After the love tap with Alans r34 my drivers headlight cover, plastic surround, wing and bumper corner needed some attention so I pulled the car into the shed for the winter and stripped the damaged parts.

Currently in the process of getting it built back up over winter for more drift practice days and a few competitions.
I also ordered some hardrace tension rods and camber arms to adjust the rear for a little more grip

So the initial plan after owning two quite expensive Toyotas was buy something and keep it relatively cheap, but we all know how that usually pans out when you own a Japanese rwd. Some new nismo injectors were bought from Japan,

I got a used z32 in mint condition locally

and bought a cheapy turbo to try (see how long it holds out if it shits itself I will buy a precision or garrett to replace it)


Also found a used nistune ecu at very reasonable money. Plans are to use it for the first couple of events with the current power, then fit everything and take it to Richard Bradley for a remap which should see around 350bhp

Not much of an update... The kouki front was out of shape so I lined it back up as best I could with duck tape and cable ties, applied gentle heat and worked it back to where it should be. A tiny bit of fibreglass will be needed to tidy up below the headlight cover but its 99% back to the way it was, the joys of plastic bumpers lol

Finally got the drivers front pulled back into position, wing straightened, bumper tidied and headlight operating again
