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 couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must me missing something? 
    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
    • Echo the awesome sentiment 👍 Definitely a car worth saving. Looking forward to seeing updates as well.
