Craftsqure Side Mirrors Install (4-15-16)
It's been a long time since my last update, but since my trip from Japan, nothing has been done to the car. I've really been busy lately with no time to go to the track. I did however, order some Craftsquare carbon side mirrors during my stay in Japan.
Craftsquare sure does take their time when making side mirrors as I had to wait 3 months to finally get mine.
Some may remember me installing a similarly designed carbon mirror which I had to DIY some mounts for the 86. This time I decided to just buy the originals.
Comparing the copies from the originals, it is apparent that the mount from the Craftsquare mirrors are light years ahead. They feature locking nuts with allen screws to really hold you side mirror settings. The copies would move when you hit a pothole, as the mounts do not have locks on them.
Install was pretty easy since I already did this the last time. If this is your first time expect to do it in about 2 hours.
On another note, my car suddenly developed an appetite for V-belts.
I found that my supercharger belt sheared off again when it jumped a groove on some pullies. After changing the belt, it happened again the next day. Taking the supercharger off, I discovered that both idler pullies were shot. I replaced the pullies and the belt eating has stopped.
I also was lucky enough to get some Speedhunters airfreshners during the tokyo auto salon.
