Cheers JV

Well i'm new to the site but thought I would share my progress so far.

This is how she looks completely standard:

Nothing changed what so ever, first this I decided to do was the suspension. Coilovers ordered and fitted

Now sitting nice and low

Recently had issues with the front tyres where it looks like the previous owner had punctures and ran them for ages, ruined the tyres then had the puncture repaired ( so says national tyres ) sooooo I bought two new front tyres, stuck with what i know which is Toyo T1R's.

I need an air Jack, these things are awesome!!!

also bought myself a AGU charge pipe which i believe is better than the AUM one and also bought a forge diverter valve for peanuts

All comments are always welcome and I hope you like!

little bit of an update, the charge pipe and the dv have been fitted, little bit of an engine bay clean up and the coilovers have bedded in now, exhaust will be fitted in april and the car mapped by rtech in may for hopefully some good power!

The thermostat decided to stop working so had that changed, whilst under the car we notice that the wishbones could do with a good change as the old ones looked like this:

The ride height has had to be wound up a bit because it was rubbing on the roll bar so need a new r32 one next, now for some shots of her nice and clean ( the mirror cover is being painted )
