Incredible! Most people can not imagine the hours of work and commitment something like this takes. I applaud your dedication, craftmanship and creativity.

I just love builds to this extent. I have a friend that has been doing a similar drag build to his S13 chassis for the last two years. Love to see the fabrication skills and innovative ideas. Props to your dedication, since I know the time it takes to tackle a project like this. Quick disconnect body panels are awsome.

U can make them your self very easly..
I use 10mm steel rods and just bend them without any heating..
Just brutal force...


U will probably get them much cheaper in the us..
I have to pay $10 each just for the snapoff brackets.

So I pay about $60 for each bracket I make..

Really don`t no...

They just found the turbo last week, and the internals went out for balancing..
The housings and inlet are out for polishing..

i like the flares need some molding into the sideskirts and rear bumper, but once thats all smooth, and everythings molded in, should look ****, good job, how much wider are the flares from stock? 50MM?

Flares are going to look great once everything is completed.
