Ok at the moment my 'line is dead stock in terms of rice.... and by spending as little as possible, I want to give it that "Japanese" look. I'm not after "pure rice" and I don't want to cover the car in stickers, I just want something to give it a little extra street credit :headbang:

All the skylines in Japan that I see on the net look kind of different from the ones you see here, so what do they do that we don't?

I have so far thought of the following:

- super dark tinting

- jap brand body kit (too expensive for me though)

Got any suggestions?

Have stickers like...

"Street RACING"

"GOOD ROAD"

"MUFFLER"

"FAST CAR"

"THUMBS UP" etc..etc.

These are actually cover the JAP cars I've seen on Videos...1st time I saw them I scratched my head for while?!?!?:(

or for the true Jap ricey car cover your half windscreen with the stickers that does not make sense...

me two cents

cheers

actually... i think i saw a copy of the bronze RAYS on a black my02 wrx... it was in hot4s... would be alot cheaper than the original.

nissaner what do the ones u mean look like?

if u want "street cred" as u put it... how about doing some power mods rather than making it look like a tiger when its really a kitten

ROFL i agree, so many ppl make it look hot when its a stock dog box "NO Offence m8" engine mods would be a better mod i reckon than poxy stickers. Or u could always go buy a FORD or a LEYLAND, HAHAH ROFL

-- get some fullsik neons

-- get some mugen stickers and maybe a 'vtec inside' sticker

-- get a doof doof system

You forgot a "type-r" sticker, one of those fake blow off valves for N/A cars, fake fuel filler, oh and of course the 'sik' wheel lights :(

I don't want rice!!!

I just want to make it look more 'oriental'....LOL I don't think some people understand what I mean by that

I like the cup holder in the air vent idea, you see that on heaps of jap cars!!

whack on stickers like..

' super fun turismo movement'

'racing dream flow power '

and crap like that. hehe :-)

but if you want real street cred.. put a cage in it!

NOBODY runs me unless i initiate it and she's a bog stock 32 enginewise so theyll most probably blow me away. The best thing is she handles like a dream :(

    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like  
    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.
