phutumsch Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 An up to date engine bay pic, I've polished nothing and never will, a bit of red going on and some bits not to everybody's taste but this is how it's staying. There are some extra cables/vacuum hose put in, which await a Link G4 system, only thing left to do pretty much. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealNips Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Its your car, keep it how you want! I think it looks good, but My OCD would kick in and I would be polishing non-stop ? 1 Quote 1990 Black MT NA LWB = 2014 - 2020 (Sold) 1991 Red MT TT LWB = 2015 - 2017 (Stripped & Scrapped) 1991 Red MT TT LWB = 2017 - 2021 (Sold) 1991 Black MT TT LWB = 2018 - 2021 (Sold) 1989 Red AT TT LWB = 2021 - XXXX (Kept) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phutumsch Posted February 14, 2022 Author Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) Having got new this and that fitted, I went round the block and soon it was apparent the car was too low, scuffing up my brand new tyres ☹️. Lifted just the fronts 20 or so mm, looks much better now, I may come back down a little but we'll see. In the garage the car will stay, my orange cushions will be on the floor otherwise........

phutumsch Posted February 14, 2022 Author Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) Another job that was required, the car came over from Japan with the OEM decal...... Sadly it had to be removed/discarded and the area cleaned....... To fit some black gloss 3M vinyl, had to be very careful when fitting, the job is not forgiving on careless cutting at all but I've not done too shabbily imo, after the pics were taken I ran a very thin line of black gloss paint along the top/underside to hide slight imperfections ?. Much better with this, I'm waiting on the OEM NISSAN FAIRLADY Z and the TWIN TURBO decals from CZP now.

phutumsch Posted February 14, 2022 Author Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) The car at some point does need a respray but it is more than acceptable now and therefore that’ll be considered when the time arrives but I want to use it and I’m not bothered atm for chasing bodywork perfection.

Peage Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Very cool build mate. It's a unique one. How does that Infinity exhaust sound? Going up to a 3" is on my wishlist but my remit sounds similar to what yours was. I don't want much drone - but I'd also like a nice roar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
