180sx Version 2 - F I N I S H E D

kinda

Yeap - The S13 got back from the body and paint shop. And yes it looks s p i c y. Even tho back then my plan was to make it look like my own version of the red 180sx that Koguchi once owned, I kinda had the idea to go full out Kyusha with it. And when I found that really sick a** budonoki wing for 400V$ it was pretty obvious which way this was actually going. When I finally found the shop that wanted to help me out with the bodywork and paint we also settled on building up a "half-cage" for both looks and safety since im crazy enough to try and slide this thing at the tracks.


As you can might tell the car got A LOT lower. I even had to remove the front lip I installed before but it kinda works now without. I also bought myself a full set of 13 inch Hayashi Yayois 2-piece and a full set of 13 inch SSR MK1. Both previously rebuilt - 2.500V$ for both and about 450V$ for the new 195/55 Toyos to stretch on.



BTW the whole procedure at the bodyshop and getting this thing together costed me about another 2.500V$. Probably one of my most expensive builds yet but to get this together and working was definitley working. Well.. still have to weld together a "muffler" heh. And before you ask - I kinda laid back the Mark II for a bit.. We're still kinda going through the whole building process with the 4AGE swap and the bodywork.. So please be patient with that. But atleast my daily EG6 also got some love.



Its actually not that much but I bought a FRP wing from JDM Osaka (450V$), a used Bride ZETA III (500V$) that I kinda managed to refurbish (like I did back on the S14) and ended up wrapping the new wing, sideskirts and the side trim in white (50V$).



That's about it. I'm REALLY happy about how the S13 turned out and how the EG is evolving.. But it hurts to see the Mark II unfinished, sitting in the corner collecting dust.. That needs to change ASAP! ;)
