Awesome car. Clean and no fuss but looks the good. I like the detail in the engine bay. What's the finish on the engine cover and cooler pipes? It's not just matt black with with a grain to it.

Paul2x,
Great to see that U have discarted yr rear seats.
I folded my rear seat down and used a pair of red larguage stripe to hold the rear seat back piece down for good, I choose red stripe as I have installed a pair of red Recaros for the front.
I would have love to discart the rear seats if not for fear that our local authorities might give me problems for not installing them if and when I do get pull over on the road.

Like the new wheels. Enkei or Volk?

Thanks for the comments Guys,
Not the Volks , they are Enkei RPF1's
Front: 17x9
Rear : 17x9.5
right now in street trim (street tires) , b/c I have my R-comp' tires on another set of wheels and the R-comps won't clear until my new front fenders come in.
Had to rock the aggressive offset up front to get the "concave" face up front, but it's only way to run them IMO. =)
Running 255/35/17 Nitto NT01's Front and Rear, mabye 265 in the Rear if I can.
I wanted the same set-up "MCR" uses on their shop S15.
I contacted them , then made a few changes to their set-up and their you have it. =). :thumbs:
oh yea the Enkei's really rock man they look the part alright!!

Front : 16.2 lbs
Rear : 16.5 lbs
Thanks again for the kind words.

Do you know the sizes and offsets of the MCR wheels?
They sit perfect IMO - Although are running a fair bit of camber i imagine.

Yes i do.
They run 17x9.5 +38 front and rear
with a 20mm front spacer and 25mm over fender up front
with 255's on all 4 corners.
This is the exact set-up I did but, I'm not a big fan of running such a large spacer. Also MCR uses Tein racing damper w/ remote resovior so the damper body itself is narrower than a conventional style damper thus giving them more inner clearance.
I tried the 9.5 +38 up front with an even larger 25mm spacer (20mm won't work w/ regular damper) with my Ohlins dampers and had only 1-2mm of clearance from the wheel to the damper...which i didn't like
Thats why I did the 9 up front b/c a 17x9 +22 still gives you the Nice looking "Concave" face up front and with a 15mm spacer comes out only 1mm less than the 9.5 and gives me much more clearance on the inside by the damper. A better fit IMO. and a lighter wheel
And with my 20mm fenders it fits perfectly flush just like the MCR car and u can still run 255's on all 4 tires
Only down side, is MCR's set-up u can rotate wheels front to back if needed....but i got 2 sets so i'm good :thumbs:
Hope that helps ya out...
I'll post some new pic's as soon as i get my fenders and new rubber on

Paul,
Beautiful car. Very nicely done. You are right, these do make a wonderful track car, but I have to ask, seeing as how you are in California, how did you pull it off to make a street car of it. I debated doing this, but did not see a way, unless I called it a 98 200SX to get in registered on the road here. Too late for me to do it now with what has been done to my car but I was just curious. If there is a way, I am going to be looking for another one to drive on the street and selling the Land Cruiser.
What do you think of the Ohlins coilovers. I am about 90% towards doing a full JIC setup next week. The Tein Flex I have installed now along with the stock suspension components are giving me too much roll.

Neo' ,
Thanks for the complement as far as the dampers go, I love the Ohlins, Mine were actually set-up by Garage Saurus Japan w/ their own spring rates and valving.
JIC's are nice too, while they last. My last set of JIC's lasted 6 months before the seals blew on 3 of the 4 dampers on one of my other cars, and I know others who have had this same problem so until they work that out i'd stay away. But for the 6 months that they did last they were GREAT. Also depends on what your doing w/ the car and how u drive.
I have my Ohlins set-up quite soft in terms of high performace dampers but for what i do w/ the car it's perfect, so mainly comes down to what's your budget, what your plans are for the car , and what kind of ride u like.
All good brands, but i'm a strong belever that u get what u pay for.
In terms of a another 15' for your street car, that's really up to u. Their are a handfull of people now that i've heard are bringing cars in but might be more of a headach than it's worth w/ CA emissions and what not, your call really.
Good luck
I even had some places tell me they wouldn't do the "Texture" only the "wrinkel" b/c it's a harder process.
look around i'm sure you'll find someone. :thumbs:
Topper! :wave: u going to join the Enkei club..LOL
sure sound's like it

I'm sure u can, Most powder coating places have "Wrinkel black" and "Texture black" Mine is more like "Texture black"

How durable is the powder coating considering the heat produced? I don't want to do it if it will be something that will look crap after a couple months.
