aww i was waiting before goin all the way to the end thinking it would be done....
i have a 4 over here in Oki and i am kinda thinking of doin the same thing i owe nothin on the car and thought about sendin it back in parts for the conversion or just send everything and rebuild idk got a few more years out here soo i have time.

let me know about parts i might be able to hook you up let me know what your looking for an i can see if i can make it happen

 

cool i have a few friends in osaka, I imported a 4 RS from there for a customer over here but it got stolen a few months later and never found, she was a 1998 aswell which was ultra rare as they finished in 1997 i also got imported a 6 RS from there, you shouil et to the auctions and pick up a bargain before you come home and send it over in parts

 

@Robert, I will def. be contacting you about some parts.

Now moving on to my latest work. 4 hours, 2 stripped bolts, and 1 broken tie-rod later:

 

looked at this thread a long time ago when it was fresh...been a while and i decided to check up on it....lookin good!

 

5-lug swap is DONE! I also found a Mitsu diamond for my grille.







Up next, an alignment then the rear window gets installed. Also I'll be working on a front crash bar, it'll make the front bumper sit properly.

 

You seriously need a new exhaust. That downward angle and chode tip look terrible.

 

+1,000,000

 

Project is coming along nice, side skirts and rear flares will bring it to life. have you decided on a colour or are you keeping it black?

 

I'm going to spray the new panels black, and when everything with the car is said and done, a full respray with Pyrenees Black (TME color). I thought about Passion Red too, to make the car more authentic looking. I still have a lot of time to decide though.

@ exhaust discussion, it's a POS and I know it, bought it like that. No plans to change until I get an AWD gas tank (need routing room).

 

Awesome! Can't wait to see the finish work piece.

 

just read through everything. You sir, are a BOSS. You have talent and dedication beyond your years. Car looks awesome. Keep up the amazing work, and the updates! Cheers to you!

 

I have sourced you some genuine makinen rims but the guy is looking for 500 euro for them and that excludes postage, i'll keep looking for you and hopefully find a set for thess than that, it's too expensive imo.

 

Thanks for looking around for me, but that is pretty far out of my price range right now. Hopefully some cheaper wheels will show up.

 

looking good man

 

by cheaper wheels do you mean replicas or a genuine set? i have sourced a second set from a makinen which i imported for a friend he's haggling with me but i don't know what you are willing to pay so that makes it hard for me to haggle. thats two sets i've found in a week.
