when i got it it was stock
I put the Pioneer Deck in when i got it from my 180.

So far, ive done a few things
Silkroad RM8 Coilovers
some ghetto fabulous wheels
Rear camber arms so i can actually fit some wheels
Brake master cylinder stopper
intake
HKS bov

and this is how it sits now

I also have a Suede nardi to put in today
some 150mm length front springs to go lower (front is maxed out right now)

The plan is for some Fabolous, lock smithe, or something along those lines 18s or 19s. roll the fenders minutely, since the rear wont really roll well. 
Aero, paint it, 
then work on the engine
GT25, GTR fmic, GTR injectors, GTR fuel pump, downpipe, catback and z32 mafs.

i have like 4 grand to play with so, we shall see what happens

Very very cool Im a wagon guy I can't wait to see what you come up with.

I needed something that was large enough for the kid we are working on, that i could haul all my stuff to the track in luxury, switch my seat out, hook up my harness, and go grip racing.

I think that this can do it.
noone says you cant build a VIP "styled" car adn still race it right?

Manual swap?

Front looks like a Celsior ucf20 / Crown :thumbsup:

I second that. I love wagons as well.

Tell 'em the best part Yokotas!
 
LoL, skyline wagons... great value from what i can see. Btw, did you use the camber arms to [i]correct[/i] the camber, or increase it?

[QUOTE=Yokotas13]no one says you cant build a VIP "styled" car and still race it right?[/QUOTE]

Welcome Back........ 

I see you still have the race fever :smiley:

i can never shake it

But I have a kit and paint in the works
Some 18x9 +24 and 18x10 -4 works in the plans soon also
I get the 4 grand from my car monday, so parts will be ordered

I didnt actually adjust them yet

I cant go any lower, im waiting on a fender roller to roll the lips. right now the rear rubs allll the time. and i dont want to lower the front and have a raked effect.

and so you know comparatively how low it is

It will go lower, just gotta roll some stuff, and pound some stuff so the 18s wont rub anything.
i cant wait to start ordering more stuf!!!

yeah i think R34 front would be the shit!  the front end conv shouldn't be as hard as doing a jdm integra front on a usdm.  besides that, i'm assuming you live in Japan so i'm sure there are a few bodyshops who know how to do this conversion as well.  it just all boils down to having that Yen!  whatever you do, keep us posted with pics!  this car is tight, i always bought one in Gran Turismo  hehe

it boils down to im not spending hte yen for labor in japan. its 3x as much as the US

i can do it, its just a matter of time

But for now, i have made a different decision
I am going to go with the Airride and wheels first
i MIGHT have enough left over for aero.
we shall see.

Yokota

I swear a guy named scott was asking me about a stagia air ride yesterday and also painting a kit.  Is this your car.  I painted the Cefy the black with red flake.

[IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y182/DXJP/DSC01908.jpg[/IMG]

[IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y182/DXJP/DSC01919.jpg[/IMG]

yeah he was!!!
I just didnt want to go 3 grand for a kit

THat cefy is bad ass
I might get my aero in before you leave hopefully!

IM glad i know how you find you lauren lol
if you can do your setup for 2 grand ill be more than happy. But 3 just digs into the rest of my funds
i sodl my 180 for 4k. so thats all i have left to play with for a little bit

We would have to use some used parts to get it to 2g.  If you dont mind that Ill see what I can do.

I head back to Saudi on the 25th if you have your parts in bfore then then I can paint them.

I will be building 20 of these for KIA

The ride looks great, I would buy one of these if they made them in the states. personally I would color match and paint all black, put a staggard set up and bag it....no kit needed it has great lines already.

by time its all said and done, after i bag it adn see how low it goes on stock body i might not need aero

That kit looks good I'm excited to see what its gonna look like.  How the heck did you find that on yahoo japan.  I couldn't navigate around that site to save me life. Is there a way to convert it to english.

google translator ftmfw

and i just know what to look for

He lives in Japan, I assume he has a little knowlege of Japanese. Its really not all that hard though, most searches are on chassis codes

Damn thats cheap... I'm interested in seeing how the fitment is, because he also sells a Y32 kit. Not my fav Y32 kit, but for 17,000yen its worth it just for something different :)
