Hell I love it

Looks so beautiful

I'd like to see the paint in the same colour as the engine bay.... a lot of hard work put into this build by the looks of it, paid off well.

It was initially painted that colour. BUT it just didnt flow right with the curves of the body. and was way too bright. I didnt want this to be over the top and standoutish

Oh and btw the car was completely done in house. I stripped, sanded prepped and did all mechanical work (including building the engine), my brother did the guard work and welding(helped out with suspension work also), my dad spray painted the car.

I really like this.

You know what would look tits?



If you were to paint the red valve color the same green as the strut bearings.

[Alexander]

Amazing!

Car is booked in to be tuned on Monday night.

In the mean time ive wired up my HKS Twin Power DLI (just to squeeze as much "safe" power out of the engine as i can).

I also purchased a new HKS Radiator Cap (With my CA18 i chose Tomei as the main supplier of my parts, the SR20 and Purple engine bay has swayed me towards HKS

So far its got.
