Why no tub?


I like the look of stock wheel wells compared to tubs. Besides, I run drift spares that don't rub on full lock, so I don't really need tubs. My XT7s (9.5 +30) didn't rub when I had them on.

Prepping everything else before putting in the engine, lots of progress



Got some brand new s13 silvia headlight brackets :thumbsup:





Loomed up the body harness and wired it into the passenger side door grommet, won't be visible after the fender's on

Still can't get over how nice the engine compartment turned out.



Mounted BMC and CMC, have a nismo slave cylinder hidden away somewhere, just have to find it.

More rice please :) Powder coated my front subframe the same yellow as the rear subframe, lol.



Tidying up some final features with the engine compartment and I'm finally going to drop in the engine. Finally some tangible progress. :rolleyes:

also, if you ever get your helmet painted, the painter will hate you for getting a flat/matte black helmet, they are a pain in the ass to get off hahah

lol right! whoops.

I haven't been using it much actually, sucks that the signatures are right in the areas where my hands are when I'm putting the helmet on :(
I've been using my shoei helmet for regular use and bring out the icon when I feel like I want to be cool that day :thumbsup:

Subframe bushings are fucking scumbags, I wish I had a hydraulic press at storage :(

Not having a fun time, lol

how are you removing it?
I saw guides with a propane torch but it looks like you're just dousing it in petrol?
