This is my first ever car. A 5 speed 1993 r32 gts.
I'm from Australia and the due to the laws, I have to go non turbo. Stance is also pretty much considered illegal but thats a different story!
Got myt P-plates on my 18th birthday and was driving a Mercedes 190-E for a couple months while working full time to buy an AE86. Until this came up within my budget. Went and had a look at it, and it was sitting in my driveway the next day.
Bought the car completely stock, apart from a pod filter, disgusting height, shit paint and a flaking/peeling clear coat.
Now next with no clue about width and offset, just clearly about '17's or 18's?'. I bought these random wheels off eBay with the same stud pattern lol. They were originally white with chrome lip.
After that I bought a set of 2nd hand coilovers, Tein HA for the fronts and KEI Office rears. Also bought reddy/pink wheel nuts
I like to think I got the car looking alright once I put the coils in...
But then I took it for a drive. Me not knowing much about cars at the time I just bought the coilovers. Turns out the gas in the rears where dead, thus making me drive a trampoline with wheels
So I took the rears out and chucked the stock springs and shocks back in.
Stumbled across the 'Bunnings DIY garden edging lip', now with my lack of love for the paint and body I started to drill holes in the front bar.
Car was looking like that for a good couple months.
Bought 6k HID's for the low beams and fog lights.
With the paint on my boot being the worst of the whole car, I sprayed it in chalk board paint.
Did little to no prep work so it didnt come up very well
Always had it in my mind to buy new coilovers but kept putting it off so I took on some extra shifts to grab some brand new BC BR's.
Started following the whole hellaflush/stance scene for a while now and the whole 17x7.5 +42 was burning my eyes.
Picked up these 17x9 +12 and 17x9.5 +12 Rota Grids in sports bronze.
Didn't realise how much they would stick out but decided I'd go with it anyway and see how long I last before I get dicked.
Test fitted them and it didnt seem so bad!
Again with the lack of care for the paint I started to roll my guards with a trusty metal pole and a heat gun. Rear guards were tough so just used a hammer
Made my way to Winton Race Track on the weekend and atteneded the 'Fun Day'.
Was the first time on a track and was awesome fun to see how my car handled around corners on it. This is how the car sits at the moment 3/7/11
