here's 3 more... don't mind the clump of wires next to the driver's seat. I still need to hook up the illumination/accessory wires for the back and maybe 1 or 2 other wires (like 3 or 4 Red/black tracers coming from the fuse panel, and 2 coming from the back of the car....). When that's finally figured out, the seats come back out, new brackets will be made for the driver's side (hopefully including sliders this time), carpet will be installed, and everything reaming will be installed and the interior cleaned

rockin the 4x4 look. I think the CA significantly lightened the front, hence the massive wheel gap, but maybe it was just all the months it sat w/o a motor...

that sticker on the dash tells me what oil i'm supposed to use i think. It's all in japanese, so kinda hard for me to read. I also had a boost gauge hooked up on the pillar, but in the process of removing it to do the illumination wiring, i broke the nylon line and don't have the money right not to buy new brass fittings :(

and ya, that's a 350Z shift knob... i got it for free back when i worked at the dealership. get alot of people asking if its really a 6speed :rolleyes If i could find the stock one, i'd probably put that back on. And the e-brake is on the wrong side, which is why i don't have the center console installed right now. Just have to drill out the spot welds from the trans tunnel on the remaining clip piece and weld it on. Also note the MaD JdM Fl0oR mAtS y0! :ylsuper

my friend's top mount off his WRX. Things as big as my damn motor

Yeah, I drove around in australia and nz both of those countries are rhd and it is weird at first. And yeah I did everything you did with the windshield wipers and not staying in my lane. The only way I finally found to stay in my lane was I relized that when you are driving a lhd car you guide yourself with the center line which is on your left so you try to put the left side of your car close to the line. So when you are in a rhd car you end up puttin the center of the car on the center line. The answer is to make yourself use the line to your right to align yourself instead of the one to your left. I dot know if that is understandable or not but I thought it was better than telling you to think with the other side of your brain or somthing like that
