Hah fuck nah not selling the car!!! Just contemplating flicking some parts

The Euro you saw on RPF1's was probably a mates car...

It is so badass... love the way K20A's drive, so seamless feeling.

(hope you find jokes funny afterward if you sell that... )

No, No not the car!!

i meant your soul, (like when bart's sense of humour's bland after flicking his (for a $5er?)) :?

(old comment i know lol)

Yep, thats the one i saw,

its very cool. Crack up it wasn't yours, but you do know the owner well, small world/(nz city?)

I'd like to have a yarn/old school 'post chat'(ha) with you about your coilovers, they came up beautifully,

as i want to do a similar thing to my old 'toyoda', but simon thinks i should mod off-the-shelf ae86 items,

but thats $1755 + new tophats + other modifications/parts (more$)

and I(/we?) dont even know if bolt spacing for caliper mounts etc & stub axle length are the same?. read an old

post on clubK that talked about those measurements being different on ke series and ae86 shocks.

I wana make my own too, but he thinks its too much of a mish.

-cos im getting a spare set of front struts with a bulk load of parts (incase modding them went horibly wrong,

i'd have a nice stock set for wofs.)

-can get new ae92 inserts off a mate for $100

-sleeve kits are only $300

-I'd need tophats

- & rca's

-and my old man/friends can do machining & welding required.

where did you score your top hats and sleeves, locking nuts etc from?

they look really good, were the tophats a sraight fit for the KP?

& were they reasonably priced?

any help would be appreciated.

So

Got my copy of a certain NZ car ethusiasts mag today....

Good to see OL

K-P in P-Kar!

(even if some of the oldschoola's hate on the 'zine)

....Hope the drones of brainless idiots dont catch on to jdm themed oldschool soon/ever though...

esp when they're putting Boso/kaido sections in it.

Well Done Rich :D

'grats on the NZPC feature Rich. Gee I'm starting to know a lot of people who have featured on 'daily driven', haha.

interview seemed kinda short though, I guess they were pressed for time during nats?

I'm hoping too that no one catches on to the style just yet, but only because I want a chance to finish my cars before the trend inevitably hits :rolleyes:

I'm sorry.

Thanks to the postive comments though :) I thought it might be a good chance to get something a little bit left of the norm out in the mainstream, maybe it will kickstart a trend of less desprung modgie clad KP's. Who knows.

I'd say congrats, but you appeared in the lamest magazine ever. I'm more like wtf? Car looked cool as, and you looked handsome, so every cloud...

lol, fuck. Man, that horse you're riding is so high.

As said bro, awesome. Congrats etc. And this has to be motivation right?

Richie, is nice to know some work is being done! pics of paint will be most awesome

Cant believe they fucked the bonnet sand blasting

That simply shouldnt have happened, and an experienced blaster should be able to do that without warping stuff

Still

So jealous haha

Yeah it's probably a bit overkill but nevermind. Shit will be stronger now.

Al - yeah mate I am a bit annoyed about the bonnet. Gotta look ahead though and it'll turn out choice in the end. Pics of paint etc to come once it's safely up in Akl.

Hmm.

Sorry man... I need to be extremely particular about this whole thing, I have a standard in my mind it must get to and a 'throw it together in a weekend' type thing just ain't gonna happen. Time and money are my worst enemies, more so the latter if I was being completely honest.
