Rustbucket Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Did what I could for smoothing out those panels, too. Quote Link to comment
Rustbucket Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 My friends wheels arrived on the same sea can that my Wat's did. These are for his KP61 Starlet. 13x8J -25, and 13x7.5J -25 - they make my 15's look huge, haha. Quote Link to comment
Rustbucket Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Another piece to the fuel puzzle. Got my rear wing on, also. Quote Link to comment
Rustbucket Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Bought these to make the 9.5J's 10mm more aggressive. Pressed out the old shit in preparation for the new. Quote Link to comment

Rustbucket Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Finally, they're all here. These were hidden behind a bush at my house when I got home. Awesome. Quote Link to comment
jalen Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 POST PICS OF THE TIRES ON THE WHEELS.....FAWK IT POST PICS OF THE WHEELS ON THE CAR!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
Rustbucket Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Trust, dog. If all goes well on Thursday, the car will be set on the ground for the first time in 16 months. If not, then I'll have to wait another week for two more tires. *Edit* Caved in to my own stress-case of a mind. Instead of dealing with the fuckery of blowing on a stretch like that, I've decided to get the 205/50's put on the 9.5J's tomorrow, and I've ordered another two tires. Waiting on the BFG G-Forces to arrive to put on the 10J's. 215/50's, to make it a little less aggressive, and not nearly as tough a sidewall as the Star Specs. Kind of bummed to not have those super awesome tires in the back, but I'll get over it... Maybe. :( Quote Link to comment
Rustbucket Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Okay, I got some cool shit done/ purchased today. Quote Link to comment
Rustbucket Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Picked up my BOV from a friends shop. Got the last couplers I needed for my turbo inlet. And, picked up everything I was lacking for my fuel system. Except, returning that stainless line for the black Kevlar-braided line, as there was a mix-up. Rear tires should come in early next week. WHICH MEANS I CAN FINALLY PUT MY CAR ON THE GROUND! :D Quote Link to comment
Rustbucket Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I'm waiting on studs, and rear tires. Be patient! Quote Link to comment
ComicArtist Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Fuck it, give me the Star Specs. I'll run them on my 15x10's Quote Link to comment
Rustbucket Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Fuck it, give me the Star Specs. I'll run them on my 15x10's Haha, the sidewalls were too stiff to let themselves be blown on MY 15x10J's! That's why I put the 205/50 Star Specs on the 9.5J's. $200 plus shipping and the 195/50's are yours, brother! Quote Link to comment
Rustbucket Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 This is Liams 1JZ-powered A31 Cefiro - he's the other half of Dorimoto/ Odd Couple. We've built our cars in tandem this winter, from two different cities. Kit's going in for paint this weekend, and all he has left to do is re-install the dash. Shit is mind-blowing in real life, and yes - this IS the permanent ride height. 1 Quote Link to comment
Rustbucket Posted March 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Most of you will skip these next few pictures and skip to the bottom. I would, anyways. Aaron dropped off the shifter plate spacer he milled for me. Fucking awesome - shifter is sosososo good now! Seat's all bolted in where it needs to be. If you crouch down it looks hilarious.

Rustbucket Posted March 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Made my turbo inlet this evening. Incredibly conducive for full frontal cold air. Quote Link to comment

Rustbucket Posted March 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 :thumbup: Haha, I was grinnin' like that last night. There will be no skipping ..there is far to much to see... ...Never posted because ( like now ) i have no useful info other than to say i like what your doing.. That's more useful than you think. As much as I'm building this car around my own personal tastes and likes, it feels great to know that people are in to what I'm building. Thank-you! :) Quote Link to comment
JZ33 Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 would you mind sharing where you purchased your wheels from? Your Z is badass and I want to see it on the ground NOW! Quote Link to comment
Rustbucket Posted March 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 would you mind sharing where you purchased your wheels from? Your Z is badass and I want to see it on the ground NOW! Thanks a lot, dude! As for the wheels; I bought those directly from Watanabe RS in Japan. It was about a 5 month process for me to get those wheels - from my initial inquiry, until they finally arrived at my door. Quote Link to comment
