Here are some Nagisa auto parts.


Also by some chance would someone know somebody who molds carbon fiber well? I need some custom work done.

curacaosfinest- I just look around online. the hardest part for me to find still is the ABS unit I have been trying to find for months now. All the JDM parts just had to wait a little while for.

to slow- haha I seen your suspension setup after all the parts were already ordered. The setup is too nice to pass up. =D thanks for the info about the carbon parts. I think I'm going to have to wait, because the time frame is cutting way too close.

We stopped by the body shop today to look at the car and it was looking nice! Went to take pictures but we forgot the sd card. Supposed to stop by this saturday again and the car should be fully PRIMERED ready to paint next week. the body work is taking a little longer than anticipated :/
I'll post up pics this weekend.

WoW ... that is bad ***, those guys are doing a really good job on your body work. The panel gaps are dead on..

What was the hit on the body work.. 12k + if you don't mind me asking..What is the engine bay getting?

Thanks

From what I can see it didn't look like that kit needed much work at all. Definitely looks like a quality job. Those brakes are serious

Your AFFLUX Version 5, Herblenny's AFFLUX Version 2 Type R, Fortune_Seven's Veilside Fortune, to_slow's RE-Amemiya AC037 FD, and my RE-Amemiya GT-AD FD would make for one EPIC photo shoot. Now to get everyone to one spot! haha (not to mention a few other guys)

Sorry if I missed it, but what color are you painting it and what engine are you going to be using?

really looking good so far. got a few questions

what are you planning on lowering the with?

also, i've been wondering, the bracing on the cage, the parts with the holes, what are the holes made with? i see they aren't just straight cut holes. they look punched. what do you use to make the holes.

just had to ask. i've been wondering for awhile.

Great kit. Just not feeling the wheels at this point, but to each his own. Did you mention your color choice? I guess we'll know soon enough, right

Thanks for the positive comments

to slow- Thanks man! Heres the last pic i took of the engine bay. This is one of the first things they did on the car. I don't have a more current pic. In some of the pic above you can see in the front wheel wells and in the headlight holes some red. Plan on shaving some of the bay and getting it tucked with a mil-spec harness.


Sm1nts2escape- The kit was really nice, but there was a lot of touching up to get all the body gaps that lined up. Also a lot of reinforcement for the kit was in place too. Also getting a custom skid plate.

Blackadde- All of your cars are badass! But like you said, getting all the cars in one place would be hard. I think you're the only close one. The color is Corsa Rosso, "ferrari red". leaving the color kinda simple. As for whats going under the hood??... I'll let you guys know soon. ;D

funnyscreenname- If you question is " what do i plan on lowering the car with? I posted earlier pics with the cusco coil overs. Also those braces are called gussets man.

ohemgeeitsniko- no the mirrors are ganador. very similar mirrors from the feed ones.
