New Guy from Columbus, Ohio, USA

[BattleReady]

Hello all,

 

My name is Ethan and I am from Columbus, Ohio, USA. I have a 1991 BNR32 that I purchased 2 weeks ago, and I absolutely love it.  Car has 100k km/ 60k mi , is the KH2 Gunmetal Grey, and has some mild mods- Blitz Pods, Blitz BOV, 5Zigen catback, tein coilovers, some fancy strut tower bars, turbo timer, track timer, projector headlamps, n1 grill and aluminum hood, and BNR34 wheels.

I am hoping to upgrade the turbos, install an EBC, get a bigger fuel pump and injectors, and turbo back piping. I am very new to this platform, so I am here for advice and information. 

A little about me, I am a husband and father of two. For work I am an IT consultant, hobbies include guns, video games, and car things. I also own a 1978 Datsun 280z with a L28ET and  a 1991 Mazda Miata with a Ford 302 EFI. I suck at intros, if you have questions, don't be shy.

Nice car, but holy shit show me the MX-5 with the 302!

 

Also, welcome!

Welcome! Firstly I suggest retrofitting your headlights with LHD HID projectors. The stock ones are shit house and added bonus is of course LHD cut off.

 

Also, pictures of the Z and MX5

I’ll dig some pictures up. It’s a slow moving project. 

Electronic Fuel injected 302, flat top pistons, GT Cam, GT40p heads, Trick Flow upper and lower intake manifolds, BIG billet throttle body, mustang GT ecu, MSD bits, Mustang GT T5, 8.8 IRS LSD rear end out of an SVT Cobra Terminator. 15x9 and 15x10 diamond racing wheels, low pro pop up projector headlights. Better suspension, brakes, and roll bar to come.

I’ll have to look into the LHD HIDs, the headlights hadn’t crossed my mind yet. Have a link? Honestly, I’d love some flash modern looking ones, but it seems like they all require an imagination and taking apart factory ones. I would prefer just bolting in. It also surprises me that no one makes a single unit, as opposed to the headlight/ turn signal two peice. A lot of the cars sold here in the States in the 80s and 90s have aftermarket one peice options available.

Not enough numbers for aftermarket to make headlights for the R32.

Buy these (you can sub out the bulb for cheaper Osram/Philips if you like a more halogen-like colour):

Have a read through this as a guide (it's pretty easy, bake, disassemble, remove halogen projector, install HID projector with bracket, aim, assemble and bake)

I think those may be the ones I skimmed through before. I’ll have to take a look. Thanks!

Nice! I'm digging everything except the guns.

I'm looking forward to build threads for each of your cars!!! ?

I don't know....it may just be me.....but this almost sounded like you were from Utah, or the Appalachians, or perhaps one of the cults.

But welcome anyway!

[BattleReady]

LOL fair point, I will add the comma next time.

 

Also, I forgot about this being an Australian forum and you guys are gun free ish. 

[niZmO_Man]

Funnily enough

 

So there should be LHD version soon (I'm assuming those are Chinese made, so keep an eye out on alibaba)
