[frankiman]

if it looks anything like this when done, it will truly be siick


you could probly get custom RS watanabes replicas in 17X9~10

will it get a complet overhaul? body, paint, interior, roll cage?
will it be a akumaZ style replica?

i love this car

Going to follow it as much as possible. The only thing I am going to change is the color. Going with the R35 Spec V black. It's the most gorgeous color I've ever seen in person.

EDIT: first post of my birthday!

You might want to try the AE86 forums. I have a few friends with those cars and apparently watanabes come up there every now and then. You might also find them on Yahoo auctions and go thru Daryl at Tuneralb.jp to get them in.

A classic S30 with fender flares, RS Watanabes and a G-nose with RB power would be a dream car for me.

Why auctions and forums? Arent they still being made?

Or is it just because they are cheaper used??

btw OP Nice Ride. Congrats man. I really dig the z's

^^ wow a good set of 16x9 would be 2500+ haaa

but at least they have the right offset, that no other replicas have

[Ricky Ricer]

They are cheaper used. And they look soooo much better than the knock off rotas. But depending on my budget I may have to go with those

I got some sweet stuff for my birthday. My GF got me an N1 oil and water pump, and the Hangover on Bluray!

So it sounds like those should be here at the end of the month. I need to pull my crank to see what grade bearings I need. Then I'm going to order all the bottom end bearings.

Rick, have you seen the RS Watanabe wheels for sale here:

PM turbo_crx for specs!!!!!

[Ricky Ricer]

Awesome! Thanks!

[frankiman]

theres at least a 30mm difference in offset (if not more) between the two pairs of wheels, it would look weird as **** imo

[greddytrustGTR]

I F***ING LOVE THESE!!!!

i came across one the other day for 2200$ but body was far from perfect so i didnt buy it, but im still keeping an eye open for them, theres 4 or 5 of them in ottawa, a blacked out on BBS RS wheels and powered by a fully built RB26 with T51R. and a orange one that also has an RB but on watanabes driven by a cop. both look sick, Good luck with your build.
