Was around this time that i started to try fit the Flares that came with the car and decided they would not do. So order a new set from Otomoto.

Plan for now is just put the L24 back in and get rego, possibly triple the 24 if im happy with it.If not the car did have an RB26 sitting in when i brought but really this is the last piece to the puzzle and i dont know what i want but leaning towards old school with triples. Also must be manual so manual pedal box and 5 speed going in.

Ye L24 or similar with triples would be mint

even an ITB EFI setup, so you dont spend 18 hours every saturday balancing the carbs

From what i have seen for ITB motors they dont make the power for the money, For around 9k i could have a bored stroked L28(3.1) with a race ported head make about 100hp per litre at motor

so would make as much or more then a RB30 with ITBs. Rego first tho and worry about motors later.

subscribed... love it!soooo, when your done with this one you'll build me one right?

Hahaha its just finding a good coupe to start with is hard

Having looked at a few other cars im hoping to fit 16*8.5 -6 and 16*9.5-19 R type Watanabe's when the car is complete.

Im hoping to fit 16*8.5 -6(maybe 16*8 +0) and 16*9.5-19 R type Watanabe's when the car is complete. Ben from otomoto has 17*8.5 +0 and 17*9.5 -19 with a 25mm spacer on the back of his C110.

But not sure i have as much space as he has, so worried about ordering 2800 dollars worth of rims that will not fit lol.

I had a few mates drop over on the frist weekend i got it back and we got stuck in.

We added some rubber behind the flares to try stop them from cutting into the paint.
