Specs:
117kms
Japan Spec (Euro spec chassis with normal H pattern gearbox and 4.10 diff)
Koni/Eibach combo
15" BBS OEM wheels
2.5" single exhaust
Smoked lights all round
Tints
To Do:
New rims (17")
Install Dogleg & New diff
Take engine out for a clean up
It's a very tidy example but I am happy that there is work for me to do on it too
Had a bit of a play with some friends wheels to see how they look.
1) BBS LM 18"

I prefer the 17" look as well as RS rather then LM's.
I am also going to keep an eye on ebay on some Style 5's, which are like RS's but without stepped lip. for now i have ordered some bits to freshen up the engine as well as given my OEM seats to be retrimmed in leather.
then plan is to put the dogleg box in and 3.7 diff ratio
This is where it gets fun :)
Been doing some work to the old girl. i figure any maintenance work done to this model will only increase the value of the car, as well as make me get to know her better
basically plan is to swap the dogleg and new diff, then refresh engine (cosmetic mainly), all new bushes, paint chassis... here s the progress :
getting her ready
on its way out
done
rear end
front
chassis before
after
engine
50/50 manifold
bit more progress
new diff 3.73
50/50
almost at the end! cant wait to drive her again!!
bit more progress
changed sump gaskets and Turner's Oil baffle kit.
New studs for the 50/50 manifold
Engine slowly coming back together
Finally after about one month of being out of the car, she is back in
