mas12555 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Thanks for the kind words Scott was nice to meet you good luck with the build look forward to seeing it at future shows etc. James Cheers mate means alot . Right then abit of a small update. All the CT9 stuff is now gone, blitz k1 has gone as well. Decided I want a wepr gt20 but due to how expensive they have I have purchased a cheap TD04 kit just to get me by for a year or two. It is a toyosport manifold but atleast its mildsteel which means once braced it shouldnt have any issues. Also comes with everything i need except gaskets and a good oil return. Also hoping to get a quieter exhaust system soon because mine is just way too loud. Plus I hate the 5" tip with a passion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bajansuperman Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Any link on where to get that Defi Advance ZD replica Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mas12555 Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 Any link on where to get that Defi Advance ZD replicaI bought it off of a guy called finbar on facebook mate. Right then aim to get the car on the road between October and November. running at atleast 200bhp. This car has been a right money pit! Bought even more stuff in japan! Got a huge list of stuff to import now. Got skyline R32 gtst brakes which has an adapter bracket to fit starlet hubs. disc is 180mm. Heard some civic guys just manage to fit 15s but most run 16s. If my 15s do not fit over them then the plan is to find 2 more 16" oz wheels. Run 205/45/16 on the front and 195/50/15 on the rear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jhandy Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Those calipers look real safe. With all those washers spacing it out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mas12555 Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 Those calipers look real safe. With all those washers spacing it out Nothing wrong with that . Thats mint mate. Matt humphries oxford used 3mm spacers on their calipers to space them out and they build professional rally cars. Although I do know someone who could make me a whole new carrier.

mas12555 Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 Got the week off so its the respray week! Outside java green and inside is going white!Spent today stripped every last panel off the car to paint the shell. I am trying to do the best job I can. I think I am doing well. Got the car in an ebay gazebo at an attempt to prevent bugs, dust etc getting in the paint. I know its not ideal and the respray wont be no way near as good as normal paint but its cheap and easy to repair. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
