JameS15 and I met up at Rotorstock today (Saturday) and I only took 2 pics during the entire show cos I wanted to chill and enjoy the drag racing plus getting Silvia onto the sprint track which was fun... mainly cos we weren't sprinting but drifting haha :cool: :rotfl:


Here's James' 15:




And here's mine with the new custom front bumper. Basically because the Works9 front end I got fitted so bad around the lights and under the bonnet, my local amazing bodyshop mate Daz decided it would be far better to cut the original S15 front bumper about 4 inch deep from the top so it all fits like original at the top and then using fibreglass plus bonder join it with the new Works9 section creating a perfectly fitting front end haha!!



So I requested at the same time for the front end to sit about an inch lower than my side skirts because I'll be swapping the skirts for something deeper in future (probs Vertex style) - result a loooowww front end :wack: I scrapped it on the way home within 5 mins of driving away from bodyshop going 2 mph over speed bump. Plus it scrapes everytime I back onto my driveway lol. Nevermind it's only on the underside nobody can see so c'est la vie :rolleyes:

Also there are two countersunk screws on each side of the new front bumper on the outside (visible) which screw into a nut welded onto a bracket behind the bumper so by undoing those as well as 2 screws under the bonnet section I can get the front end off the car in minutes (still requires bonnet lifting and removal of carbon slam panel)... I like it :thumbs:

And finally yes, the FMIC needs urgent dropping :p
