Rossdot's red Type-X 180SX

[Ross.]

Hey guys,

I wasn't going to post pictures here until the car was complete. But I'll post a few just now to let you know how I'm getting on with it.

So it's a 1994 with the red top SR20 with a near standard spec. Although it does benefit from JDM climate control and folding mirors and the sunroof!

So basically the car was advertised down in London. I had just sold my S14 and decided not to use the money sensibly but to buy another S body, good thinking there huh. I'm taking a different approach to this car from what I did the S14. Sure the S14 looked brilliant and was fast, but it needed a lot of tidying up. Things I couldn't find the motivation to do. But this car is MINT. It's done circa 60K miles and there's not a patch of rust anywhere on it. I plan on keeping it clean, and respectable. Unfortunately I didn't take any pics of the car when I had stopped driving it back from London. I really should have but I just wanted to get back up the road. I left London at around 4 and I was home for 9. Not bad huh? The car didn't break a sweat either, not a single fault.


So far I've fitted -

Type-X front bumper and lip
Type-X side skirts
Type-X rear spats
Type-X spoiler
Kouki tail lights
Carbon RPS13 garnish
Raybrig headlights
Sleepy eye mod
Clear front and side repeaters
Nardi steering wheel
Chequered floor mats
Bride Zeta seat
Bride rail
Blitz boost gauge

I think thats it so far. I've spent most money on paint - now the kit is complete I am over the moon with it. I had planned on BIG wheels once I've gone 5 stud. Ie 18/17X10+ ET- with all the camber but it'll drive like shit. So I think some nice TE37 will suffice. And it'd be a shame to destroy the arches, they are utterly mint. Factory fresh! My next plan is either coilovers and 5 stud. I'll probably have the front A pillars painted in between too, oh and the mirrors! Long term I'm thinking about stage 3 power, big top mount turbo etc. But I'll keep the engine as is just now.






Let me know what you all think,

Ross.

Fantastic looking car mate, i love red 180sx's makes me wish i held out and didn't get my black one now lol.

[robbys13]

Lovely looking car pal.

[Ross.]

Thanks guys, I really love it.

I can't wait to get some good wheels on it and get it nice and low! 17X9.5 ET12 TE37's is what I need, holla!!

[AdamRPS13]

I've got 17x9 ET3 and 17x9.5 ET5 SSR proffessors to go on mine soon, can't wait

[Ross.]

They'll be good!! I had Meisters on my last car and my friend has Meisters on his 180 so I want to steer clear of them for just now haha.

Staggered TE37s will make this you know what you gotta do now

JDM Distro just put some some 17x9.5 Bronze TE37s ET12 for £1440?

[Ross.]

Yeah dude, I saw them. But at that kind of money I'd rather import a set of TE37SL's.

Currently sourcing 5 stud parts. I need S14 LCA's ASAP as I'm going to have them extended by 25mm to give the camberz!

I must have s14 LCA's on mine as its set to maximum positive camber and i've still got negative lol

Currently bidding on a few sets of Blitz type 03 in Japan. Not sure if I should get them or SL's, URGHH FIRSTWORLDPROBLEMS

[Ross.]

Well... I've just won these, check the dish!!



17X9.5 ET25. Now I'm in need of 2X18X10J's for the rear. I love YAJ

[AdamRPS13]

These are the only other wheels i wanted to fit on my 180sx, and the fact yours is red. I'm gonna be so jealous!

[Ross.]

Ha thanks dude. It was gonna be TE37 but I too like impulse buys

[wildwest]

Thanks Wes!!

Threesome pix once this is low and on wheels!?

[jj205mi16]

looking so good bud, miss having a sunroof!!!

[Ross.]

Thanks dude.

Yeah I love it haha. It's usually a downside due to not being able to fit a cage however in Japan there's cages for sale that dodge the sunroof, good times!

[wildwest]

The reduced headroom kinda sucks

It does. The cage in the 14 pissed me off majorly but it did look badass haha

[MapBoy]
