    Default This One's A Keeper!

    Basically, over the last year i have had 5 *E7*'s. which, really none of them tickled my fancy.

    I had spent the last year or so eyeing off this car, which was owned by a friends grandfather. I have talked to a few people, that had given him reasonably priced offers for it, but he just replied to all them of them that " he wouldn't ever sell it. So basically i was talking to a couple of friends, and it arose that it was for sale with a ridiculously low price tag, i couldn't give it up. So i bought it a week after.

    Basically,It's done 406,XXX km's and has had an engine rebuil about 140,00km's ago. it was in a prang before i got it, which bent the rear bumper and tailgate. since then i have straightened the rear bumper and bought a new tailgate.

    Plans are(In distant future):
    20V 7AGTE with ITB's and worked off its ass OR 2TC with itb's and also worked off its ass
    15x8 or 9 Mk.1's or Mk.2's for the front
    15x9 or10 " " for the back
    coilovers all around
    Rear 4 link setup with disc rear end
    Madhouse front lip
    Quadlights
    Bolt on flares
    Complete Bare metal respray in original white
    Roll cage
    Seam welded
    and alot of other bits and pieces

    But for now:
    Respray the front panel behind the front bumper
    respray the tailgate
    flip the leaves
    cut a coil off the front springs
    Dori Dori pipes I made at skool
    Extractors
    A general clean and polish
    new front seats
    new diff
    5 speed box

    I'll let the pics do the talking:


    Dori Dori Pipes:

    Nice little pick up

    If you do go down the route of 2TG with ITB's chat with the guys at Fours n More. They should be able to help you out fairly easily, pretty sure they are currently doing one now with 50mm throttles.

    Cheers Ross

    time for a bit of an update..
    I got a pair of 13x7.5 SSR superstars and a pair of 13x7 watanabe's dirt cheap, so i put them on. it will be lowered in a few weeks, not too keen on cutting the springs cos because theyre soft enough as is. I've started polishing the pipes also... will probly be doing a whole new exhaust sometime soon to go with the extractors that should arrive next week...
