A hand full of parts


These last 2 days i've been really busy doing some changes on the 180SX... First of all i've fixed my bumper after that crash at Nikko, i could ziptie it (like Mikingo suggested) but would look bad, plus the bumper was all floppy because i hit a pothole on my way to Osaka after the event.
Anyway with the help of Marcus and Lexotic we fixed the bumper and made it look like it was from the shelf (well, almost, but it looks legit and works so i'm happy)


Yesterday i went to a local meet, and some random dude came to me saying that he wanted to buy my BN Inverted hatch + Do-Luck Type 3 spoiler. At first i wasn't really convinced until he offered me 2750 V$ for all. Couldn't refuse such a good offer! I got about 600 V$ profit from when i bought both of them (BN hatch was 950V$, Do-Luck wing 1200 V$).

Today day i found a deal on yahoo auctions for some new wheels and convinced the guy to trade my Veilside Andrew F wheels for a set of Work VS-KF in 18x10 wrapped in new Toyo Proxes Tyres. I think the new wheels fit better the style of the car, plus they are one of my all time favourite wheels.


I never sold my hatch that i used to have before the BN Sports one, i'm so happy with it right now, because i didn't feel like going around junkyards and such to grab a new one and having to paint it and all that stuff.
Went to UP GARAGE (which is my main go-to place lately) and picked up this 326 power version select spoiler for 350 V$. Its nice to have so many shops in Osaka. Im debating to move here, since i'm in Saitama and it's far af. I've been taking the train there instead of spending gas on the civic which has been stopped lately because i'm on a short vacation since Tuesday until next Monday.

Tomorrow hopefully i'll get the spoiler and the bumper painted. That is all for today, i've been on a crazy parts run all day!!

Finances: 2503 + 2750 (BN Hatch and Do-Luck wing sold) - 350 (326 power spoiler bought) = 4903 V$
