Still super envious about this.  Such a great project.  Good shit man, keep up the great work! 

Exhaust gaskets?

Some.  I think.  It'll be fucked though. It's been outside under a tarp in Invercargill for a while by the looks of it. Sitting on pallets as well so...  Not ideal.

How fucking cool is that?  Daaaaaamn. 

Gen I on Mugen alloys.  That's super sick.

I had a look though some of the entries, I am quite gratified you think it's interesting enough to compete. I don't know how well it would do against some of those no rules american builds though.

You get to choose your categories to compete in, definitely a worthy candidate in my mind.

I think you should enter this monsoir pawg.

Case in point. Did the rx2 coupe come with this badge on the boot lid? 50% of cars have it. 50% don't.

It might be a market dependant thing?  I'd just search for brochures and see what haps. 

I found this one for you. 

USB is 5V. 

Hopefully that's all you need to do but yeah it should make a fairly substantial difference even on its own from that large rear drooper. 

Perfect! 

I've been peeping this on insta for a wee while.  Such a good wee van, so clean.

He has had it for decades.

I'm sure @Goatwould enjoy this also. 

Oh man, how good. 

Getterdun. 

Sell the wheels you botched to help pay for it? 

IMSA widebody and wider wheels again.  Do it.

Can I ask what size wheels and offset they are?

I'm going to guess they're staggered 17x8, 17x9 +35 all around. 

(only because they look similar to mine and that's what mine are - I think)

wow my fc made the cut, only decided to take this on the Wednesday before RE as the rx2 wasn't quite ready, so had some issues as its been sitting since 2006.

 

Great choice of wheels. 

Cut the dump off and slide a section of straight into the existing exit pipe.  See how you go.  Looks like you could fit about 6-8inches of pipe which should make a significant difference to sound. 

Get rid of the monstrous tip.  Put a decent length of pipe out after the muffler instead of it dumping straight down.  Replace the resonator in the centre for a muffler. 

Whaaaaaat. 

Unreal.

no i just was curious if i could get any info on its time in japan

 

life on a japanese farm, providing gentle nangs to the cows etc

Lol, cows. 

One of the best things about Japan is the massive lack of livestock compared to here.  Rice fields and other crops everywhere, we drove all over and saw one farm that had cattle/livestock. 

Yeah, potentially. 

That's the jist though, pay a bloke to organize someone to get the info then to translate it.   I think.

Does Japan have a carjam thing? 

asking cos my DR on carjam says previously registered in Japan and first rego in NZ 1989, so curious if i can use the frame/chassis number to dig up some documents

All the data is available but at a price because in Japan you can get the info but you have to physically go into the licencing agent and pay some fees.  I can dig up the name of the place if you want, not sure off the top of my head.
