I love this thing man. Keep up the awesomeness! Its amazing how much a wheel change changes the look lol
Aaperi
Yeah. Need to order new bolts for Oz's. Also I'll test polish the lips. Let's see how it looks.
Polished lips and bolts with basic silver centers. It could work...

Maybe next pics are with mesh's wink.gif

Sorry about lack od updates that I promised.
Vw is just sitting with blanket over it.

I've been working with my drift, track day & touge toy.
Need Magic Aero Type X front bumber, Type X wing, rear diffuser, rear end drop and and and.
Basicly chassis is number one priority with this thing.
But, slowly it's going to get that Mind Control-style that I want wink.gif

It has Aaperi's Special knuckles, roll center fixes, adjustable arms and so on.
Engine is shitty 300hp euro-CA18DET. For now....

Need moar black-on-black-on-black!

Aaperi
Still alive. Slowly gathered motivation and parts.

Felgenfuchs.de delivered new Radinox lips and Gold plated bolts.
They fit quite nice.
Tires arrived too. 185/45-15 & 195/45-15 (not fitted yet)

Front wheels, need to be modified.

+5 mm to offset would be perfect. Maybe...
Rear is 1mm from fender :







Nissan has been main object, untill now.
Now it's beautiful rattle can flat black, has nismo 2-way diff, two bucket seats with harnesses and just today, I got EBC Turbogroove discs and yellowstuff pads, to be fitted with R32 GT-R 4 and 2 pot saddles.
Old pic. Now it's -17 degrees and 15cm snow(usually this time of year, it's 1 meter or more).

wow. both cars are coming along. radinox lips???? big muney baller
Louis
cool.gif
Aaperi
^^ Actually they weren't as expencive as I thought.
Well, four lips, 120 bolts and nuts, 805€ shipped, is expencive,
but there were 224€ difference between Aluminium and Radinox lips, so I thought "well, I'm going bankrupt with these projects anyway".
And with Radinox theres no need for constant polishing wink.gif
Aaperi
1000km driven at this point.
Needed change few worn out bolts laugh.gif
Had a Banana
Won "Top 5 Best Aircooled" at Bug in Finn 2014.






Nissan pretty much done. Just waiting for trackdays.
Needed to do "semi-semi-tube-frontend" due the rust fixing..



Next, Suzuki T250 Caferacer build

Saw this on my feed this morning!

Aaperi
Yeah.
That supriced me! Also Lowered lifestyle, Rubbed and many other "socialmedia-stance-societys" shared pics of my car.
Especially after our CDLC.CO (Creme De La Creme Community) season ender meet at Tuulos.
600km trip once again.

Nice to get noticed after hard work. Although, In my own opinion, my car is pile of..you know.
Maybe because, I now all the little faults, scraches, short cuts, etc.etc.
But, everyone seems to love it. And, I love it too.

CDLC.CO made feature about this car on their blog. Here -> Click
Thanks Antti Eskeli aka Gleasygrapy for pics. Gleasygraphy @FlickR

Started planning summer 2015.
Having thoughts doing, 1.5week trip to Sweden.
Visiting Bug Run 2015 @ Mantorp and week after that Gatebil 2015 @Mantorp wink.gif

Before that, I definitely need to get another Viair 480c compressor, clean up trunk setup (compressors, tank, valves, etc), replace floor matts and trunk linings, and and and.
harry
wow. so good!
mk3f.t.w.
once again. car looks great as always. i shared a picture of it on the SB facebook page wink.gif
Louis
love it
Aaperi
Thanks guys!

About month ago, I got new daily from Japan.
HC33 Laurel, RB20DET w/manual, Nismo clutch+ Diff, Silk Road coils, beige leather interior etc.
Blew engine after 30minutes of driving.... I guess fuelpump were giving out -> lean afr -> knock -> This and This (Thankfully I still have my trusted "winter-beater")
Now in process, getting funds for forged internals, bigger injectors (E85 <3), Z32 ecu with Nistune. RB25 turbo I already have tongue.gif


I'm shooting for "that 2001-style", so first thing was to get proper 15" mesh wheels.
"OZ Vegas for everything" went by my head, so bought 4x108 7x15" 3-piece Vegas from friend. They were cheap.
Now just need to, redrill new bolt pattern (death-pattern as we call 4x108 here in finland) to hubs and get 3" & 3.5" radinox lips.
Heres test fitting with 2.5" lips. (sorry for phone pics. Had to sell my Canon 5D mkII to fund this stupid car)




Also, need to source R32 4door Type-M sideskirts and D-Max/R32/something roof spoiler.
