It wasn't bad but there was room for improvement, first i set about talking off the stickers on the bumper. Then off came the 98 spec steering wheel, which was replaced by a momo one:)

Next to go on were the coloured wheel nuts and the carbon intake slug along with some Mugen socks

My next mod was only small, some clear side indicators as i hated the amber ones.. And here are a few snaps i took a few weeks ago then after that work was complete!!

In the last 3 weeks gone i have since fitted a decat, and a Mugen Twin Loop Cat Back Exhaust, and a spoon rear strut. But have no pics of these just yet..
Just last week i also gave the car a full remap on a new ECU, Which includes an anti theft feature, delimits the speedo, increases RPM limit, maps the car itself and also includes launch control!! Getting it dyno'd now in the next two weeks so can't wait for them figures!! Have lots more in mind, will get up pics under the car of the exhaust, etc in time hope.. Watch this space!

As it stands Now this is the current spec;
Interior
Recaro interior
genuine teg r mats
momo steering wheel
kenwood double din head unit

Exterior / Performance
15'' Rota Slipstream Rims,
Carbon slug intake
mugen reservoir socks

Juran Thermostat,
Exedy Racing clutch
12000k HID's
Neptune ECU

Suspension

Yeah, its serious job alright.. Will do though, hoping to get that done saturday week so ya, the fella that maps it thinks its over 190 anyways so as long as thats right i'll be happy as they all lose the horsies as the years go by!!
 
Really nice. Although is having cotton things under the engine a bit of a fore hazard?
 
some big updates to be made on this thread, forgot i had one! A lot of work has been done since;)
 
Thats a mint teg you got there :D .

Should get a vid up of the launch control... it sounds brutal :p
 
Time for an update on this, since i have last updated i have scrapped the standard spoiler and front splitter, and opted for a carbon look, with carbon spoiler and carbon mugen lip
