jon5698 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Right i have been on here for a while now and thought it about time i posted some pics up of my car. I wish i had done this when i first bought the car so people could have followed my progress. I bought the car completely standard from wrc car sales in 2006, and then soon bought some blue samco turbo and coolant hoses, hks induction kit and a sard r2d2 bov. I then painted my rocker colour blue but it didn't match my samcos, So i repainted it again and it now matches them perfectly I then changed the induction kit for an Apexi one which made a big difference. I removed the aircon to try and save a bit of weight, Then i got my 15" rota slipstreams in white, but discovered the car looked like a 4x4 lol.I then bought a blue isotta steering wheel which i had on for a few weeks but decided to put my personal one back on. Next up i upgraded my brakes to 3G 20 groove discs with EBC Green Stuff pads, much better than the standard ones lol. I then bought a jam fcc and field one touch coupler ready for when i get the rest of the parts to up the boost. And then a couple of weeks ago a painted my strutbrace and a few other parts of the engine bay in red just to contrast the blue. And my most recent purchase has been my decat pipe and my whiteline springs, both have been fitted and am pleased so far with the reasults, just hope the suspension settles and goes a bit lower. Sorry for writing loads it would have been broken up into little bits if i had done this when i got the car, hope you like the progress so far? jon.The car totally standardWith the samcos on and HKS induction kit and sard r2d2 bovFirst colour for the rocker coverRocker cover fitted and Apexi induction kit onBlue isotta steering wheelBlack personal oneSecond colour rocker coverThe strut brace and a few other things paintedJam fcc and field one touch couplerWheels discs and padsdecat pipeSpringssprings fitted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
