    Default Third Strike's 180sx build

    Mornin' yall'!

    I recently joined the forum because i heard its a nice community do i would like to post my car up,
    first off ill introduce myself, my name's luke and this is my 180sx build!

    This all started off about 2 and a bit years ago when i finall done something about getting a 180, I went and got myself pre approval for a loan then after i couldn't find a 180 right for me, the pre approval fell through then i had to save when i hit enough money and this 180 shell popped upI thought it was the ultimate oppourtunity to start something big.
    My initial goal was to make a track car that i would register so i can drive it on a time to time basis where im at in this slow apprentice wage driven build is i just had it registered and its still stock and have a s*** load more to do to it.
    If this post is enjoyed by you leave me a reply and ill continue to provide everyone with updates on how all is going
    so far i had put alot into a bare shell such as:

    Re-conditioned the steering rack
    bought a half cut with a redtop sr20
    r32 gtr seats
    aftermarket aero mirrors
    BC gold coilovers
    tomei poncams
    gktech suspension arms
    Widebody (25mm up front 30mm at rear)
    excedy heavy duty clutch
    tomei ECU (found in shell when purchased)

    still more to go its small but enough for the time being it had a respray i did myself at work its a gm European colour called rootbeer,
    things im still waiting on to buy:

    Upgraded turbo
    550cc injectors
    fuel rail
    front mount intercooler
    kaaz 2way
    a set of Rota Grid R's
    fuel reg
    tomei valve springs

    and some lil fiddly bits i could go on forever about now some snaps of the kart enjoy


    The day i bought it home




    And the work began.


    After the engine drop.


    about 7 months ago after the move.


    And something a little more recent.



    Its been fun so far and im going to still be enjoying it for the remainder of the build! hope you enjoyed my story
