muddyell Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 A few of you on here may know me and will know i had an IS200....well thats now gone and been replaced with an S13. Ive been wanting one for years but kept being put off from the horror stories on the CA18 but ive decided to just go for it. Im unsure on the exact spec of the car as i havent really had chance to take a good look around it yet but the mods that i know of are:Full stainless mongoose exhaust (sounds awesome)CoiloversAlloys but dont know what they areOMP bucket seat (this is being sold)OMP Dished Steering WheelDiff has been shimmed but got a spare diff that will be welded soonHad a quick look yesterday with Mason and looks like there is a T28 instead of the original T25 turbo with braided lines. Also a manual boost controller. No idea yet what boost its running at as there is no boost gauge but i now have one ready to fit.The car came with a load of paperwork for services and loads of other reciepts. Im also fairly impressed with the mileage for a 20yr old car....90kAll welding work has been done but all i need now is a new bootlip as this one is quite rusty and i dont think im going to be able to repair it. I think this is the only problem so far Pics arent brilliant but i will get some more once i have given it a cleanAny suggestions will be greatly appreciated (apart from needing new wheels as i already know this lol) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 rust is the biggest problems with these, id get it up on a ramp and check underneath it, and the bootlids are common for rusting, its the only part that my brother had rusted onlooks good though mate i think we are going to be spraying my brothers on black Quote Link to post Share on other sites

muddyell Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 @templar - well now ive landed myself with a decent job i have alot of plans for it. First off will be more power so it will be running stage 2 at about 300bhp. I want 50mm over fenders for the rear and 25mm fenders for the front. Undecided on what wheels to go for but maybe some SSR Vienna's or Work Equip 07's. After that im just going to enjoy driving it i think@Russleh - mate my garage stinks!! Im dreading going back in there tomorrow lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
