kiwi808 Posted January 7, 2024 Posted January 7, 2024 Sweet whip! Are you going to keep it as a street legal track car? I looked at Tein adjusties for my FC but they were nearly $10k! 1 Quote
rotormotor Posted January 7, 2024 Posted January 7, 2024 Nice FC, My teins were a used set from TM HR or something for a grand or something yonks ago. Had to rebuilt a front but I'm looking to replace for BC golds. Got the correct rear lights, are you going to fit the original headlights back on it? 1 Quote

I looked at Tein adjusties for my FC but they were nearly $10k! Yea thats the plan! First tidy up, put pop up lights back on, sort battery box, clean up the engine bay and replace some old hoses etc, muffle exhaust, and just see where it goes... maybe a better ecu with some safety functions Quote

Yes, and have yet to even look at suspension properly but i have had bc golds before and they were really good on my old skyline l, never had tein but they seem to be ok so far, for the one trip i took down the road because neighbors and straight pipe haha Quote
rotormotor Posted January 10, 2024 Posted January 10, 2024 Does it have a manual steering rack or remote electric powersteering pump somewhere? Fantastic choice on the OEM headlamp setup btw. Quote
kiwi808 Posted January 12, 2024 Posted January 12, 2024 You could try Riggs vintage Mazda for some headlight motors? Also, I was warned off Gillies for big turbo motors? Any thoughts there? Just stoked to see a FC project on the go. Will happily follow along for the ride! Quote
rotormotor Posted January 12, 2024 Posted January 12, 2024 Roterek/Omar might have some headlight motors. Prob need the arm, balljoint pivots too? Hopefully the motor plug is still there as it used to run thru the rubber curtained hole with headlight & in my case fog lights plug. Also need the stopper with rubber knob on the back wall. Funnily I just cleared that area out yesterday so have clear pics 1 1 Quote
