Law of Murphy at Play for This Daily Driver BNR32

[Gibson]

I'd say probably 20-25 on a good night. A couple very well restored pre-war Fords, very clean muscle cars and this one very nicely modified RHD BMW 5-series. I've seen a Lamborghini Diablo around town as well as a very nice NSX, but I'm not sure if either of them have ever come out to the meet.

I've gotta do some maintenance on my R33 before I can take it long distance again but I wouldn't coming up one time to your meet.

There's a car meet that happens in the Lloyd Mall parking lot every Wednesday evening. Mostly muscle cars, but a few weeks ago a Ferrari 308 and an Audi R8 came out. A few imports, Imprezas and so on. You should come down one time, but let me know so we can park the Skylines together.

What day does the Cold Lake meet happen?

Wow, decent variety of cars. How big is this meet normally? The one we hold in Cold Lake happens Thursday nights. It's still a small gathering right now, but hopefully we'll draw in more cars throughout the summer.

Hey, nice looking ride!

Can I ask how you got those lugs painted? I used the same paint in blue, but the paint came off quite a lot especially as I was tightening them back onto the wheels =[

The paint isn't the most resilient. I was very careful bolting them back on, and there was some flaking. A layer of varnish from a spray can will probably protect it a lot better.

It's a Jun replica lip from C-unit's group buy. I though about going with a Fujimura lip down the road, but after cracking my lip on a driveway and getting a stone chip that dug into the clear coat, I'm glad i only had a replica piece on.

Jun lips are FRP, not carbon.

[gtrjon]

but... what lip is that ? that thing is huge!

Looks like a Jun to me!

Looking good! Glad to see there is some car culture happening up there.

As for the hook, why does the lip need to be removed to screw the hook on? Does it hit the edges of the duct when you are screwing it in?

Thanks Daryl!

The tow hook doesn't have enough clearance with the upper surface of the lip to even thread on.

It's all in the Details

Got my HKS Kansai tow hook today and put it on right away.

The tow hook uses the existing towing points and require the brake duct to be modified.



The hardware is very nice, including a pressure plate to distribute the compression around the stock tow hook.


The hook can be screwed on and off, however the front lip needs to be removed before doing so.


The hook originally came in orange, so I made quick work of that and used the same paint I used on my lugs.





My center caps also came in, and finished off the wheels nicely.
