I'll throw em on now. I can't decide if I want to sell the cups yet. I really like them, and they are rare as fuck/period correct. Might use them for track wheels as they are hella light, but I also really need a recaro speed/srd seat. Ahh decisions. If only I could just have more money I wouldn't have to make them.

And get fat so you do't need a tight fitting seat. Bad suggestion? As an added bonus, fat people generally sweat a lot. Everyones experienced leather seats on a hot summer day while wearing shorts :p Sticky as F^&%

Hmm, reminds me of my build that I finished a couple of weeks ago.
You'll love the Konis. Just remember that the rears can't be adjusted in car so you may want to consider adjusting them before installing them. Set it and forget it, so to speak.

Nope i didn't forget haha. At this point it all depends what kind of deals Ford puts on the remaining 2014's this summer. If they're incredible, I won't install the stuff i bought on my V6, i'll install on the GT when i buy it and have a great suspension upgrade day one! If the deals are meh i'll just install it and keep my car as a great daily, and look into a weekend in the next year or two.

I dunno man. I spent a week with. '13 GT full track pack with modified suspension, and I'd never give up my focus st for it. The mustang owner agreed whole heartedly, as well as his m3 autoxing friend who drove it as well.
Before you jump into another automatic mustang ( :p ) maybe try some different chassis first to make sure you really TRULY are in love with the mustang

If it can't breath it'll be trapping moisture which will cause a lot more damage than some dirt on your hood. If you're worried about stuff dripping on the hood just pin the sheeting to the edge of the roof so it just hangs in front of the car.

Rubber, Poly, stainless braids, steering components, brake parts, and decided to try STAGG struts since they are most likely temporary. Seem to have good reviews on BMW and Mustang forums so i thought i'd try them out for the Datsun fans… Oh and a bad ass tie dye VW shirt. Top it off with a box/receipt which reeked of marijuana. Ditched the box, but the receipt and each individual box around the parts reeked too. Apparently it was pretty strong because we got the full search at the border haha. "We pulled you in because we suspected narcotics in your vehicle." Haha Oh dear.
The Datsun specialty store, who will remain unnamed will be getting an email shortly to make them aware of the situation. Haha. All worked out ok, and the GF made it to her shift within second to spare.

Tirerack and some amazon.com vendors offer free shipping on rotors to the states. Rockauto makes you pay.
EDIT: Tirerack is free > $50, which is pretty good as most places is free > $150.

lol noob. no one takes a motor up a flight of stairs. the best way is to remove a window and use a crane to drop it in to your living room. :concentrate:

The part that matters is the VIN on the block.. the block itself is not that heavy or big if stripped.. You can probably sell the rest (cam etc) off.

Finally got another front lip to replace my cracked OEM one. This one is a bit more aggressive, and I also plan on going lower later (with coils), so I should start stocking up. That way there's no downtime when I inevitably crack them :haha:

Nothing a little custom plumbing can't fix. Regardless, I don't think it's a big deal. I'm still using my NA prop valve and it feels the same as it did before which means that it still locks up the fronts early. I wouldn't bother with an OEM prop valve. If you are going to swap it out, get a proper adjustable one from summit/jegs, etc...

GS400:
Bought SG's old Teins. Waiting for Summer.
At an impasse with the MR2.
Not sure if I want to do a full winter build, orrrrr... keep it as is and just do power. Probably wheels.
I'm on Summer #2 with this car, and it's nearly over. I've been way more concentrated on just driving it than modifying/upgrading it, apart from the little things I did here and there.
I need a hoon-car, or a car that looks like I'm hooning. I'm talking widebody/big wing track car for the street kinda bullshit. I need rice, and I need to do it before I look too old to pull off a boy racer car.
I Don't know. Sometimes I want to sell the car, but I know some kid is going to crash it, or ruin it. The only reason I would sell it, is if I needed the space for a Supra/NSX/Corvette. And even then, I'd only sell it to some old guy who had one new back in 91, and wanted one again. Or someone who has one, and won't ruin this one.
Orr I get another S-Chassis and ruin a Nissan nobody actually cares about.
You might ask: What spurred on this feeling? I drove the GS400 in the rain with Traction control off today. I missed hooning in a RWD boat. One handed steering input like a sir, with the foot down. Spraying rain and tiny pebbles at the unfortunate souls waiting for the bus. Never lift.
I should probably just get an X100 Mark II and be happy.
Or an Aristo + R154 to match my GS400.

like everyone above stated, if you havent installed them yet, return them. HPS honestly are barely above stock pads, i bet you some stock pads are better. HP+ are great for the track but really dusty, i dont even bother with it because if its going to dust and squeal... go for the DTC60. that being said, you'll probably want a stock pad to swap in on the off season... thats why i prefer FERODO DS2500, low dusting, no squealing, good bite, great modulation... good all around

It took me literally 10 minutes to have it set up. Just plugs into the OBD and tape it up to your dash. It looks fine in day time which was my main concern. The hardest part is figuring out where you want to display it!
It was originally $110.00 from the manufacturer's site but got it cheap for $60.00 off ebay, suggested by another RS member
