I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Re: 180SX Kouki build!
hehe 
Well a few updates, I bought fiberglass fenders to replace my fucked up OEM ones:
Almost installed:
They took way too much to actually fit right, and when I got them as best as I could, they still had shitty lines. I want perfect body lines on this car, so I ended up selling them and going back to OEM metal.
Got a new exhaust, I didn't want to rape my Nismo one any longer.
Finally got rid of my shitty Ksport coils and got some decent replacements.. F2 T2's
Spaceship:
And my favorite upgrade, 180SX floor mats! Been looking for a complete set for a while.
Thats it so far!

Re: 180SX Kouki build!
Thanks man
I really wanted them to work, but that's what I get for cheaping out on fenders. I just couldn't justify 500$ for some Origin fiberglass fenders

I'm glad you went back to oe metal, I don't care for that style of vented fender.Highway-Star wrote:Thanks man

What plans do you have for aftermarket styling?

I like that style if its pulled off well, I thought my car could, but eh, when in doubt go back to OE!
Not many aftermarket plans, I may get a vented hood in the future, but that's about it.

All metal koguchi clone?
Typical hot rod louvers don't look good on the 180.
All metal KP clone with factory heat/sound shielding would be very cool.
Otherwise check out the hood vent on the LeMans Supras.

All metal koguchi ftw! I would like to get a vented hood in the future, but that's for later haha.
Here's a few updates, not much has happened to the car because my life has become pretty hectic. I got pre-approved for a house, found the one me and the lady want, offered on it, got accepted...then she left me. Yay? So, after 4 years of being together, she randomly decides to pack up and leave. Probably got scared, I don't know. But I'm still going after the house and should be in it within the next month or so.
As far as the car, the F2's didn't go anywhere near as low as I wanted them too. So, I got to adjusting them as best I could and crankin in the camber. Here's the before...ewww:
Wheel gap, hardly any camber, and bleh.
After:
No wheel gap, lots more camber, much better
We got my buddies car going and out of my garage finally, here's two crappy pics of that along with our buddies zenki S14
Ordered a bunch of parts for the KA-T also. Here's the first thing to show up:
I'll update more when I get more stuff in!

Re: 180SX Kouki build!
I think the fenders would have went well with the agressive kitting on the car, too bad they didnt work out
