So it's been quite some time since I ventured onto here.

Between july 10 and now.....

hmmmm

180sx got all the suspension goodies thrown at it, all brakes were swapped out for R32 GTR items, got everything aligned and handling well.

and then locked it up after a spirited mountain run, wrote the car off. Insurance paid it, so I moved to something better..............................





It's currently getting a built bottom end..... and then a built head will come at a later date...

TL;DR Version

Wrote car off, bought a 33 GTR, building motor.

[sx moneypit]

Very nice!!

[Encryptshun]

When you drop by, you sure do like to draw a crowd. That R33 is stunning.

[Force Fed]

that was a picture from roughly 2 weeks after I bought it, had my ex take the photo (along with some others).

Once the motor is built and back in I'll have more taken of it it.

Just got one of these which will be stuck onto it for carshows and shoots.
