My 180sx

[tokyo_black]

Hey guys.

I'm going to post up a history of my 180sx so far, and keep this thread updated with what i'm doing to my car

I picked it up late december 2007 and i've been loving it ever since

So let's kick off with it in Japan, this is a shot in the Japanese auction car park.



This was the night I brought it home, all the way down from Dundee



This is at Hybrid Paintworks in Ware to get it up on the ramps and see if everything is in order underneath.



And now time for my first mod! URAS GT wing.





I ran the car like this for months and I was very happy until in a freak 'leaving-the-bonnet-catch-open-while-testing-driving-new-fuel-pump-at-high-speed' incident. This smashed the fancy bonnet up and dented my roof real bad.

Unfortunately I didn't get any pics of this as I was too pissed with how stupid I had been to leave the bonnet on the latch.

Anyway I somehow reasoned that it would be cheaper to get all the bodywork done on the car that I wanted to do and so started the new build!



We stripped down all the juicy body parts on the car and sold them on to fund the new parts.



Wheels are getting ready to be sent off to their new home on the continent.



My 180 is tucked away waiting for the new parts to arrive and looking very sad

Off to the bodyshop for fitting and paint.



Some bodyshop progress..







Months pass and this comes out..







Finally I get it back and it looks like this..

I've added a load of small tweaks like installing a bride seat, replaced the apexi with a nur spec, added Z32, loads of silicon hosing, a nistune ecu (still being fitted as my wiring is being troublesome..) and some stickers.

Here are a couple of pics from convoy.





And that brings us up to date with the Banzai photoshoot a few weeks ago.















I've just taken it for it's MOT and i'm hoping to hear it has passed but you never know!

[Pablo13]

Lovely example you have there

[tokyo_black]

Thank you for all the positive comments guys

'ok.. that car is a big gay car ' This I can live with - it's my car And you need to get a sense of humour

'a little more down wing and its perfect' <-- this would take a good chunk of the aggression from the look of the car.


I've spent way too much time planning and thinking this out

[GAV200]

If ever there was a car that could get away with a wing that big yours is it

Absolutly stunning mate
