Hey guys been a while just found this on buyee/Yahoo auctions and had to share. even if I can't afford it if someone could make molds from that back trim I know at least I'd be interested.

I hope it finds a good home and I hope I find that rear s trim someday.

Im sure if someone really wanted they could meld the two and pick what they liked. I was jut excited to show that another company is doing it. They almost have to do thing different because of copy rights and what not. I was most excited that the fender flares are removable. The ones on the 09 kit arent on the front and you have to really work the back flares to get them to work on the coupe. Its a different idea which is neat. Mirrors are like one of the easiest things to change.

Carbon Signal from Dubai just released what they are releasin for the Hakotora kit. They are first releasing the truck then in the summer releasing a kit specifically for the coupe. The fender flares shown are bolt on and they are hoping for a better fitment. Idk the price yet though. What do you guys think?

Found out that the rims are 1 piece cast. Bummer but not the worst news. Anyway thanks for the advice on the roll cage. I do plan on welding the seams during the resto anyway. So I probably wont right now. If I decide to build up a motor and put a supercharger or turbo on it, then I will roll cage it first. But the goal right now is to get it running, cancer free, and a weekend driver. Im sure i will have more quetions later lol

Hey DD how important do you think puttig a roll cage in? Im back and forth on it myself and was looking for other peoples opinions.

Great thats awesome to know. Thanks DD. Also I just noticed that they might be 3 piece rims (confirming it with manufacturer), and they have the same number of bolts around as the xxr 538 which is the same size and width but with a +0 offset. So i might be able to mix the middles and get the look I want with the +0 offset with 1"flares.

Yeah 8" wide. The hakotora kit comes with fender flares so I was plnning an putting them on anyway. I was talking with the company and they only make it in this width at this offset. I thought spacers would work but thats just for street. Im pretty sure they arent allowed on the track. Right?

I found these Toms racing wheels and I thought they looked super cool but they are kind of small and super expensive. And in my looking atound I found these STR 527 rims. But they are 5x8 +15 offset. Has anyone tried this offset before? I already plan on a bunch of body work so its not the extra work. Id just like to see if people have tried it and if they have pictures. Much appreciated thanks.

Ok I was thinking that radiator would fit but I wasnt sure if it would habdle the heat. Im sure it will though.

Yeah the Top gun raceway is here. I havent been to any races yet but I will be pretty soon. Ive seen a couple of Zs but beyond that not a whole lot of of vintage japanese stuff beyond that.

I'm actually looking at the spec v engine which comes with a higher compression ratio and 200hp stock with 174 ft lb torque.
