looking wicked mate cant wait to see it all sprayed up etc

sideways.taff · 9th November 2006, 10:46 AM

Oh yeh, forgot a few updates here..

I finished the two rear arch mods.

Finished the fuel tank mounting bracket

Test fitted the rims where they should be when I get some proper offset 10.5j rims.

Mounted up the front bumper and clamped it in place so that I can make some intercooler, radiator and bumper mounts combined.

The fit on the kit is second to none

I made some support brackets for the rear fenders and rear bumper. These are disposable really as I'll have a few sets with me just incase one gets bent or broken on track.

Then more recently I've been mocking up the v-mount setup with a temporary intercooler whilst I wait for the final on to turn up.

what front bumper is that, look great!

sideways.taff · 9th November 2006, 11:37 AM

Its the Bee*R R324 bumper.

Z TUNE · 9th November 2006, 11:47 AM

Said it before and i'll say it again - excellent work

Now the bodywork is taking shape would it be possible to fit any R34 bumper?
Not that i don't like the Bee R one, i'm just interested to know

sideways.taff · 9th November 2006, 12:03 PM

I don't think so, there's the stepped edge on the sides where it meets the front wings.

Cord · 9th November 2006, 12:19 PM

Not having a go, cos there's some great work involved, but why? You've got quite a few 200sx bits on there, why not just use a 200sx as your starting point?

1. Because I prefer the look of the R32 over any of the S-body cars

2. Because, as Butuz pointed out, the car was dirt cheap - £500

3. Because its different!

4. Because I can...

Fair play to you once again mate.....looks like it's coming along nicely

Just out of interest....how comes you going for the V Mount rather then normal front mount set up ?
