omg that looks way so much better than mine :banana:! dammmm! umm but yeh just for now would it be ok till i save up and buy the front bar and trim it properly. I mean i trimed it a lil bit but yeh, just wanting to know...

Thanks, Geraus

shit man... why did you mutilate the bottom lip section?

Its a bolt-in kit... well... near enough to it anyhow.

As long as you dont chop the reo, your ok... but thats just gonna attract attention regardless

For the time being, get some garden lining and nail it along the bottom of the bar for a makeshift lip lol. My mate did it when he cut open his bar, looks alright, if you're not looking up close.

lol....sorry bud, i think you got a little to eager with things. good idea to get a kit that uses the factory pipes but having all your bits hangin out kinda defeats the purpose.

dont want to rub salt into the wound but it looks a little crooked too.

sometimes its best to take a step back, take a deep breath, and ask the good guys on the forum for some help and advice especially when it comes to hackin into the car.

    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear!
