180sx from Canada!
Hey everybody:
My name is Alan and I'm from the middle of nowhere Canada, aka Winnipeg. I drive a 93 180sx I named Aniki. I am a wheel and fitment ***** and thats pretty much what brought me here.
The car itself doesn't really cater to any one "style" but I just build it w/ whatever cool parts I want. It rode around slammed on tein flex's for 3 summers but after fixing my exhaust and oil pan every other month I got fed up with dealing with our crappy streets, sold the coilovers, and I am now looking into a BOC set-up.
I wanna post pictures but they are all on facebook which is blocked at work (luckily forums are not teehee!!!)
Thanks!

Something wrong w/ the gag gauge. It reads 30% over whats really in there. Very handy for tricking my friends into buying me more gas lawlz (I ask them to "fill my tank", they notice that it's slightly off the F tick, and proceed to fill +30% or 15 litres over what they think is actually in there!!!)
Then I got my RS Watanabe's painted and also scored some Tein Flex w/ EDFC! TIME FOR LOWAH!!!
MOAR LOWAH!!!
MOAR BECAUSE MOAR!!!

Time to get to work. Sound deadening removal takes so much time. But it's really fun and relieves stress! I'm pretty sure I will end up with 100's of extra nuts and bolts when I put everything back together teehee.
And test fit Status Racing Ring GT + Bride FG rails. Comfy! I have a second identical seat but no rails for it yet :(
Oh, and when the dash goes back in so will these! Defi Super Sports Cluster + BF Gauges (Boost, Water Temp, Oil Temp, Oil Pressure, Fuel Pressure, EGT). Also pictured on the top is some imported jerky. YUM!!!
And a random shot of the brakes that will go in. ENDLESS FTW!!

Looks good, haven't seen so much meat on a tire in awhile.
Bucket seats and gauges and brakes look promising. I suggest some newer wheels to show off your bbk.

LOL dude I had the same dilemma about rims and how to better show off the callipers. Also, I don't think they clear anything smaller than 17's (and the watanabe's are 16's).
So I got a really good deal on some time attack concave TE37's. Size is 19x9.5 and 19x10.5+22. Tires will are 255/35 and 285/55. The bad news is that one of the 9.5's is out of round so I will have to replace it or something. I will most likely end up borrowing a pair of my fiancee's pink te37's until I score a hookup on a 19x9.5+22 te37.
