Check this kit out, looks interesting, still in pre-orders but I'm trying to pull strings with FRSport and see if they can switch the front bumper to a silvia front bumper for me :)

More bike tuning while the rest of Toronto was falling into darkness. Put on my CRG adjustable levers, got the rims back from my powder coaters and threw on some rim rings, the rings really bring out the blue.



Also looking for a chassis to put this POS into now, guess what motor it is! Should be easy to answer for the likes of Ride, etc.

dat lsx. Good luck finding any kind of chassis worth putting that into around here haha. You'll probably have to go rhd

Theres a couple gc8s floating around that could be interesting to do.

I wish it was an lsx, it's an ls6 though, same one that's in yours I believe. :)

I bought it running for dirt cheap from an older fellow, I was hoping to find some cool stuff in it but it's completely stock.
Motor itself is real nice though, deck and heads are straight, cylinder taper is well within spec, etc. Got really lucky.

In terms of chassis, I was thinking the same thing in regards to having to go RHD, I'll probably leave it on the back burner for the next couple years though.
At least until I'm through with the 180, I might go buy a house or something too.

A friend of mine is willing to sell me the Efini Rx-7 I imported for her for 3k though, I think she has to pay for school or something. Might go buy that but that'll put back the progress on the 180sx.

Not sure what I wanna do with all these things at one time :'(

When I said lsx I meant like any ls block, not that aftermarket lsx lol. You could always just put it in the 180. Low end torque is fun in a drift car and stuff will break alot less than with that sr setup.

I figured as much, I'd put it in the 180sx but I'm already in too deep with the SR set up

Mocked up my greddy rad/oil cooler set up. Had to fab mounts and brackets for the rad since it's an S14 SR rad.
Interesting thing about my oil cooler set up is that it has a thermoblock opens at 75-82 degrees, that way it doesn't take so long to warm up the engine.



Pretty excited with where my oil coolers mounted, planning to use sheet metal to duct it to the "grill" area of the silvia front end. Seen here



Others have suggested running it externally, but we'll see.
