Looks like its coming along nicely.
also love your coupe.One hell of a stance!!and from someone who owns similar watanabe rims, its something when you buy rims/tyres which are worth more than the car hahaha.
Yours ands l18_b110 120ys coupe really looked the goods!!
Glad your keeping this project an A-Series ;))))

I love ts cup cars,

L18_b110,
well im still waiting for jcca japan website to verify results.I've been following this events ever since i learnt about this legendary vehicles.
The fastest lap records by b110 and b310 chasis for the last 15 years have been set by very worked 1303cc A-series running F5C56A gearboxes and lsd rear ends.
Waiting for the them to update their website...

next was the carby and its intake manifold..Old carby was leaking and the its other gaskets didn't look to good.

Had a spare carby and manifold in good condition so was easier and more time saving for me to just swap them over instead of buying a rebuild kit.

Also changed the ignition Coil.

Pics of old carby off..

So i had a spare set of all new clutch,Pressure plate and Thrust bearing.
Since car will be a daily,this parts will do just fine.
I might put a heavier duty clutch in the future if i decide to get a Gx camshaft regrind.

This was by far the easiest gearbox i've ever done in a house garage simply due to the gearbox weight.No jack required to lift gearbox during installation:)
Had to quickly go buy the alignment tool as a friend borrowed mine forever.Makes it easier to install.all instructions on the packet but i've included some pics..

unfamilia,
Paint shouldn't really affect a rwc.But will see.I will try and get it registered and see how it goes lol.It will def get the wrong type of attention...
If it doesn't sell when put on market(with/without reg/paint etc),plan is to get the car sprayed in primer.I actually like the finish of primer as it also looks like matte paint.will see in the future how things pan out.
Not too sure but an army green primer "matte" might do in the future.I will think about bodywork and paint selection if it doesn't sell the way it looks now...

Flatto,
Thanks for the compliment.as with most of us,some things come by life and you put certain projects aside.Haven't touched the coupe for years haha.Will get onto it soon.
Life is short and that's why i've decided to be pro-active and get things done otherwise its very easy to hoarde parts/cars which you will never use for years.

SquareNacho,
I honestly don't know the brand of the Steelies.Bought them years ago.Next time i get them off ,i will look for any marks/brand marks and get back to you.

So got the car home,
My cat,Harry, didn't waste anytime to inspect it.Don't know his obsession with old cars.
He loved sleeping in the back of my old 1200 ute.If not there then on top of coupes bonnet.

I also decided to quickly remove the grill for a quick paint in gloss black.Also painted the side "vents"? in matt black to match the matt black steelies before heading for home.

I will sell the car with a spare grill so new owner can get the grill "professionally" painted.It was good enough for me.

Also bled the front drum brakes.The weight at the back helped alot with the braking haha.

This is the model with the charcoal canister.Previous owner had changed carby and its original manifold.He had also disconnected some wiring.I tried tightening the four bolts on the base of carby but that gasket was still leaking..

Car was also driving and behaving as a turbo car with lag.So it would hesitate to accelerate then all of a sudden just really get going.Car also had its gearbox thrust bearing gone as it was very noisy.Clutch was also on its way out.

Previous owner had just finished body work and about to start on its mechanicals when he sold it.Even so,Engine,gearbox and diff feel very good and strong.

anyway a couple of progress pics.
