Ok guys, i had a members ride ages ago but it was deleted because of wakk amounts of spam, though i might as well start another one so i can get some advice etc on my ideas and modifications
I bought it off of a mate (brendo) who gave it a sound thrashing as a "drift pig" so the car was pretty worn out... i have taken it in and am hopefully going to make it into a reasonable grip car, that will be setup for hills driving. I also want to clean it up a little and make it look a bit more presentable as this is my thrasher and daily driver.
This car has gone from clean and stock, to thrashed and slid, and hopefully im bringing it to a tidy (ish) and fun car
Please note that the car is NOT setup for drifting, so any help and opionions should factor this in.
Anyway, here is a list of the current specifications of the car:
Suspension:
- 6kg front springs
- 4.5kg rear spring
- KYB excel-g short stroke shocks all round
- 25mm bolt on spacers
Drivetrain:
- Exedy 4 puck sprung centre clutch
Interior:
- Luke 4 point harness
- Dayotna fixed back bucket seat
- Stripped rear interior
- "ADM Nardi" :lol:, just some cheap dished SAAS wheel
- Disturbing oil pressure gauge
Wheels and tyres:
- 2x 14x7 +8 MA61 sup-rah rims (back junk)
- 4x 14x6 +25 BBS replicas (more back junk)
- 2x 14x7 -5 Cheviot Mysterys (front runners, borrowed! Lub you Aaron)
- Yokohama C-drive on the front (185/60/14)
- Random rubber (usually Yokohama A-drive) on the back (175/65/14)
Bedroom mounted modifications:
- Fender mirros (superwakk stuff)
- Front lip (pretty average, but looks better than the galvo front lip )
- Sigma Arms
- Rear bolt on flares
- Spirit wing
- Stock front guards (to reflare)
- Bigger carb
- Series two interior, black (how rollaclub am i!)
- Lots of spares
Short term planned modifications:
- 14x8 SSR mk2's all round
- Camber tops
- Swaybars
- Removable carpets
- Kyouteki braces
- New front tyres
- New shocks all round (excel-g are good, but not good enough)
- New bushes all round
I will post some pictures up soon, I have to find some. Its not much to look at the moment (imagine a rusting front lawn monument) but hopefully i can tidy it up a little... probably will just get written off anyway, but its all good, i have spares. And other shells.
The setup of the car so faris very basic, and i hope to improve upon it greatly, so please dont judge it to harshly how it is now Pretty much all of my money goes into the business and very little is left for the car, but hopefully we will all start to see some improvements soon!
Anyway, thanks for your time, ill include some pictures into this post soon to shock and amaze you all (HA!!)
Kind regards,
Justin.

^ In my hands lol. Its probably look a little bit worse at the moment, because im doing a bit of body work and am halfway through putting a new engine in, but its getting there. When it gets back onto the road it will look a lot better, have the bolt ons moulded into the rear guards to get rid of the fucked rear quarter... bit of rust fixed, new front guards etc.
WITH THANKS TO:
- Aaron, my best friend, business partner and fellow spanner spinner its true that he has helped build this car and i am very grateful.

If i have forgotten anyone i apologise, ill add to the list as the car gets built lol
mmm this thing sounds sick, but yah id have to agree with u on the shocks kyb excel gs are good but the agx's are betta, but then agian im shure there are other things out there.... sounds like i kool car i shall have to come see it one day.
Dunno about cool lol.... wait until i get pics up. Its the sort of thing that makes children (and myself on occasions) cry!
I wont be using KYB branded shocks at all.... looking into bilsteins or something similar.... maybe TRD's but yeah, i really want something with a bit more quality.
