Good luck with the project hoping to see a sick looking tib soon.

 

hmmm i dont think ive seen a tib with a roof scoop....look forward to the finished product

 

I have seen 2 different ones on the internt somwhere, actually i fell in love with the roofscoop on the f&f eclipse. but anyways it looks pretty agressive, matches the kit well i think

 

Oh no, not another sc kit tib. Looking good though, good luck.

 

ALOTTTTTTttttttttttttttttta work! hope it turns out great when its finish...

 

looks good so far


HOPEFULLY though you already have new wider lower offset rims waiting to go on with the kit??:3_pimatyo

 

yea u better take some more pics....lol i wan't to see more.

 

I have not bought any rims just yet, but i know which ones i want anyways. i`m not gonna use it in the winter so it will be parked in the garage some time after the paint job is finish. ( the rims is actually my winter set. i have been working on this one waaaaaay to long) Yeah i Have seen a couple of sc kits on tibs, but i only know one that actually made it look good, because everyone have way to much gaps in the joints. ( Thats why im cleaning mine)

 

Well good job man. Personally I don't like roof scoops on front engine-mounted vehicles but good luck, looks like you're making some great progress. Can't wait to see it done.

 

keep us updates how it turns out looking good

 

This is going to be a Mean looking Tib/ Tuscani
What is the car in the background behind yours, looks exotic.

 

I`m not sure actually . I think its a Frenchman (citroen) or something like that.

 

Looks like a Renault to me.

 

or a renault

 

no offense to your taste or anything....but to me, that kit is just plain ugly.....im not a fan of body kits though......interested to see it finished

 

Don't take any quick corners, or you'll get cracking all along your rear quarters.

Good luck with it.

 

i have dents in my rear quarters and i dont even have a body kit. guess i need strut bars BAD.

 

Trust me, the longer you see the kit.. the more you'll like it. Thats what happened to the 2007.

 

touché... tru story, 07+hana = sex. actually looks less liek a shark and more like a sting ray. id def get that and put a window decal saying **** steve irwin

why would you create mesh vents for the rear quater panels for air to go in, but nowhere for it to leave?

cuz it looks so ****in cool

This is more of a show off car than a track car, so i guess it will be treated gently (the greatest concern will be my GF driving ) but i appreciate the warning tho I hope i can get some more shots of it later too. i do have some pics from earlier stages of the buildup if anyone is interested in seeing them, i can post some.

omg let ur girlfriend drive? are u nuts?

I think you should've left it pink. It's manly.

i was JUST thinking that

looks good so far

ya man need those rims pushed out more so u dont get:

Parachute replacement?

 

more pics!

this is the second car in a row ive gotten with a sunroof, and if i hadnt, on this or the other one, i would def put one of those useless vents on the roof, bc im sorry, **** is tight!

 

Well actuallythe air does have ways to go, it drains in the lower part of the kit, u cant see it from the pictures. maybe it gives better cooling for the brakes?? he he. And to those who don't like the kit, well everyone got their own taste... and i have done many alterations on the kit it self, so i think it will be looking great in the end. i will post more pics when i have gotten some progress, have allot of other things to attend at the moment so does the guys in the body shop.

 

it's a nissan primera. nothing special or exotic. for europe it's much less exotic than tiburons

 

totally worth it in my opinion, my invisible dents are proof of that. im not even going to bother getting them pulled until i stiffen up the chassis. it'll probably just happen again if i don't. i am talking hard turns though, basically cornering as fast as the car will go before it loses grip with stock suspension, no strut bars, but high performance summer tires. this was enough to wrench the rear quarter panels. the one with the gas cap on it seems to be more structurally sound. the passenger side one with no breaks in it seems to be the evil one.

and if anyone else still isn't convinced, on this same course i scraped my front tow hook on the pavement at stock height in a chicane with only the very modest downward slope. the car actually has slightly oversized tires (215/50/17) so i'm actually sitting higher off the ground than stock and i STILL bottomed out. that's how bad the body flex can be when you're pushing the car to its limits.

 

Sounds bad man.. I might try to make something on the inner side of the quarter panels to stiffen it up a bit. but hey.. i got the 1.6 how fast can it go

 

oh the 1.6 is plenty to cause the same problem. it might take you longer to reach speed, but once you get there you can certainly corner at high speed. it really also depends on your driving habits and how hard you push the car, but protect your investment as much as you can.

i always enjoy progress shots.

 

some pics from earlier in the buildup.
