	JDM yo! i like it. if i could have a $1500 daily..and it looked like that..i'd be quite happy haha those arches have been flared out rather nicely...actually...i think they're standard..

deNs » CMF Member Melbourne Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: Awesome Micra	Thu 03 Apr 2008 10:05:22 PM
	They are standard - the inner lip just looks like it's been bent out and has possibly had some guard rolling work done to bring it out a bit more. Only reason I say this is that it looks like the front/rear guards are still in primer and not yet painted but it's a bit hard to tell with the colour of the car. Question is.. how the fk do you get that much negative camber on the rear (front could be simply camber bolts), and where'd he/she find such nice offset oldschool wheels with the 4x100 PCD.. dammit that's a good find. ---dens

	in japan they cut a section out of the rear axle and weld it back together to get the angle... i'd say that's what jdm boi has done. wheels are easy to find if you've got money and aren't looking at bob jane's display window

I know of a place where you can order those SSR rims - just need $$$ *HINT* Glenn Kowta at: http://upgrademotoring.com/wheels/ssr/mk-iii.htm

	Nice wheels! :)

deNs » CMF Member Melbourne Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: Awesome Micra	Sat 05 Apr 2008 01:01:12 AM
	Sure you can find RWD offset wheels and chuck them on, but most i've tried are +20 and while it looks agressive, needs serious guard work to get them in the guards. Find me a set like that in australia (i.e. not through yahoo jp) that doesn't cost a small fortune :P No seriously, you're welcome to find me a set, haha... ---dens

(ive gotten about 6 pairs from japan, its an easy process) heres a couple more pics of that car i found on secret drift.com

	he's also got the kouki (later type) front bumper and headlights to go on when he paints it... but he's in japan atm, so it will be a while before the finished product.

	i thought as much... im guessing he'll just mod the ones his got unless he brings some back from japan with him this time...

turbo march-rolling shell » CMF Member brisbane Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: Awesome Micra	Tue 08 Apr 2008 04:27:01 PM

	i cant remember if he's running coilovers or not, will ask next time we chat. and could maybe orginise for him to send some parts over... just depends how busy he is.

	Thread bumpage much? :P Already seen the finished pics of it - someone posted them up on the R31 forum a couple of weeks ago. Looks good.. but why isn't he on the forums, dammit? ---dens

	HOT Just needs a fresh coat of paint and some Super S bumpers.

xsoarerx » CMF Member logan Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: Awesome Micra	Tue 11 Nov 2008 02:21:11 PM
	that is a fresh coat of paint! he wasnt happy i took thoes pics on a cloudy day and when it was dirty. but it has rainbow flake in the paint! and thoes bumpers are the color/type he settled with. the cage is awesome! he still has the roof lining in and they had to use siccsor jacks to get it in :P.

climberjoel » CMF Member Canberra Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: Awesome Micra	Tue 11 Nov 2008 02:47:09 PM
	looks tough but what's coming out of the grill? is it an oldschool style oil cooler thingo?

deNs » CMF Member Melbourne Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: Awesome Micra	Tue 11 Nov 2008 02:51:33 PM
	cisco WROTE: "HOT Just needs a fresh coat of paint and some Super S bumpers." Look closely and you'll see it's an unpainted Super-S bar without the foglights. ;) The older images are of it with an LX bar, but it seems he's changed them since. climberjoel: Yes it's an oil cooler. ---dens

sportsclassic » CMF Member sydney Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: Awesome Micra	Tue 11 Nov 2008 03:03:52 PM
	Is it a half cage or full?

xsoarerx » CMF Member logan Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: Awesome Micra	Tue 11 Nov 2008 03:12:54 PM
	full cage :P striped out rear.

	turbo march-rolling shell WROTE: "thats a weird fuckin super s bar... never seen one with the lx/slx mouldings in one.... ever. bout time someone did a decent job of that bonnet shit.. looks mad" Whoa now that you mention it - looks like a jap Super-S bar (well, their equivelant model with foglights). Do you mean the fact that it has the foglight spots but that the numberplate holder isn't sticking out for the Euro sized plates? Cause the only ones with those as far as I know are the japs. Maybe it was imported.. ---dens

	lol that looks mean! love the crazy camber and the convertable rear lights. that front bumper is weird though, looks good. is that a swinging jesus handle i see in the rear side window in the las pic? not sure about the number plate. "kaw4i" I assume is Kawai which from memory is "Cute" in Japanese... I guess it follows the jap theme.

Dodgy Haro » CMF Member Brisbane Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: Awesome Micra	Wed 12 Nov 2008 11:01:41 AM
	Thanks for the pics - Shane has come a long way from his old beaten AE86 ... I just regret not having bought that rollcage off Brad when it was available but it is good to see it go to an old mate. Those 'Kawai' plates were originally on a Suzuki bongo carry van with some Mk1 SSR rims. His brother also had 'Kowai' plates on a R32 skyline but I think that car has since moved on as well.

	Didn't think the tow hooks themselves were different, just that the shape of the bumper was different enough that meant you needed the cover. I can take some comparison shots of both kinds tonight for you if you want. ---dens

xsoarerx » CMF Member logan Australia Member since: Posts:	Re: Awesome Micra	Wed 15 Apr 2009 09:23:34 PM
	yeah, he welded + boged it. the negative camber helps fit the rims... how else you going to fit 14x8/5's under the guards :S and as an added bonus the camber is amazing to drive with, sticks to the road. if it was any other car i would of been alittle upset someone saying that, but i weighed up building a micra like this and i wouldnt even come close to building something half as good for the price i paid for it. paint & pannel, wheels, suspension, March cup cage, headlights etc... and mine wouldnt have the class this one has, its an awesome job ;)
