2020 - Jan and Feb parts collecting.



I made a mistake when I was in LA. It was more of a social event and so I didn't really break down what was there and what I needed to get. For the first 3 weeks of January 2020,
Marco and I would converse about what to do.

1st - the block needed to get to the machine shop and checked.
2nd - get the big components that were obviously missing. At this point, the Greddy intake and Transmission were taken cared of,
I still needed to get an exhaust manifold and decided which turbo I wanted to use. Marco suggested Tomei MX8265.

Exhaust manifold and heat shield


Marco then gave me a list to get of items:

At the end of January and beginning of February, I went to Japan.
Wandering Leopard 2020

The one last piece I really needed to get to pull off ZENKI Leopard front end was the hood.
I was trying to secure it and have it shipped on a container that was leaving February. Shipping companies would not take it.
Itabashi and Ogawara-san took me to N Style Customs, in which Nagahama-san cut a zenki front hood for me to ship. Cutting the zenki hood


I got back and started to plan my trip back to the SR20 Store!
