Yeah its fitted now, presprayed it to check colour and fitted it later.
Its stock as right now. Need to source a tuner, the pieces i have got for it. Custom fuel rail + SR20 TB with plate (from here) + 4 into 1 powder coated headers + R33 AFM with HKS pod + dual cold air intakes + emanage blue + 2 inch exhaust. Might try and squeeze in some tomei poncams depending when and if i can find a tuner. Inside just got some mixmatched buckets on some ultra low bride seat rails. Suspension is lovells springs 30-40mm lower with whiteline front rear sways, panhard rod and anti lift kit. Strut bars to come after xmas. Brakes are standard N14 jobbos. Wheels are powder coated N14 ones with some pireli rubber. Tints are 15%. My fav part of it is the dash cup holder, that thing is just pure awesomeness |

Actually, chris' one is black isn't it? Damn i'd almost forgotten. Never see him on here and I don't think he's ever responded to an email.. ha!
Crumpets: If it were me i'd have powdercoated them white, but given the theme and the fact that white's also a bitch to keep clean it makes sense. Gold would've been cool too - would've looked like bosito's old one. ---dens |

The plan was to go tight on those bits and get JUN flywheel and TOMEI cams but then the Dollar to Yen went stupid. Luckily I got front bar, seat rails, spoiler etc just before that. I might still buy the CAMS at the current rate. With the SR20 TB, Headers, Fuel Rail, 1.6 injectors, 2inch exhaust, cold air feeds for the filter, R33 AFM and say the Tomei Cams it should make some decent gains. Any help would be appreciated, as I mentioned I would even drive it to Brisbane haha got a mate whos keen to get away from syd for abit. |

I am a fan of the black body white wheels or white body black wheels look but decided against it. You cant see the gold pearl in most pics but in person its insanely good, subtle until you get the right angle then its just gold. |

" yeh i'd have a look at it for ya if you get the cams. i wouldn't bother with putting all that gear on with out cams, as without them the gains will be pretty minimal.. cams is where its at.. totally different car with em. more torque, heaps more top end etc. next time i'm on the laptop i'll see if i still got the map, it was for ga15 injectors, impul extractors/impul exhaust, sr20 t/b and afm with tomei cams. |

Please don't spray the drums anything other than black if you are going to repaint them - it doesn't look that great when highlighting the fact that it's a drum rear-end :P Personal preference though.
Heh, I thought it looked a little gold from the highlights on the rear hatch in one of the photos. Would look even better in the flesh. Who did your custom fuel rail? ---dens |

I want to keep the wheels light and to be honest I cant afford new wheels haha
So N14 powder coated wheels will do!! Id rather buy Tomei cams and JUN flywheel than some new big ass mofo wheels |

That is looking great.
I reckon powdercoat the wheels white or maybe gunmetal grey would be cool. I don't think the style of wheel suits gold or bronze so much. |

Keep wheels small and light.. 16's don't go well at all in my books.
Gold N14 wheels, keep de-badged, gold tow-hook. :) Drop it an inch more though! Front bar is looking great. It's also one of the few cars that I agree with putting the bubble cluster rear lights on too. Maybe it's because it's black.. ---dens |

Yeah the rear lovells are stuffed, they stuffed me and NSM around abit.. rushed em through and they are not the right height
Need to revisit them.. useless asses Yeah I am thinking of darking the red part of the bubbles and leaving the clear 'bubbles' to match the clear on the fogs I think it will look pretty good like that |

Looks awesome mate! I agree with the idea of keeping the rims black or maybe possibly going a gunmetal finish. An all black car like that with dark tints etc would look a bit lame IMO with something high contrast on such small diameter rim.
I'd be adjusting your bonnet or the front right guard a bit though, from some of those pics, the front right corners seem to be out of alignment by at least 10mm or so! Maybe even your drivers door? I need to do the same to Charlotte, the distance between the bottom of the headlights and the grill is about half that of the gap between the bonnet and the top edge of the headlights. I can't really tell fromt he photos, but did you have the door and hatch handles sprayed also? I'd personally leave the badges chrome, and do the tow hooks red. |

I would not mind a demister button, the hole was covered by a fog switch (bought from uk ebay) but I could use the demister button for some other button push functionality! Go Go gadget rockets or something!
Pick up my lame number plates today also which is good fun |
