I drove the car last night in the same condition as the last pics. I then jokingly commented to the mechanic that the car was not powerful enough. He then got in the car and proceeded to perform a 3 circle donut with the car in front of me. Maybe the 13inch wheels helped but it was immpresive nonetheless. i was too awestruck to pull out my camera.

Nothing much happening. Still body prep and painting. Painfully slow and the guys forgot to mask off the window apertures so putty and primer sludge is collecting inside!!! WTF??!! I got to get that sorted out.

Just got an HKS turbo kit from a friend for an L20. Does anyone have pictures of how it looks ON the car? I've got no idea how to big part marked "TURBO" fits. It measures about 35cm across. Here's how it looks:

Yeah. It looks really cool. Typical early 80s Jap in-your-face styling. The 2inch TURBO script on the cast aluminium airbox just to remind you it is forced induction in case you forgot. I am just wondering how it is positioned in the engine bay. Hook up is straight forward i hope, i am just worried about the mounting location.
