You should make it easier...though more expensive..on ykurself and get a tss subframe and cistomize the diff mounts ;)

I think tony did it with his rwd foz

And so the box was only to support the floor..not the chassis right?

even with the tss subframe tony had to modify it so it fitted as they didnt make it properly.

the box doubles as support for the floor and a brace for the chassis.

Fair enough...im just of a thought that its not really needed as its behind the drive gear

Though yeah I would probably put an x brace in there if I was to do it...or just mod the bumper reo to make that the chassis support as I wouldnt put any weight on it in reality...but I may just wait for a cage

Nice!
What's the go with the blue at the end? Just a novelty? Or reverse lights? Looks alright.

MY00 Red RX, a nice daily that was sold off once the B4 became reliable...
MY02 Blue B4, aka 'The Project' - v8 JDM STi engine package and assorted other 'goodies' - Sold, then bought back for parts. Stripped and crushed.
MY03 Blue RX, the newer old daily, pretty well more B4 than RX now... In the process of being converted to the track toy... Watch this space!
MY02 Silver Wagon, H6 conversion, full blue/black leather and almost full black interior to go with it.
MY03 White/Silver H6 Outback, donor car for silver waghoon.
MY97 Silver RX, acquired to become track car, but plans changed. To be stripped and scrapped in time.

Nice, where did you get the LED's from?


I like to think of it as borrowing someone's car and driving it better than them.

They are not blue, just white, only the camera not being able to white balance correctly. and yep they are for the reverse lights 

 

Nice, where did you get the LED's from?

i bought the leds as individual bulbs from jaycar and then crafted my own backing etc etc and thats the end result. :)

hahaha i got lazy with stripping the interior and the car is pretty light as it stands atm, the grill is an aftermarket one, came with car unsure of origin, have done a fair amount to try and find where it came from but nothing :(
