Back to disturb the peace - My HR31 GTS Coupe

[floody]

Yeah I'm back. A while back I owned a smallport swapped AE71, then a s1 T18 on some Japanese 13"s and cutties, and used to post here a bit... Then a certain moderator and I had a bit of a shitfight and my account was deleted.

Does time heal all wounds? I don't know, I hope so, theres always something interesting being posted on here.


Anyway, all the while I've owned this thing, from bog stock back in '04 in fact. Its an ongoing project, but theres not much more left to do apart from tune, new clutches in the LSD and paint.

Facts and Figures follow...

-Currently Federal 595 215/45 and 235/45R17.
May try 225/45s all round or 235/40R17 rear as need a bees dick more room in the back.

Body
-Stock bodywork, OEM rear spoiler, OEM motorised front lip, new genuine decals for lip and side strips.
-New front bar, GTS-R vents.
Needs paint from windscreen back basically, panelbeating around rear valance and fresh rear bar, but bodywork (apart from stopping rust getting a chance to take hold) isn't a priority.

Ongoing process.













I also have an R31 wagon, white, series 3, 5 speed....I'm currently waiting on wheels for it to arrive from Japan (17x8/9" Rays Sebring mesh), and collecting parts to start its build. Its just going to be low and mechanically stock.
