wish ic was more discrete.

ctnewman · 03-01-2010, 07:06 AM

i really think the IC would look bad in black. I think it'd just be sooo much black. I think that the silver IC, the chrome kidneys and the remaining chrome in the lights make it just right. They match the SS bolts on the flares and my polished lips...

I suppose I could polish the tanks, but not now...

May be laid up for a bit tho... I dislocated my shoulder trying a rodeoflip over a big hip last night. I'm hurtin pretty good right now...

You probably saw this in posts (though it contains new text):
02/26/10 - General update/Front valence

But you haven't seen this:
03/01/10 - Interior CF Trim/Broke myself

ctnewman · 03-02-2010, 08:43 PM

Still pushing!

03/02/10 - Door grab handles

lazysk8er2 · 03-02-2010, 09:14 PM

are you gonna put carpet or something on the floor? or just leave it and paint the interior one solid color

ctnewman · 03-02-2010, 09:20 PM

Tunnel is staying bare, I'm bolting floormats to the floor. That's it.

allntrlundrgrnd · 03-02-2010, 09:58 PM

my face just melted.

Pure. Awesome.

ctnewman · 03-03-2010, 01:28 PM

Hey, I think I'm doing pretty good. I got my carpet samples for my custom floor mats... they're going to be fucking rad... I picked this material:

It's even rubber backed! I'm going to cut it to shape, then take it to a local binder to have an edge put on it. It's going to be rad...

Here's what's left:

Modify rear cards to work with CF rears.

Install hood: this involves painting the hinge and roller parts

Hook up gauges: this is pretty straightforward and shouldn't take long

Mount front speakers: This will prove to be a pain, as I have to mount them up under the dash, somewhere, somehow

Make floormats: not too hard

Driveshaft: Still haven't moved much on this... I need to figure out if I'm going to have something scratch built or if I'm just going to have something welded on my existing universals...

Install seats and harnesses: easy

Mounting hardware for sideskirts, I think I am going to remove them and drill the body for the mounting, I don't think the double sided tape is going to cut it...

SimpleS14 · 03-03-2010, 05:41 PM

Is there enough clearance to keep the IC from scrapping? just wondering

I'm loving your build and your determination.

I think there should be plenty of ground clearance, I don't have a super aggressive stance, really.

ctnewman · 03-03-2010, 10:00 PM

S14_Kouki · 03-07-2010, 10:43 PM

Damn man I want to see this fucking car run already lol.

ctnewman · 03-08-2010, 06:56 AM

oh, since I have a thing for shift knobs, I decided I am going to start a little collection and keep them in the car... I might even make a lil holder that mounts on the tunnel in front of the shifter...

I ordered this:

And this:

And made this (nismo clone):

I'm gonna paint it body color w/ black lettering...

1kuo · 03-08-2010, 07:24 AM

this car looks amazing, and the updates amaze me every time. sick to know you are also into the park scene in skiing ! rodeo flip haha deem son.

Antihero983 · 03-08-2010, 08:05 AM

since you have Bricktop as your avatar (and Snatch is one of the best movies ever) your license plate should say PIGFARMR

ctnewman · 03-08-2010, 08:15 AM

I think the plate is just gonna say E30GTR

ctnewman · 03-08-2010, 10:16 AM

Splitter update!

03/08/10 - Shift knobs and splitter

WagDatto · 03-08-2010, 08:51 PM

The Cruise knob is super sweet, but it's super tiny in your palm, too. I gave it to my friend to use in her 240sx.

ctnewman · 03-09-2010, 06:44 AM

I painted my tunnel black last night...

ctnewman · 03-09-2010, 10:58 AM

The star shift knob came out pretty sweet, I'll get pics of it later when I actually have my camera...

Since I need to send my splitter to the laser, I decided to have some other parts laser cut as well. I made 2 sets of these... one without text, one with. Here are the ones w/ text:

E30 GT-R YO!!!!

Showing some straightedge love.
