10/11/06 update - some of you who have visited in the past may remember that in my last update I picked up a set of hoshino impuls (p.5), well I've been really back and forth but now I'm back to rockin the ssr reverse mesh!
Since the car is not CA smog exempt, I've started looking more towards a KA motor swap - atleast temporarily - I figure even a single cam KA would be fairly easy to make power in this car - along with the fact that there's a good chance I could legally smog it, after taking it to the state ref.
I've also made a few trips to the local pick n pull, treasure hunting, and happened upon a couple of gems! - off of an '81 s110 coupe, I scored a new nose piece in perfect condition! (the metal trim that runs under the grille and the headlights)- I also got metal front bumper trim pieces to replace my old, beat up ones.
the 15x8 +14's are a little too wide for the stock front hub position and they made light contact with the shock -I installed some small, 3mm, hub spacers and they worked like a charm! - I also found that the 15x7.5 -5's fit in front without rubbing and sit very flush - maybe I'll pick up another pair in that size and run them all around, what do you think?
in the near future I'm looking to do a lot and accellerate my progress! - I've already test fitted my recaros and made a couple modifications so the wedge brackets would bolt up properly - looking to get them reupholstered soon, along with paint & bodywork - and possibly some interesting headlight mods, all to come!
