Just a quick update.My black cappo has the Hungarian reg now,,these pictures were taken before the test. right rear wing just temporarly fixed for the test . TT spoiler fitted,but I'm not sure if I'll keep it or not. Car was running rough but a set of new iridium plugs solved the problem I'm going home in august ,,can't wait to drive it The red Cappo had some serious rust,so its undergoing some serious welding now.
Update time! Im back home for a few days,so finally got some time to work on my car.
I recently bought a cusco 2way lsd which i got serviced and fitted ,,it transformed the whole car I just love it!!
Then i got my brake fluid changed,and the car got 4 new winter tyres on the original wheels, just to be on the safe side.I still dont have tyres for the 15" wheels,so can't try them on yet.
Here is a pic of the 15" wheels test fitted last summer
I fitted ccfl Rings in my headlights,while i was doing the European conversion on my projectors. its not wired up yet as one of my inverters are gone unfortunately,but cant wait to have them hooked up.
Eventhough I changed brakefluid,I still wasnt happy with my brakes. new discs are on my shopping list,but in the meantime i had to do something. I was talking to a rallydriver friend of mine the other day,who mentioned that they used to groove their discs for better braking performance.. So i gave it a chance aswell. I cut grooves in the discs,and got them skimmed after. I know its a dodgy DIY,,but Brakes are a lot better than before
More updates soon to come,as i'm doing bits and pieces on the car every day as i get a chance
Thanks for the advice Steve ,,just finished the tunnel bars and fitted them,,,what a transformation since Lsd diff and these braces are fitted,it feels like im driving a different car.

Are those wheels part of the axe range? Recognise them!

all i know about those wheels is that they've been produce by aluline. not the best option for the cappo,but i had them here at home,,so why not this lsd is not exactly what you want in your everyday car imo. its a really tight diff.
here is some onboard footage,,first few minutes in the snow,having a bit of fun Sorry for the quality,i'll upload some better footage from back home.

Haven't had an update for ages,due to not having any time to go home recently Only had 2 weeks this summer,so I rather used my baby than fiddled with it But!!! One more cappuccino has been saved from breaking will upload decent pics soon ,,it just got the hungarian reg (still waiting for the smaller size plates lol) This red cappo has 44k miles,,was accident damaged but it was rust free now its been properly undersealed,this will be my fathers toy
the local office claims that they have to get it custom made,,as its motorcycle-size plate,,that is not being sold in pairs normally so its an extra 40 eur and 2 weeks.

Time for some new pics again not much visible has happened to my car lately,,as I can't fly home as much as I planned to.We did some work to my dads Cappuccino and 300zx,,so it was a well spent 2 weeks back home
Out at my friends garage after some fun in the snow(note the turbocharged ae86 in the background,,some serious mods on that car!!)
Took the gearbox off,changed the oil and flywheel,and clutch kit
My Dad's red cappo on the front,,now fitted with OEM helical lsd ,Longlife exhaust system and a nice front strutbrace,and a pair of refurbed rear shocks.
And this is Ezra's ex car,,next on the list to get sorted by my uncle;) at least it stays in family Engine is up and running again after sorting out some valve issues.
Drop me a PM if you would like to be added to the ClubCappo Member Map. More details can be found here. We now have an official Facebook group as well as a page! See here
Engine is standard,running standard pressure,I have HKS filter,HKS Bow, and a powerflow exhaust system,,lightened flywheel,Red Magnecor Ht leads,,that's about it I just bought a 698cc bottom end from Kei,which will hopefully be built by this winter,along with uprated intercooler and a VEMS standalone Ecu.No idea about turbocharger yet.
here is another video from a different view,bit of playing around as it was the last round.
My BOV stopped working half way through this video,looks like the solenoid is gone.
