Newman's E30/Skyline swap thread

[Simon S]

Very badass.

Indeed.
Car looks like a rowdy-ass trouble-maker.

Re: not lowering it, I'm in agreement, that height is good for both looks and handling purposes. However, final product wise, it seems like the type of thing that would look awesome up close--very nice, well thought out and put together (save the MT1 valence, arguably)--then you stand back and say "....hmm."

Having said that, I guarantee it would look tits without the neon colors. But that's obviously your thing and your prerogative.

fuck the gayass stance guys,

this car>gay ass vws with stupid low offset wheels and gay stretched tires.

[Super Sedan]

Nice work Newman. I want to come take a ride.

[Iain]

I fully support Newman's "stance" on not lowering his car, too. It's not off-road spec, so why bother fucking your roll centres just to make the teens at the local car park hangout swoon?

Function > form.

There is a difference between Rice and JDM AZZ PHUCK YO!! This car is the latter in my book.

Agreed. I wasnt calling his car rice, just funny that that's what hes accusing "stance" guys of

Amazing! Might look better with plate filler IMO, but it looks great anyways.


rice

not rice

Its not that his car is rice, its just funny that he scoffs at vee dub trends when his car looks like it was decorated at your local anime store.



For the recored, i was stoked when i first caught wind of the project, but the final product is a miss for me. I'm sure itd be fun to track though

I would love to see a video of this car on a track. Very curious what it could do if it were able to 'run free'. I kind of like the miss-matched colors. It leaves no doubt (even to a novice) that something is there that wasn't intended to be, and it shows an appreciation for function being the first and foremost of goals.

Very badass.

Woah woah woah. You accused someone else of euro rice? really?





really?

rice

not rice

newman's engine is from this ^^ (or an earlier one, Im not sure)

[Iain]

This car is so "scene" it hurts sometimes. Mind you, skids will be epic.

How do you rate the IE flares, Newman?

[E30Kaiser]

Oh, so you're just saying regular rice? :rofl:

Shit yeah! where's the euro-rice on my car? I don't have a rusted hood, yellow lights, a roof rack, stretched tires, etc.

My headliner is like the only thing on my car that's euro-rice (at least off the top of my head).

[JamesE30]

A euro plate filler and smoked tails/startecs would do wonders for this car. Bet its fun to drive though

[scabzzzz]

I dont like it as much as I thought I would :( Im disappointed at myself, not at you though.
Feel like its missing a certain something... Ill think about it and report back (not that you care newman). Maybe its the wheel color next to the paint? Or the fender flares being black? One bad motherfucker though. Good job OP.
