ha ha no v8 new to these rotarys so still trying to work things out.
Gander, nice to see you here dude :)
You got any insane plans?! Knowing you it\'ll be a monster by the end of the year :D You bought sam browns Kranzes then? :)
For those of you that dont know him, gander built this monster 180sx with an RB26 :) IIRC t rear whees were 13.5j :eek:

hello mate no insane plans of yet. just a few tuning bits and a new roof if i can find one.
Sick :) once you\'ve caught rotary fever you\'ll want a quad rotor in it :D
My fd is in lots of pieces but getting there! like it lots man :)
The FC looks awesome! Love what you\'ve done with it. And I believe yours is the first cab I\'ve seen with an aerial that\'s actually intact. :p
Awesome S13 too :D
S13 splitter actually looks really good! Got a spare? XD
*cough* 180sx *cough* :D
SRB power make the kit - Gt style :) though IIRC ganders splitter was carbon as well as the diffuser and the roof skin :)
Okay then what\'s the difference between a \'180\' and an S13, far as I knew they were the same.
And SRB Power as in Daniel Patch and his S2000 SRB Power?

cheers im well happy how its come out so far. got some oem skirts to go on this week and paint the splitter black. cars not boosting as well so thats in line.
as for the splitter they are cheap cheap. pre facelift s13 front bumpers are plentyfull and at a cost of no more than £30 its a almost factory fit on the rx as well. :D
Nice!! Good to know they\'re a very close fit :) :D
180sx is the import and s13 is the uk car. my one was an s13 though fezcat
and yeah same srb dan. my s13 is the one in his adverts for the carbon roof and carbon gt kit.
Awesome stuff! I\'ve known Dan a while, been to a few shows together but never actually met him as he\'s never by his car always chasing girls bums to take photo\'s of lol
(http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b392/richgander/portsmouth12.jpg)
was on all srb stands in 2009 and banzai cover car march 2009. yeah thats the dan top bloke

Wtf?!
Well bugger me with a fishfork! sorry about that mate, could have sworn someone told me it was once a 180!
My bad :(
Was such a hot car man, where did it end up?
Also did you have the rex compression tested? :)
Well looky what I found from Z009! :p

ha ha yeah that car. its gone to the parts box in the sky. i broke it for parts :o.
im not that sentimental and didnt want to see someone else driving around in something i would regret selling if that makes any sense.
the shell is being built back up on dw at the moment though so its getting used.
Seems I might have met you already then! Swear I stood by it and talked to you about it briefly before finishing off wandering around the field :)
probably. im usually nice and social at the car shows. if im :censored::censored::censored::censored:ed im usually spotted easy. there was a guy at z009 that asked to sit in my car. then spent half hour making sexytime noises rubbing the cage. very weird. not one of your mates i hope.
LOL nah, I tend to avoid people that make sexytime noises in public places, especially if it\'s from rubbing over a rollcage >_>
Wheeeeeeeey, new member to the FC crew :D
Nice car man, i want a S13 splitter on mine but frankly the cost of getting one from the UK to Cyprus will probably make it not worth the hassle. You got big plans for the cab then dude? Considering that S13 looked such a monster i vote you should let yourself loose on it!! P.S. Love the wheels too man, sexy stance and dished rims FTW!!
Oh and welcome :Giggle
looks good, how the hell those tyres dont rub is a miracle. Stock skirts will work very well. Your S13 RB 26 must have been a weapon, what quarters did it run?
I have had several FC\'s and finding a front splitter evaded me, stock ones are like rocking horse crap. That is a very good spot and i am sure once word gets out, they will be a popular add on.
my s13 ran 12 flat at 125mph not that good. it also managed a 145mph run in 4th gear at totb 09 gearbox trouble but another time it managed 186mph gps before hitting the limiter.
yeah i dont know why its not on every fc.
what 18s are those size/offset
they are 8.5x18 and 9.5x18 adr wheels et 29 i think
i like that a lot, nice and low, not too offensive, clean
great wheel choice! that car looks pretty darn mint too!!
actually i think i needs a larger profile on the rear.....just being picky though :D
Gander? You don\'t know anyone that can get hold of one of those pre facelift S13 front splitters do you? I\'m looking everywhere for one but really struggling there seems to be no-one with one on DW or sxoc, anywhere else i can try mate?!

ditto i\'ve been looking for one for a while now to
Me too lads, don\'t worry, there\'s a queue! You need to know the right person really, they\'re not easy to find atm.
Looking good Gander, you\'ve done a nice job so far!
I\'m stalking SXOC and Driftworks, but no one wants to just sell the splitter. One guy i offered £30 for it and he wanted me to take the whole bumper for £80 - mental!
