Well I'm not gonna worry about it for now. This winter I probably wont be driving it around much. I'll throw the stock battery back in if I really need too. I might eventually relocate the battery to the rear of the car...this things is very tailhappy, I need to weigh it on someones 4 corner scales.
Makes for awesome trail braking though...I can almost drift it around corners I've found. lol
Haven't had windshield wipers for 2 months now. I'm now pretty accustomed to driving without them and only Rain-X. You get used to it like anything else. It's cool going around corners and watching the water go off the windscreen sideways.
Still looking around for a reasonably priced vacuum pump. I want a larger one so I can do large panels without worry.

Correct. He didn't say anything about it. I have a rubber sheet over the gap its left so you can't really tell if their wipers under it or not.
Their is enough rain-x on the window where I have not had a problem. I do intend on putting back a single wiper.
Lol JDM I love it! (lol2) But you know I would never have such an un-areo body. Skin that sucker with a boat-tail!

I been driving my dads ranger pickup while I pull apart the car now.
But I got a B2200 pickup in decent shape sitting around (ecu computer died) that I want to turn into some kind of ratrod drift truck on the mega cheap.
Yeah living is awesome. My whole family rides Harleys and I appreciate 4 wheels on the ground. I'm not going to lay my P5 down by accident.
I've told myself, If I win the lottery, I'm going to build a fire wall behind the driver and passenger seat of the P5, gut the car, build a 20B rotary monster in the back of the car, move the gas tank to the engine bay, and build a RWD drift monster

I approve of that message. I keep telling my friends IRL that if I blow up this motor I'll seriously think about doing a rotary....I just want a rotary so damn bad, such a neat engine!
I cry when I see rx7 V8 swaps...makes me sad
You and me both! I love the rotary and have never driven, nor owned one. I would kill for an FD3S, but I have a wife and two kids and spending 10-15k on a 2-seater just isn't practical now. There is a drag racer Takehiro who builds rotary monsters and builds full fiberglass bodies that looks like Subarus, Mercedes, even a P5

I would kill for that car, so sweet xD
btw, someone messaged me about what tires I got, I don't know if I ever mentioned it.
Hankook Ventus R-S3 225/45ZR15 Extreme performance summer tire. (slicks with a groove cut in them to become DOT approved, DONT DRIVE FAST IN THE WET WITH THESE LOL)
15x8 Rota Slipstream - Full Royal Gun Metallic (5X114.3/e40/73)
