The Aero is HELLA over rated imo i cant really see the plus of it bar the fact their worth stupid amounts of money. Wont be up for sale tho im afraid, well unless my CC actually melts >.<'

I got the lights from RHDjapan for a total of like £170 or so.

 

[slammedmind]

did you rob the bank while you were there by any chance , some nice goodies mate

 

[mint]

I wish, woulda made things easier >.< lol - Oh and Nicely, I have removed the tie wraps now you'll be happy to hear ^.^

Spoiler is now fitted along with my JDM arials which i thought would be mondo pimp ^-^'!

You can see here the OEM window visor's.

This turned up yesterday! Its pretty big like lol!

Wheels should be picked up today should be here fri/sat poss mon? Still awaiting coils they dont turn up until the 15th/16th roughly and its booked in on the 17th to get them fitted.

Random shot

Looks nice.

Spoiler fell off this morning, just aswell it was in my drive and not on the drive to work at 70mph on the dualer >.< lame duck says no!

 

[david]

Was it not stuck on rite or what.did it damage the paint?

Nah was ok, she's now bondo'd back on and sealed all round to be sure. Fitted the FMIC on Sat, was surprised to find a maza of boost leaks all through the system, the OEM BOV was still fitted and connected to the after market Blitz BOV too, to be honest the whole thing was pretty confusing...

Anyways, After removing a large amount of useless parts we got the sr20 down the bare esentials, and funnily enough she's running absolutly AMAZING!!!!! Perfect idle, No stalling, no shacking, boost right up to redline and a large increase in torque its mad! So impressed.. The the minus side tho, on the way into town that afternoon on a hot date (ahh yeah ) i got a flat.. damm 2inch Screw straight through my rear pax side tyre.. gutted >.<

My volks still aint turned up and just got word they wont be here until this coming firday, thus im running some mad tyte JDM steelie spacesaver on the back and the other rear is down to the wire line.. so i gotta go buy 2 new or used tyres for the rear to keep my going till friday (And before anyone asks) the reason i didnt buy tyre's before was because i was awaiting these volks with yoko's to arrive at my door before i went and bought other ones.

Oh well.. win some ya loose some, So been in touch with a mate of mine who is currently sourcin me some 16" second hand tyres just to get me to work and back. No sign of my Japan parts yet either which is a shame but oh wells. Just happy the car is running smooth, plus the bov sounds totally differant now.

 

[meddler]

awesome, good to hear you have it sorted out.

 

[mint]

oh and forgot to mention, on the initial test run of the FMIC i put on the full lock to find the wheel had damaged the washed bottle, thus resulting in fluid powering all over the road and Kei chan being stuck on the road.. my neighbours werent happy with me hehe but oh well.

 

[mint]

BOOOOMP

Well.. After buyin Slammed wheels i found the fronts wouldnt clear the calipers, so i bought spacers and still no luck, Ended up having to grind them down a touch..

She gets slammed next week and i got a clutch to get fitted too.

 

[mint]

lol

 

[sushiming]

nice wheels mint :thumbs:

 

[Pazz]

Looks good! What size spacers did you try? You should of bought some hub-centric proper jobby's.

 

[slammedmind]

looking savage man! I still cant understand why they didnt clear tho?

 

[mint]

i bought some 3mm and 5mm spacers, the i put the 5's on.

I think the reason is that im running OEM brakes, and the Nissan calipers are fat, like real wide, so with you having an upgraed set of brakes It would fit. Although the diameter and height is bigger they will be thinner calipers, thus you wouldnt have needed them i would think.

Cheers so much tho dude, Top bloke!!
Wheels are mint!!

 

[luckyshot66]

Mint we got SOOOOO getto DIY on your calipers heheh

 

[Topper]

Cant see the pics, but uprated calipers would be bigger surely? I know my Brembos are bigger than the stock S15 calipers.

Yeah i think its the thickness thats the issue, and i think the endless ones would be thinner (Thats what Slammed's running) so may need to invest.

Anyways. Had the first of 2 shows this weekend, was an amazing weekend!!! Had the only s15 there and it gathered alot of attention.. for the right reasons or not im not sure hehe nah i had like 40 people come up and ask me what it was.. chick at the end said to me "What is it? ... Im guessing its pretty common then " lol.

I only have a few snaps off my mate's camera for now ..

the Mario Shell is now off only had it on for a laugh! and my Coilovers didnt arrive in time gutted..

In turn i have found from this trip i need to fix and replace alot of parts, i.e. clutch (fast!) brakes, fan belt, tail light LED's are pretty broken >,<' and a few other little bits that are niggling me.. but, we'll get there! :thumbs:

Hey Mint, Looking soo much sweeter than when I last checked it out, see you finally got a set of rear lights, should have got them at neweraparts.com though, they are only £150 a set...

Loving those wheels, where did you get the bolts? Its all I pretty much need to finish the exterior of mine, and those are exactly the right colour!

Keep up the good work! :thumbs:
