i read up on em ages ago (bout 2 years ago) and it was something along the lines of no diffusers present in front of globes or something. have to check it again to make sure it still applies.

yeah i guess, I just don't like the way its so chunky between the globes, like its not smooth at all, its like 2 steps... more hacked together than anything else, not really there for style points.

trust me holdin it in your hands it looks good for all of 5 mins then you go... eugh.

a simple mod like opening up your headlights and just painting the reflector black (not the ones in the globes obviously) makes a world of difference.

like this... cost $5 for black acrylic paint.

Are there pics of these bad boys fitted to a car? How do you open the headlights?

not hard at all... exact same process as opening up your indicators, see my DIY guide on this thread.

haven't fitted it yet lol coz I've only done one, and then I destroyed it to make my prototype with added fibreglass and the High beam relocated... etc... it looks like a mangled mess now.

      HK Premier with plans for slight mods, but keeping clean and simple

      By Christof · Posted

      First time visitor and currently getting ready to start work on my HK Premier.  Its all stock, 186 with 3 on the tree.  The only mod i have right now is extractors.  I am hoping to get some guidance on slightly modifying the engine to bring a little more power. Just going for a nice, comfortable cruiser.  The car is very straight, however i have been out of the country for 20 years and its been gathering dust at a family farm.  Will be doing quite a bit of body work to cut out some small rust areas (frnt quarter panels and a few other small bits) and fix up the paint.  Will be redoing the interior (its currently black and the seats are in real need of recovering and respringing the driver side (its front bench seat).  The dash needs a little TLC, but no real damage.  As my heater has degraded I am considering fitting something after-market that will be both heater/AC (recommendations here are always welcome). Wanting something discrete that will allow me to use the same controls and not be obvious once inside the car.   For the engine, i have been told i could consider upgrading my cam (imagine i would need a new head as well) and putting a new carby (currently the original stromberg).  However not sure what is going to be the best route.  Would certainly welcome any comments/suggestions.  As  a final step I am looking at changing the wheels. Current hubcaps are in dire need of refurbishment or replacement (imagine its a bit like hens teeth).  Thinking of some clean/classic looking mags (7-inch should be more than enough - not going for a large change in look).  Welcome any comments/advice and of course any questions.

      I got the ARC M079 due to the space constraint.  Been running mint for the last 3 years.  Plazmaman also seems like a really solid choice but not used myself.    Hunt around for a better price but this is what I have - https://www.rhdjapan.com/arc-brazing-intercooler-smic-m079-bnr32.html

      Wanted to follow up on this. Did you end up getting the M073? Still deciding on what to get between nismo m073-79 and plazaman.
