Yeah I agree with you on that one. I have some really fine mesh out in the shed which will be cut to shape and painted black to replace the perspex corners, cutting mesh is far easier then re-making the 2 that got broken. Then will run brake ducts from the bottom 2 vents and a tow hook through one of the other holes.

More pics up!

Blacked the sill and bottom of the door earlier today, and added a fresh coat to the flares. Looks much better! It kind of makes the car look lower and the wheels look a bit bigger. Going to lower it another 30mm or so next time it's in for a setup.

IMO stick to 2L or less, it keeps a lot more options open for racing classes etc, and less weight is best .

As requested, I've matty-B'd the bumper. Going to do the flares and paint the sills black tomorrow / sunday.

I've never been followed home, but did have a weird old mang come up to me in Napier saying that Wags on Springs would go sweet with a Chev Blue flame in it .

Oh ok, Ive done a couple of "dual sprints" down there, and the best I have done is a 1:24, bit hard to drive with std seat tho, trying to hang on and drive at the same time aint easy!

1:24 seems respectable compared to some of the Superlap cars times .

I was hoping the car + me would be capable of doing a 1:20 around track 2... but it's hard to gauge having only driven there for 1 day in a standard 86, and not getting timed. Really have no idea.

And you've settled it then Ben, I'll flatten the paint out next weekend and make sure it's not shiny.

Fuck D thats my mum!

Yeah brad I'm considering going over it with a coat of Saturn black and no gloss... Or I'll just do a trackday with it and it will get a lot more dull , spraycans aren't ideal.

nzdm - haven't taken this to Taupo yet so will have to see in march. What sort of times are you doing there? I think I want to aim for low 1:20's (1:20-25ish) but really have no idea what to expect.

Holy wow! Have only ever seen 1 of these... and it was at the Mazda factory in japan.

Nice find man! Looks sad in storage with things piled on it. Did they know what they had?

Thought I'd try and battle the van thread .

Post pics of the ute that you have, or the ones that you like.

Just bought my one, and they are mint... Suddenly I feel a lot more useful .

Bought a "trademe special" bumper... was cheap enough. It ended up having a warp in the RH corner and needed fixing up. Also made a mounting setup that is quick and easy, so it can come off to go on the trailer.

How it looked when I got it:

Spent ages repairing the bumper. No pics of the process but it came out looking good. What I did was sand the lump down until it was even with the rest of the bumper, then flipped it upside down and layed out about 8 layers of fibreglass for a base. After that was dry I flipped it over and used newtech to give something to mould. Following that there was a lot of sanding, spray puttying and more sanding until it came out looking pretty good.

Now 2 bombs of primer, 2 bombs of gloss black, 1/4 can of matte black and 2 cans of gloss later it looks pretty good. Could do with at least 2 more coats though. Might just do it at home with some laquer and my new compressor.

Also made up a couple of lenses up out of perspex. Painted the front ones red and the corners flatty B.

The repaired corner:

Same here, may be heading up that way for a sunmmer road trip in early Jan. Will have a ute for hauling shit aswell.

I have some uni-filter socks that I dont really want to use, and need to raise funds towards a different setup. PM me if you're interested and make an offer.

I love my 100e's.

I'd be keen if we roll the KP ... you can borrow my 15x8's and we'll chase them?

Yeah the enkei ones are really cool. Dad has them on his AE86 and they are way lighter then my 15" performance alloys.
