fucking sick, that is where i want it. ATM the car subframe is pretty low to the ground too, im sure its under the 100mm rule. Can you elaberate the angle im going for as opposed to what you would do? Ideally id love something like this:

Man i hate having to hunt for peoples bloody discussion threads so i dont usuall talk about peopels projects. But i couldnt not on yours. Sick build man. I helped my mate vincent jam a SR20DE into his corona wagon and that went like a bat out of hell. Question dude, where did you get your sportmax, and who through? Im keen on a set for the MX but everyone wants moonbeams for them here. In the states you can get them for $250US a set, but getting them over will hit me back another $400US...

What bellhousing setup do these use? Obviously a custom item. Are they expensive? Rota looks sick man. Rebuilt? Did you buy it rebuilt? Id love a series 4 - 5, but ill just pretend i do... Proberly a noob question as im new to 13b's but do they run a real counter weight? Or just the front one under the front cover?

Needs more low but looks a Billion times better then before and handles soooo sexually. Heres a before photo of monster truck goodness: After: I would cut them but there is only 10mm of shock travel as it is... Lucky it handles so good.

Sorry guys, had martial arts training and have run out of daylight. I didnt even get to take her out of the garage. Tomorrow....

Agreed, but you know how these people are. Set in there ways. I was a toyota man through and through for years. Now i dont even own one. Owning this car, and going for a ride in my mates series 6 bat made me open my eyes to the world of mazdas. And the R31 just plain kicks ass for its shitbox shape, and RB30 goodness for only $800 wof and reg. Like to buy a 7m (hateful engines) cressida for that cheap in the same condition...

MX-5 now has tiens and wheels. JUST finished and took it for a hack. pure pure sexual awesome. God i creamed myself in my car. Even my flatmate whos a holden nut was impressed. Pics tomorrow.

I have a spare SC14 kicking around my garage somewhere, but i was going to put that on my R31. Could be YOURS haha. Be atleast 4 - 5 months before i pull it out tho.

Makes me feel better about myself haha. I cant imagine it would be good pulling in air from beside the exhaust regardless.

Sup mofo. Hows the boating/fishing going? What you abusing atm? Motorbikes? That stuff on my face comes and goes like the tide.

Factory BP 1800cc one. This motor is soooooooo lazy. 16v 4age is way more fun then this lazy ass slug. Ive decided to invest no more money into the motor, not a cent. Just sort suspension and wheels. Then crank into the 13b. I was going to build some headers for it, but how marginal the increase i got with my intake mod i cant even be bothered for such little gains. It either needs a turbo or to go in the bin. Like its shitloads of fun to drive, and hunt people down in the corners. But you jump on the gas to overtake on a passing lane, and i might as well get out and push.

Nah, just a set of lowering springs for now. stupid cheap for the set. Will hold me over until i find something more affordable in the coilover range.

Yes they are, but they are also damaged and need repairing.

The white ones are only $250, the bronze ones $650... but the white ones will need to be repaired, tires fitted, painted black. So im bidding on these instead: No one else here better bid or ill cut you.

Stupid ass air intake before shorter more effiecent air intake now. skylines wheels, yes or no? Picking up Tiens on monday so it gets more low. Then to decide on bloody wheels. Maybe these Mmmm Make your choice, noooooowww

Atleast my pants are still on

Maybe i should run modgies on the mx. Seem kinda fitting once its all done... No photo of my flat peak but heres one of me and my bitch:

Haha i gained possesion of the car on sunday and its now wednesday and you guys are hitting me up on progress or pictures?! Atleast i will be kept motivated, if not by the constent enquirys into the car. As for progress i have actually, ive dug out a pair of adjusties i can use for the rear, just need to find the correct nolethane bush to put in the bottom so it will fit the car. Will run some Tien springs in the front on factory struts, can get a pair new for $130 so i thought that was damn good. Should be pinching the wheels of the skyline once i get suspension sorted as they have superior offset (0), and multi stud! No progress on the rota other then buying a flat peak cap, and a dictionary to learn how to write in txt speak. I knew the cosmo was as heavy as a JZZ30 soarer, dont know why i typed 1.4 when i know that z30s are fat fat whales (sorry uterus)

And yea that cosmo makes me hard. considering a cosmo weighs in at a fat 1.4tonne, that motor can make it get up and dance.

Now we're talking!!! 3 rotors is acceptable. I must admit, when I saw 2 13b's there I secretly hoped they'd be getting bolted together. If money was flowing from my pockets id roll a 26b. But not a shit show in hell. I think ill just get by on a rebuild, and shoving the dirty washing machine in there.

The rotanga is a high reving NA. And it WILL be heavenly hahaha far superior Not a mx5 or a 13b but defiantely NA rota goodness!!Id defiantely roll BPT before id do anything else other then a rota.

I was going to piece together my own adjustables from other brands ones and swap the bottom bushes to fit the LCA's. Was just playing with the rear tonight when my hydrolic jack gave out and dropped the car on the wheel that was off. It compressed a bar that holds together the LCA's in the rear subframe. I am seriously fucked off. Will take it for a drive soon to see if it has affected handling, but so sooo annoying. Lots of screaming and me throwing a jack around the driveway thats for sure.

*Sha-wing* Pitty about the wheels haha. May have to take this to oldschool track meet at taupo, will hit up the misses/boss tonight/tomorrow. Might try talk my dad into bringing down his 230atwkw ST165 GT4.
