Saw your car at Caffeine and Octane this past Sunday. Didn't know you were on here, but a friend told me. Looks awesome! Those model 5s are legit. I was shooting video, so I didn't get any pictures of it, but here's a quick screenshot of yours:

great progress on a great car.
sorry your bromance with the white s15's owner didn't work out. it's a shame to hear about peoples attitudes when you're genuinely interested in their car. forums are supposed to be where people come to talk about like interests and share info but, like the other user said, it's somewhat of a popularity contest with some people. i love seeing rare cars like yours and meeting the owners. it's great when the owners are more than happy to share info and answer questions even tho they've been asked the same questions by many other people. nice to see some people don't let it go to their head. i recently had a set of advans for sale and i met up with the owner only to see he had an r32. it was the first i had seen in person. the guy was awesome. very cool and was happy to answer any questions. would've even let me drive the car. it was like i'd known the guy for years. not only did he have the one r32 but he had 2 of them. the guy wasn't a dick at all. he was pretty much an inspiration after asking about how he came to acquire the cars.

Sorry for the lack of updates. Work has consumed my life....
The aftermath of my unpackaging...I want to thank the seller blktopsr20 for doing such an amazing job packaging it. It was shipped through greyhound and received it in the same condition he shipped it in. Sellers that do good packaging is a rarity these days. And finally my pride and joy. I have been looking for one of these for a very long time. After losing two auctions on yahoo japan, I was determined to not let this one slip away. All tabs are intact and not one crack on this bumper. The only thing it is missing are the fog trims which I will have to purchase through rhdjapan. |

Sorry man, lol. Right now I am saving some money and accumulating some parts. Here in a few weeks I am going to pull the engine and do a full build minus touching the bottom end.

SR still?
I don't know why, but seeing JDM cars in the USA is super weird for me, in a good way. The mental image i have is that JDM cars down there are like the anti-christ and you have to have a pair to own one (state titled cars). I don't know if thats accurate or not, obviously you take it to meets and aren't anal about people seeing your car/plates. Good on you dude! Really a cool car, I've only ever seen one in person (illegally in Canada, wont be legal til next year) and it was like nothing I have experienced. Same with the R34 beside it (same situation). thumbs up from a fellow jdm owner.

Sorry everyone for the lack of updates. I have been crazy busy this year. Mostly been collecting parts and saving up money to do lots of mods and upgrades this winter. Keep an eye out these next few weeks. I'll be posting up some of the cool stuff I have accumulated. Also check out my instagram (username: garagelu) for updates. Once I start my build, I will be posting frequently on there with random build updates. This bumper has been in storage at my house ever since I got it. I decided to take it up to the garage and do a test fit. With the oem s15 bumper I had to do a lot of trimming for it to fit the greddy FMIC and the piping. Looks like this bumper will need the same treatment. I am really torn because I really don't want to cut up this perfect aero bumper. Most of you know how rare these are to find, let alone in this condition. And if I run my current piping set up, I won't be able to run the oem fog lights. I think the fog lights look terrible in the factory bumper but on the aero bumper, I think it looks really good. So maybe next weekend I'll pull the FMIC off. Then I'll install the bumper and see how I can install the FMIC and maybe do some custom piping to fit around the bumper. |

cars dope!
Started cracking up when you said people ask you if it's an s14 conversion. I know their both s-chassis so the big picture is similar but the body lines aren't even close to the same. |

Yea actually I am in Huntsville right now visiting my parents for Thanksgiving. S15 is still back in ATL. I've only driven it to Huntsville once and it was to register the car. Thanks for the kind words. Plan is to pull the engine out this sunday so keep an eye out.

My Aero bumper was pretty ragged when i got it from being cut to fit the Greddy FMIC. I was still able to run my fogs though with the plastic trim around them. Car looks awesome man, you must run the aero bumper!
