That's where Mr Kasun came into the picture. Through a series of circumstances he had got hold of a blacktop 180sx 7 months earlier. But kept it because he was going to "rebuild it". Of course anyone that knows Kasun knows this was never going to happen, So when when he finally gave in to the inevitable he knew who to call.
SO less than a week later we were calling up the Friendly Uncle from "Lanka Towing" to tow the 180 from Airport West to Endeavour Hills :) Now when Kasun told us the Engine was in pieces he wasn't kidding. it was litereally in a million bits. But we needed to get it all home to make some decisions.
So now the car was home. Engine-less. What to do? Well for some amatuer mechanics the answer was simple.
We washed it. And after we washed it we vaccumed it. And after we vacuumed it we armour-all'd the dash. :D (p.s Dont worry the water is out of our 9000L tank. We are very water conscious)
What next? We scoured the car for every type of aftermarket modification we could find. Here's the list:
Kei office coilovers
FMIC/Piping
HKS Pod
Turbosmart DUal stage Boost controller
Strut Brace
Apexi power Fc w/ HC
Harness
Rear Strut Brace
Bosch 040 Fuel Pump
Alpine Head Unit
Razo Turbo Timer
Boost gauge
Drift Button
Unknown Denso Injectors
Garrett Turbo/Manifold/Wastegate
(3.5k would be a conservative estimate for these mods)
Needless to say we were pretty pleased with ourselves.
And we were spent. So we called it a day.
