I'm still a bit worried about the whole car being fiberglass. How many layers are used in it?

'90 240sx Fastback- Sold / '89 240sx Coupe (duo project)- Sold
The replacements: '76 Datsun 280z, '99 Honda CRV AWD (my new Daily)
R.A.S.R. (Racers Against Street Racing)
Drift Safe (driftsafe.org)

Where are you going to drive this? You're not going to drive it daily, are you? That'd be a terrible waste, it'd go to hell in no time at all.

This is starting to look really cool. Where are you going to drive this? You're not going to drive it daily, are you? That'd be a terrible waste, it'd go to hell in no time at all.

the car is going to be many things to me, a show car, a weekend car, and a demo car for the company I'm going to start, but not a daily driver. I know I have to be carefull but at the same time I'd like to see what it does in the 1/4. my body man is not just putting the kit on, he's also reinforcing it to hold up to 500+ hp.

I think the reason why everyone was doubtful at first is because we did not know you had the funding to pull off a project like this in the quality required to make it look cool.

I know this is what ran through my head...

"17yo kid is buy this kit.. try to attach it with zipties and get it painted at Maaco"

Looks awsome though man! What are you doing engine/suspension wise? or is that a secret? can't wait to see it finished, what color are you going to paint it?

I love how people stereotype and then end up eating their words.

let us know!

Actually I don't remember being overly negative.. I kept it to myself for the most part.

as far as engine wise, I have a rb25 putting out around 300whp, but, not on the car, I have a bigger turbo(pt67), HKS manifold and wastegate, ported head, bigger cams, I need alot more but this winter I'm doing a complete rebuild and shooting on 500-600whp. as far a suspension, there's alot I want to do but at this time funds are for the body and motor. I do have the Meg coilovers cause everyone said good things about them and it's not like I'm building a drift or track car so they'll do(on a budget) I have the cusco 6piont roll cage(soon to be 8+) and tri rear strut bar, fender brace. I wanted to buy this kit from SPL for front and back but someone told me if most of my driving was going to be on the streets, they didn't recommend it, so I don't know. I also plan on getting sway bars, that energy bushing kit, I know there's more but this is starting to turn into a novel so

well said

What is wrong with full aftermarket rear arms?

They will mostly just be louder than stock arms. Won't feel that much stiffer. Most of the stiffness feel will come from the coilovers.

Keep in mind though, that you can go super low, and only require ruca's and rear toe arm.

Definately get front tension rods and tie rods though. Those will definately help out.

other than that though that is a nice job! i have liked that kit for the longest time ~3yrs+

just cuz i can

i have seen a lambo with some insane tires. huge!!! man make it a duely in the back!!! LOL

Enough sunshine. Now it's time for the negative. I am most definitely hating on your budget (cuz I ain't gotz it like that)!

curious as to how strong that kit is. my main concern is the bottom where the vent is (the gap between the kit and acutal car). is there anything that is going to be put there because it looks as if wind could come up and pull that off. other than that though that is a nice job! i have liked that kit for the longest time ~3yrs+

yeah, we thought about it and came up with a few things, I'll point them out when he finnishes that area. the kit is pretty strong.
