I'm thinking about going with tanabe sustec pro s-oc coilovers or simply starting out with something inexpensive like eibach sportline springs to eliminate the hideous front wheel gap. what do you think?
sportlines still have super horrible gap, barely better then stock. Also they roll alot in hard cornering and still ride kinda harsh. I had KYB AGX's with them. Dont waste your time/money.

Nice s13 though. Ive always been a 180zx type x fan. I gotta build me one with a CA though....

buying a shock/spring combo IS just a waste of time and money. Alex is right.

love teh new car, especially the aero (but you already knew i'd like that). you're entire parts list is awesome. i want zeal coils so badly, but it probably won't happen. now you just need the 180sx rear side glass and you're set

If you want to travel over to Zilvia, there is a guy I know who happens to be selling a nice white type x bumper down here in long beach. $200 or something....

FIrst I drilled a hole in that panel with a hole saw, but I realized that I would need a longer bolt, and I didn't have one, so I just kept going wild with the cutting.

The passenger seat is on a Bride MO rail I think. Whichever one is for the old Bride Brix, i have that one.

The car looks good. I am also a fan of stickers but in a different way, somewhere along the lines of itasha is what i am into.

What i was wondering is, where did you order your KARO's from? Did you order them through INGs? or did you Order them straight through KARO japan?

And do yours have the drivers foot plate on them? is it optional?

Let me know, I would appreciate it!

One Love,

Ghasty

NO Karos for me.

I should have got them out of the old a** Signal car when I had the chance.

I'm getting some DMAX mats when they arrive in USA.

The 13 is pretty similar to the 14 (I think).same power, some size tires, different car.

all the GT Spec bars are super good though. They tied the car together and it is SOLID.

I'm getting the front tower bar today actually. That will complete my list.

I thought I would suck so bad in a different car... but I only such a little.

You have got to be out of your mind if you think I can fit a 255 on the front.

1. I'm not going to run a bigger tire in front.2. 215/40 is the BIGGEST tire I will run in front.3. They are badass tires.4. How is a stretched tire "played out"?
