Back to 1998 - The 180sx

 

New Build Start. Pandora RPS13 - 180sx - Tohoku Style.

What's Tohoku Style.

Basically a 180sc with a Type X style body kit made by Hot Road Japan. The lights sit 3 fingers high possible to set with a pivot light controller. I had one of these for my real FD.   

Cut is done. Lights already cut also for the sleepy eye effect. 

So what colour will match these rims.


Colour will be Show Up Maziora Andromeda II. If you know you know. Popular with Signal auto Cars in the late 90's and early 2000's

Andromeda II is a Blue base wth Gold and Pink Flip Paint. 

I used to live not far from a Show Up paint shop in Urayasu, so it was always a dream to paint something in real Maziora Paint. Now that's possible.

Wheel Tripping

 

Wheels really do make an impression. 

A recent trip snagged me some now ones. 

There is a plan for these Buzz Break Overdose items that you'll see in another post.

These are for the Yaris and Evo X


Evo looks cool, needs a splitter though. 


Ive followed RC for a long time so when Masami teamed up with Topline. These were the result. 


I like my other topline high Traction Wheels so these should be good to. Just a slightly differnt spoke to the old N-Model so named N-Type. These are also 27mm wide so the outer lip is fatter also. 

Look great on the FD.
