My ek3 CTR wana be build

[JDM_GUY]

Hi guys once again from Trinidad & Tobago. Here is my EK3 wana be CTR build, the reason is due to the unavailability of CTRs. There are only 4 in the country and the people who have them are not selling. Unfortunately we cannot import CTR because of there age, only 5 year cars are allowed and I cannot afford the new CTR.We could only cut it in half and bring it down, so this is my build.

Before:

Suspension parts:

Car jacked up:

new strut bar and 15mm sway bar:

suspension with wheels installed:

Doing the suspension check.

Sitting at work:

Autox last weekend and the one before that:

Retro fitted headlight with projectors:

Got some new auto x wheels: Vlok brothers 24c limited edition:

One of the original CTR and ITR in Trinidad:

CRX race car:

Me and my mate after we won our class (1st place) and the previous one:

Stay tuned for more.

Instead of waiting for one of those 5 guys to put their cars up for sale how about doing an engine swap?

Nice looking replica mate! Good to see you're making the most of the situation you're in regarding importing regulations,would put alot of people off. Fair play!

Got the motor in last weekend, still on jack stands however. There are some issues to sort out.
