i thought it was time to start a build thread as id been lingering around the forum for a few months.

got my gt in about october last year off the trader for 950 had a few mods when i bought it including the team dynamics alloys(which im not a fan of) FMIC(that was hanging in on one bolt) blitz turbo timer, mk 1 front bumper. a momo 320mm steering wheel (which looked like a dog had been chewing on it. some cheapo nasty guages in pillar pods that wernt evan functional and didnt evan light up. also has a full hks stainless system.

so heres a few pics as it was advertised on the trader.

so after purchasing it for a bit of a bargain price of 950 it became obvious it needed a few things sorting out which including rear disks and pads and front pads. also a couple of tyres.

so now that i was legal let the modding commence,

i tieded up under the bonnet first of all by removing some of the unused vac pipes and blocking up the recirc bit on the standard inlet as it was just drawing air in. then i decided i would strip off the AC so i could at a later date relocate my filter. whlst doing this i mounted the FMIC properly with the 2 lower fixings. also fitted a road runner decat pipe.

also got a OMP dished steering wheel off a mate who used to have a starlet just re drilled and tapped my boss to suit the omp stud pattern.

i wasnt tottaly happy with the standard seating in my starbo so decided on some reconditioned recaro evo 4s fitted them myself on modded evo 4 rails.

i got a cheapo stainless manifold and after about a month i learnt the hard way,

the flange was bent that bolted onto the side of the block too causing uneccasary stress on the block.
