Thanks for viewing my thread. This is more of a tinker and general repair, although most recent updates give show I'm planning quite a lot.
Picked up my car from a fellow forum member at the start of October, who kindly tidied the car up a bit by removing some headlight eyebrows and refitting the stock bumper as opposed to the Bomex one that was on it, as per picture:
When I picked it up;
The interior is pretty much almost 'done'. Superb JVC stereo, Defi gauges and controller, re trimmed in a carbon-effect look, EL Glo dials, Razo pedals, Edge Street double sub and amp.
The things on my list to change are the steering wheel, handbrake lever and gear knob. As well as eventually the seats. The sub is also loosely sat on the rear seats (I have them folded down), I want to build or move the enclosure though so I can have it hidden and have the seats up, especially now I've got a boot blind courtesy of Dude.
It has VS sideskirts and rear spats, I know VS stuff is sometimes frowned upon but I love the skirts and spats. Although I do want to change the rear bumper for a something like a Trial one at some point, as well as removing the reflectors from the spats. Also sat on some lovely black AVS wheels with blue caliper details, and sat on yellow Bilsteins;
Nice clean engine bay, although the car says it's on 180000ish KM, an engine with only around 55000 M went in a few months ago, so it's barely ran in yet! Several other newer ancillaries too - gearbox, clutch, radiator etc. Also running a full Japspeed decat system.
Plans for the very near future - get it undersealed before the serious winter season gets here, as it's my daily driver.
Get the cambelt and plugs done (already bought these, just need to sort out some time so I can go visit Swampy).
Tidy up the wrapping on the lights, one side indicator needs doing, and I may look to see what I can do with the rear lights too.
Look at the air intake system and remove some restrictive stock parts.
Other bits and bobs such as get the headlights taken apart and cleaned up - the yellowness really spoils the car at the minute.
Other parts such as strut braces, and a new front bumper or lip. I have to confess after owning the car for one week I pulled in too close at work and split the front lip a little on a kerb. Idiot.
Eventually either a full respray or wrap, and I want to modernise as much as I can inside. I have owned old cars before but the rattling gets a little tiresome after a while!
THEN comes the hunt for power, I am keen to try to see what I can squeeze out of the NA before following suit and going NA/T, but we'll see how long it is before the power bug starts!
A Super GT replica is a long term goal, but almost 99% just a dream.
Advice/criticism/pointers all welcome!
