy" but those are R33 GT-R V-Spec's m8. Excellent looking beasts non the less. Sucks about the crack in your bumper, but i LOVE the "band-aid" =D


i don't have any good pics since the toys all went away before the usual canadian snomageddon but here's some quick iphone snaps.

The red FD only has 35,000 miles (40-something K kilometers on it). It's mint and I love it more than oxygen and/or fried chicken.

get rid of the not so efficient Trust SMIC and go FMIC
fit fuel system off black car (1600 secondaries and 850 primaries, 2 x walbros) as I have ID 2000s x4 for black car

Rotor oil catch can is win.

I've heard the roads in NZ aren't very forgiving but the white car needs to be like 1" lower all around.

Agreed... I was nervous all winter thinking a Plow was going to come and dig right into my car.

I have a guy that does amazing airbrush work. At one point I thought of getting my front end airbrushed onto the cover, Not sure if thats a little too Rice
