So I test fitted the full kit except front bumper because it's identical. Fits well, underspoiler goes great with the rest of it in my opinion.

It'll look decent once it's all painted that's for sure.

Does that rear spoiler decrease rear visibility? Thats the one I would want to get, but looking at some of your pics that just occurred to me.

What body kit is that? I love the look of it and I've been searching long and hard for one.

Also, haven't checked in for a while - nice to see you got the turbo engine running! Can't wait to see some vids at the track whooping on people who dog the rotary or think they're awesome in cars 20+ years newer

No idea what the kit is if I'm honest. I've got 2 full kits now so it's good.

Rear spoiler, it's not bad unless someone is tailgating you. I run a broadway 330mm mirror so increases visibility over the standard one and I have no issues.

Ooh dude good call I've been meaning to get a wide mirror for a while now. Did you get the one that is slightly convex?

Exactly what I was thinking - glad to hear its true!

Such a gorgeous wide open hatch, pity to waste all that glass space with those tiny mirrors

How does the car handle with stretched tires like that? I've seen so many cars with wheel setups that have stretched tires. I've never driven a car with them so I am curious if you have less grip or if the car feels sloppy.

I'm happy with it as it sits, only thing I need to do is fit new front bumper and get some new fog lights. This is the final height it will sit at, not as low as I had hoped but any lower and it's not really driveable.

Hitting track on the 16th of next month, finished the fuel system off last night, using a Holley Red lifter to a 1.5l surge then the 044 to motor with a sard FPR.

Anyways, this will have to tie you over.

Rather be safe then sorry, I might do a fuel cell at a later date but stock tank should be fine. I've always had issue with surging so hopefully this will stop them.

I bought the underspoiler from a friend who bought it from japan, they're pretty cheap, just costly to post due to the size.

No idea about the hydro, I would assume it would work better because drum handbrake is always better then calliper. One of the best things I ever installed though!
