Sorry to thread jack but those rims on that white Z make me want to do something nasty to its exhaust.

AS for fender mirrors its a personal choice thing again. If you like them that all that counts.Personally I think they are shit, but its your car so my opinion is moot :)

Who fitted the body kit to that car? :strangle: It looks like it's being held on with cable ties. :crazy:

(talking about the white car)

i think those wheels are nasty :thumbsdown:

being a drift car the kit prob is held on with cable ties. so it falls off and slides away when it gets hit, rather than just smashing on your car.

Uh Lame

Driver side exhaust manifold has crack in it, when this was installed it was UN cracked and perfect

hopefully caught it soon enough that i can be going again for Rakaia

God dam hate changing manifolds on the car, its such a bitch of a job



Edit >

Crisis averted

Pulled off manifold gasket came off real clean ( metal gasket ) gave it a clean and shot it with copper coat bolted the manifold back on and presto no more leak :D

This is the crack , not open yet but Tomorrow I will drop off my spare manifold to have it welded up ( cracked in same position )
and then one night I can do a quick swap over when it finally starts leaking again.

God these old cast manifolds are Horrid Pieces of Junk

Image

I feel a big guilty for doing a dodgy up but I know its getting fixed properly as soon as i get my other manifold back from welding
