Looks good. Im feeling that steering wheel. Does the Xbox over heat in that location?

Nice! Front camber looks Grrreaaaat. How do you like it? I have noticed that the car seems to handle corners alot better than before..

Wow... thanks for the comments guys!
Zion, I need an alignment because at the moment it pulls pretty hard to the left, but after seeing how it looks there is no way i can go back. The rear still has alot more camber, but its not as unmatched now. I will need some spacers to complete it though.
The xbox seems to keep its temp pretty well. XBMC has an auto fan option which can turn the fan upto 100% to keep it at a certain temp and it seems to be going fine. The fan next to it is not currently plugged in, but i put it there just incase. So far i have only done a couple of 30 minute drives, no long distance tests...
But thanks for the kind words, I havent done anything major to it in a LONG time. Next step would either be a kit, or customise the coilovers to go comfortably lower. I just keep spending my money on holidays!! haha

I've always like the simlicity of your car, but I think that a wheel with a polished face would suite it better. Of course it's just my opinion. I'd also like to see it with the Cima styled headlights. I love those style lights on the Y32. They look to be similar in size..is it a retrofit like me doing the X308 headlights on my X300?

Thats exactly how I felt.. I said with how the front looks..compared to how it did. Man theres no other choice in my book.. NOw when I see cars with heavy camber in the rear and none or very little in the front..It just looks off and does not flow...
Glad you did it and glad I was able to give you inperation to do this..It was not long ago when I first joined VSC and had nothing to contribute..
Thanks..

RacinStylez, i am only really using the xbox for MP3s and movies. It copes beautifully so i see no reason to upgrade. I just wanted a cheap media server :)
Rich, we can all contribute, and you were definitely the inspiration for the camber ;)
elpresidente, the Y32 Cima headlights are not a simple retrofit. It would involve the hood, fenders and front bumper; then the front would be a bit rounder than the square ass. But the Cedric Brougham headlights fit and they are similar. I kinda like the the twin headlight look though. I am still looking into Projector retrofit options (though that is further down the track)
And yes, I am considering some new wheels with a polished/chrome look. Would lighten the sinister tone this car has IMO (not a bad thing). I'm gonna try hand picking something when i am in Japan in November

Looking great as always! Never really thought of the Xbox route instead of a media center PC/Carputer... very cost effective and you get to enjoy a few 'classic' Xbox games!

Hehe, easy for you to say, I'm sure you get to go home at least once a year ;)
The Xbox route has a couple of advantages over a car pc. The biggest one is the boot time, 8 seconds till its playing music. Second is that it doesnt mind being switched off at the power source. Actually the biggest advantage is the price... They are so goddamn cheap now; hard to build a car pc with this much media capabilities for under $200
Rich, camber is at max. Still much less than the rear but its better than nothing. Hard to see in my pics, but its about 4 degrees i think

Thanks... It was meant to be unobtrusive and OEM looking and i think i nailed it. Can still fit both rear wheels in my boot if i go on long distance trips :biggthumpup:
I have a network jack in the cabin for uploading new stuff, and since i am still using an inverter i can just plug it into mains when i am uploading etc. I am stoked with the sound quality too! No engine noise at all!
