Hey guys,
Where to start. Well i first bought this car around 2.5 years ago and since then it has gone through a bunch of changes.
The first things i did stayed with what i wanted to do to the car. I had to replace the motor because the old one overheated and also had the shortnose crank problem. Also added some cheap wheels, coilovers, mirrors, front lip and a few other things.
After that a few other things came, Fender braces, sparco, Jackson Racing intake, Custom exhaust, spacers, bootlip spoiler and more low.
Next up i decided to change wheels. So i got some grid v's and put them on as well as a new shorty console. This is also the point where i started piecing together my first turbo setup.
Turbo parts
Bought a new sparco, ordered new wheels, bought a cusco 7 pt cage
Bought a few more turbo parts, got new wheels in. Specs were 15 x 9 +10 Work equips.

Not long after that i decided to get the turbo stuff happening. Motor was pulled. New nb6 motor was stripped down and all seals replaced. Na8 diff put in and everything else that was needed.
Motor back in the car
So i got the car running on 12 psi. Made 219 rwhp which i was happy with Made up a difffuser, new skirts, and of course new wheels. This time it was custom re barreled bbs rs in 15 x 8.5 -8.

That brings me to the rebuild of the car. Two weeks later the motor let go so Stripped the car back and started getting it ready for the coming months
Work that was done:
Fully built motor
Custom turbo setup
Wire Tuck
Engine bay painted
Exterior painted
Flares
New wheels
Canards
Wing
Bigger diff
Bigger Brakes
Stronger gearbox
Custom interior setup
So put that all together i had a decent setup that looked good and i could thrash out at the track.
Made some wing supports

Engine bay
Without the wing
Custom interior
Cut the rear bumper
Decided to change the look up a bit.. i wasnt really happy with the fact that the polished lips on the meisters were getting hammered by brake dust and was always having to clean them.
Look the wheels down to get powdercoated gloss black and had some new stickers made up
Heres a few pics from one of the track days
Down the hill into Hungry
Hard turn in
Coming back into the pits
Parking up
Favourite pic from the day
Decided to do something a bit different with the exhaust. So i got my mate together and swung him my ideas.. He put it into practice and this is the end result.
