You can just pass that top-mount in front of the radiator and it'll work a champ.

I used a small Isuzu NPR on my turbo build - it fit PERFECTLY in front of the radiator. (without A/C)

Anyways, not a wheel ***** yet, still looking for more sets to buy. Ideally I would love another set of Volk Aristan aero discs but chances of them popping up are unlikely, another friend has a set that he is restoring and they're awesome.
If the Millenium Falcon had rims....

Exhaust is done.

3" turbo back, no mufflers, one hotdog, twin 2" tips out the back. Had to run the exhaust under diff because it wouldn't fit over diff. Sits low now, sounds awesone.

Group C Wing they're called, disco'd although, found it at a wrecking yard.

Photodump, no front bumper because getting it on and off the trailer to get **** done is a mish, will go back on now though.

^ its not bad lol.

Started tuning idle maps, it's running quiet lean. Abit more fuel and it's alot better. Put the dash back in last night, boost gauge in, tacho in, just need to make a center panel for my gauges and some switches and it will be finished.

Got it out of the shed and took it to a All Japanese car show with a buddy of mine. Dudes minds were blowing when it rocked up, heaps of people checking it out. That's my buddies 280zx with C110 tail lights, epic car aswell.

Was a good dude, tuned idle fuel map, it's much better.

You know it.

I'll probably tear it off first outing but Im just going to ziptie it up so the zipties break before the spoiler does.

Looks so cool in person.
