earlyvws Posted July 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Oh I've been busy. I have had a lot of interrupted time working on projects. My wife has been traveling a lot lately. Since March she has been to the following all 10 days or more each trip. London/ New York/ Toronto/ Tokyo/ Australia That's about 60 days I've had no progress or very little. The skyline has gone a few places. It was at HIN and maybe a small show in Sep in San Jose Japan Town. Right now there is a little bit of an issue. There seems to be a lack of power in 1st 2nd & 3rd. But 4th was good until the last drive then 4th srarted to drag. It feels like I'm pulling an anchor in 4th gear and every shift it seems like the RPM's drop way down and has difficulty climbing back up. I was in LA all last week and this all happened the day before I let so I havnt had time to look into this. But it seems as if I need to get the FJ20 moving along and get the OG stuff swapped out before they are paper weights. 1 Quote Link to comment

mattyhacks71 Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Would you just cut the fenders already "...so many mid-trim Hakos cut into Shinichiro Sakurai‘s “surf line” in the name of flares, but we love that this one was preserved. There’s no need to go wider with a shorter, 4-cylinder nose anyway, and its Techno Phantoms a stylish departure from the typical Watanabes." http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/2015/09/24/2015-japanese-classic-car-show-part-01-its-jdm-yo/ 4 Quote Link to comment

Rhino13 Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 That car is way too nice to get the fenders cut. And obviously this is opinion, but I think these cars look so much better without flares. Great looking car! 2 Quote Link to comment
