LuPix's Track & Drift Project

I like everything but the Rotas....

I love the rotas!! I want Rota GTR's on mine

lol some people still debate the 'quality' and yes I know every Google image search brings back 'broken' Rotas but hey, if it's good enough for the top drift outfits in the UK then it's good enough for me.

I tend to think Rotas break or fall apart when someone's hit them against something hard and immovable and in those cases, most wheels will fail

Which style do you have in mind... think GTR's and Grid's rule the Nissan S body world lol

Ok I've stuck recent carbon vinyl wrap mods in other threads but will consolidate everything on here lol

Starting with the centre console and gear surround which Lex @ Ace Image UK kindly wrapped for me...

Was very impressed with the material that these guys used so I bought some for myself hehe

Door handle trims were next...

Then blanked off stock boost gauge...

 

[LuPix_S15]

Ordered an A3 sheet of wet-lay genuine CF from CarbonMods.co.uk so set to work on my own version of a heatshield for the air induction filter...

Most recent update is that I wrapped the door sills...

And here's the most recent pic of Silvia taken at meet on the weekend just gone

Still waiting to get the rear +50mm wide fenders onto the car!!

Looking very very nice matey. Impressed with the job you done on the heatshield.

 

[Benne]

wondering that you´re still going with stock brakes...

No probs with them on track?

 

[LuPix_S15]

Cheers Gav - yeah pretty chuffed with the heatshield... saved me loads of pennies anyways lol


Benne - still on stock calipers and discs but using Ferodo DS2500 pads for occasional track/drift days. These cope fine but then again, I've not been driving 100% all out for more than 20 mins at a time when doing track days etc. Also performance is not far from stock but guess if/when I get over 350 bhp I'll be looking to upgrade the whole system!!

I do like that rear end sir! :rotfl:

Have you got anymore angles of that bgw?

 

[LuPix_S15]

Cheers mate


Just shot some new pics last night with Kelli so will upload them very soon!!

 

[JaseYpk]

beautiful car mate, can see so much work has gone into this. really good job with it all!
looks much better clean without the decals too

 

[LuPix_S15]

Cheers mate - yeah I'm lovin' her without the decals


I have summat in mind (decals wise) but it's very tasteful, well known and subtle... lets just say it suits Nissans!!

 

[JaseYpk]

mmmm sounds good!
theres a really nice R33 GTR just down the road from me with a nice Nismo decal down side of the bonnet. looks really smart! along with the usual 'look at me i've got a GTR' stickers all over it haha

 

[LuPix_S15]

haha GTR owners always need to make sure they're seen as the 'elite' lol *rolls eyes*


Yeah can't wait to get this subtle decal sorted

 

[s15andy.s]

wow that looks unreal in and out..

Bout time you went wide body dude lol:thumbs:

Where did you get the carbon wrap from as I need some to cover my ducktail, is it waterproof??

 

[LuPix_S15]

Cheers guys


Rik - I got my wrap from Ace Image UK (should come up on Google search). Costs around £40 for smallest sheet they sell. Yeah deffo should be waterproof - I'd check but it seems very durable and hardwearing!!
