Nice modifications, I am a fan. I really like the rear vent and really like the front clam. If it wasn't so expensive to get to here in Aus, I'd get one for sure. I considered those wheel vents but I want "external" vents rather than ones that go down. I like the direction of you changes though, keep it up

I used to have a drift race car I was building when I was younger. This was around .. 2006. I was mocking up ideas and I was going to print a big rainbow spiral (despite how it sounds, it looked awesome) and wrap the car, and have fluro wheels etc. I posted on a forum and all I got was flamage. 5-8 years later now, that kinda stuff is all the rage. Do whatever you want with your car man, it's your car. If you like it, that's all that matters.

Oh hey, by the way. R888's, happy? Had them on my Evo's before and they were decent. Are the medium compounds good too for the car? (I see you have GG's)

mirror feet and mounting supports all done... now have electric adjustment, heated, powerfold and indicator... possibly a puddle light too if I wanted.

just busy making a support to hold the gas lifts to be glassed into place on both sides of the front clip, then need to make up a few stainless or ally rings to make the headlamp mounts and its off to paint...

laugh just spoke to the guy at the body shop and he was expecting the front end to paint a few months ago...
due to hospital and work I just havent had tme to finish it off...I had started to make up mounts for 2 gas dampers to support the front clip, they just need glassing in place really so I might get them done this week and put it in fr paint whilst I am in hospital for a couple of weeks next month.
Although I would like to keep everything I still think the car will end up beig up for sale once I have the front end painted .
3 kids and a wife just dont fit in a GTR,which some times is a bonus, but when I have so little time spare I think I should really change the car I have both the Silver Ls car and the Blower GT2 racer for some thing more usuable for family outings, possibly a vintage roller or maybe a Bullnose trans am.. or both..

Come on. It is a petrol head's duty to have a few toys of different types.

Keep at least one Ultima and get something bigger to use when the family go out.

I think its a middle aged thing.. keep drifting back to when I was 17 with my first trans am ... doing doughnuts in the school tennis courts with 4 mates in the car, great fun when your 17/18 and everyone else is driving mk1 cavaliers and fiestas....

Bound to be a classic race series it can run in eventually so may be a good investment if you hang on to it for a while.

its a fair bit wider than a standard ultima...clearance in there is about 1 inch each side... and 1 inch total to get through the door..
had it out a few times and did a bit of work tidying her up etc had it running etc,but due to building work and numerous hospital visits it keeps ending up back in storage.

Yes Paul, I am sure you are right it will only appreciate in value as long as it isnt let to go unloved as it was previously..uncleaned and covered in crap.
I almost sold it to a guy in Spain a while ago but keep getting that voice in my head telling me I will regret selling it once the building work and hospital time is finished.....

well after a full day and a half in hospital pumped full of morphene I am back home and just about to fill up on painkillers..... no bloody drink for a week at least though...grrr.


JAGAL, you do know that the Blower car is full GT spec and not a road car?
I have a couple of people wanting to buy or deal for the LS1 car and I am now just seriously considering just selling up, but obviously its the first person to come up with the cash who will get them.
