Well I can go to summitracing.com or jegs.com but if you could get him to tell you exactly what sizes the lines are that would save me the effort. If you can then thanks! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/cool.gif



Ok.. this is what I got from my freind on what we used..



"Everything came from summit racing. the adapters he needs depends on the car. Toyota, mazda are 10mm by 24(thread pitch) to an -3. the wilwood balancer will run the 1/8npt to an -3 adapters and then you need the 1n-3 hose ends as well as about 20 foot of earls -3 braided line. He can choose from steel, zinc plated or stainless. Hope this helps"



Let me know if you need any more info..



also, I have more pics up here.. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v2...nawa/My%20Car/

Another question. That heat shielding that you have on the lower portion of the firewall. Is that self adhesive? How has the held up? Would you recommend it?

yea, its self adhesive.. recommend it.. ah, hard to say right now. I wanted it done to help lower temps in the interior.. but seeing how its winter its hard to judge. But it has started peeling off the firewall a little bit. one thing we came up with to counter this is were going to use rivits and large thin washers to help hold it on. As of right now, I would say yes, but it definatly needs help staying on.

Yea I am assume Okinawa gets pretty hot. It may not get quite as bad here in Maryland but we have our fair share of 90 degree+ with 90%+ humidity. My car gets balls/ass hot in the summer. I have no A/C either so I would be interested in something that could help. I don't know that I want to fool with riviting that **** into my engine bay though.

not sure on the maker of the fenders.. think they're actually from two differant companys.



you talking about the headlights or the bumper? headlights are great.. thier HID, so definatly brighter than stock.



the blinker covers came with the bumper..



van.. doing very good. he's got a Mk3 supra now and is leaving for Italy soon.
