Nz Style in Australia

[zenki]

ah, another ae86dc member.

Really sucks that your car got stolen.

The 2 other sprinters are awesome. Exactly how i want my car to look, kouki bumper- zenki lip & slammed on oldskool deepdish wheels.

[Petros AE86]

congratulations mate!!i like very much your car!!nice mods!!

[slpery86]

cheers zenki, simple is good and say no to rota!

thanks petros, if thats your 86 in your sig i like very much too!

due to cops being terrible here im no longer driving the lowered one.. managed to get the other one running after much messing around, ended up the jets in the carby were blocked so swapped the carby from the low one over, started first pop and runs well.. hasnt been driven in 3 1/2 years.. bled brakes, checked oil and water, filled it up with petrol and took it for a wash etc..




just like a bought one






Sprinter powah!



its funny to drive compared to the other one, so floaty and normal car like.. daily duties

so for this to live, other had to die, so few final pics until 20v comes over

had to shoot home to nz to organise a few things, managed to bring 51kgs of parts back with me on the plane







new and shiny trueno bits



15x10 formula mesh (made up out of rear barrels)






saw my 20v for the first time, looks neat, tiny tho..

tried to find my stolen 86, couldnt, found petrol flap in amongst my parts which is the last thing i have from car, sigh



put zenki levin lights in the daily




got sent a couple of photos of it in its factory ADM glory

didnt like it so tried silver




also cut up grill and put fogs behind




bought some trueno guards, grill bracket and headlight switch





got bored so assembled my trueno bumper

Aand now I`m convinced that I need to get a liftback that I can do some work with and drive daily to appreciate every little change!

Very cute little liftbacks you have there! A shame about the panel beater disappearing with your red car!

[Petros AE86]

love it!!!
but why you remove sprinter lights for the ugly zenki??
where you will put 15x10 rims???keep stock fenders or roll them!!dont put fiberglass.

[slpery86]

thanks rascal, `cute? what do you think?` and yes it is a shame

petros, i remove sprinter lights because i am pedantic, if the front is levin i want the rear to be levin too! and i have grown to like them over time as for the 15x10, i bought them more as ornaments, but i brought them to australia so i could use the centres in my wheels, unfortunately they are made up from 14" centres > and my car will never see fiberglass guards!

Well, over here the coupè levin`s are usually regarded as slightly more suitable cars for performance driving (Less weight and better rigidity) that kind of thinking sort of got into me
So liftbacks are regarded kind of as the more fun-fun sort of daily driver rather than an aggressive performance car (Not that the visible difference in performance matters much, if anything the liftbacks look cooler when they go sideways xD)
