it would have to be steel blue mica for that. atleast my authentic JDM plate is the correct plate for my car if it were in Japan.

the two Kanji characters on top are the prefecture-mine is from Chiba
the two numbers beside them represent the type of car-mine is for compact passenger cars above 1500kg and below ????kg (if anyone knows-let me know).

so atleast i have the proper JDM plate, even if its not from Gunma.

now my tranny is super strong. in fact its just as strong as Subaru's rally car trannys-because its the same one-the typeRA (race altered) close ratio tranny with 4.44 final drive. so now i am getting a new rear diff since my old rear diff was a 4.11 final (and it sucked anyway), thus it had to be changed for the new tranny/final drive ratio. i am going with the Cusco RZ 1.5way. should make driving the GC even more fun.

yes. i am basically waiting on a company to finish making a batch of RWD conversion sleeves.....they also have stronger rear drive shafts to handle having all power sent to the rear and get that power to the asphalt. they are supposed to hold up to 500whp. i have no intentions of ever passing 350-400whp in this GC, so the beefier rear driveshafts should handle the full power of the engine and drifting. the main reason for getting the RWD conversion is that it will allow me into more sanctioned events. otherwise the tranny does have DCCD so AWD drift will become even more enjoyable.
