Well... thought it's about time I finally posted up in the Members Rides section. This is going to be a kind of My ride/Progress/Project thread (and it will also help me work out where all my money's gone....lol)...
Updates quick links:
Update 23/06/09
Update 24/06/09
Update 26/06/09
Update 27/06/09
Update 07/02/10
Update 28/02/10
Update 07/03/10
Anywhere here's what's happened so far:
Completely standard when I picked it up last year
Then apart from fitting a UK spec headunit and a bit of tidying not much else until:
5zigen Miracle Fireball - which was far too loud and then was replaced with:
5zigen Pro Racer ZZ system, few more baffles and a lot more livable.
Next up a set of 16" Advan Racing RG's (that weren't in the best condition ever) + Some 5zigen Pro Racer Nuts... I detect a theme. Lol
Next up sorted the breathing out with a J's Racing Tchuchickuchinoko Intake:
------------------------------------
After all this the paintwork was looking a bit dull so I set on it with a Megs Orbital Polisher and spent about 10 hours sorting the thing out in my nans garage. . Can post the process & products used if anyone's interested.
Lights Cut & Polished...
------------------------------------
Anyway.. enough polishing, back to the parts. Meanwhile the car's had a full service + some socks and blue leads...
And some BC Racing coilovers to tighten the ride up even more:
Also the RG's were now looking even worse so after much deliberating I finally decided on a colour for the refurb:
CW White with a red stripe
@Japfest 09 + Made up stickers
Will hopefully try to get some better pics up of the wheels fitted...
