Got a lil bit done today and yesterday. Whilst I saving some cash I have moved on to the chassis. Decided to strip the doors down and give them a diet, thanks to Mr Grinder. Couldn't be bothered paying a shit load of cash at the moment for Carbon Fibre doors, so I'll do the next best thing. Cut the shit out of them and use Lexan Windows, saved a fair bit of weight out of them already just have to cut the impact beam out and a bit more trim and tidy it up. When I finished with them they will probably be a couple a KG's heavier then the R32's Carbon doors.

Also I am gonna contact the guys that make the carbon fibre roof skins and carbon fibre rear hatch and get that ball rolling on that. Get rid of the sunroof its too heavy, and with the roof skin missing will make putting the cage in a hell of a lot easier. May even get a load of Dry Ice once the inside is clean and smash out the sound deadening and get it prepped for raging caging.

Sean, I went into Toyota today, was passed into some dude named Ben. After having a chat to him, I realised that he knew nothing about the car and had very little interest in selling me one.

Kept going in about catching him in the middle of this 3 day sale, and it was so busy. I looked around, was 2 customers in the shop.

Said I was also interested in a FJ, said they had run out of pamphlets, and didn't even take me to see one.

I made it clear I had the funds, wasn't kicking tyres.

Next time I should just ask for you, lol.

This guy was useless

Most supercars don't have massive GT Wings and all them supercars with that design were made in the 80's and 90's back when aerodynamics was make believe like the Yeti, I need air to hit the wing not go under it.

That hatch for the 180 would create to much turbulence for a rear wing. Would create a low pressure point behind the window.

Dont see it being an Aero benefit.

ehhhh cant wait to get home from work. Monday morning can not come quick enough

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
