aidanep71 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) I bought it as a near standard car with just a dump valve a ushroom filter and Rota grid wheels. Over the years we've had lots of good and bad times but has been by far the most fun car I've ever driven hence why I still have it over 5 years. It originally had the 2etelu engine which was getting shook to say the least so rather than re-building the old 2e engine I decided to go ahead with a 4e engine conversion so picked up a nice cheap gt turbo as a donor. Current spec on the car is:Engine:4efteMagnicore leadsCustom manifold and downpipeGarrett T25 turboK&N air filter just behind grillCustom straight through 2.5" exhaustFse fuel regulator5efhe camsAdjustable cam gearFmic with custom pipeworkHks actuatorExedy organic clutchBlitz dual sbcBrakes/suspension:Bc coiloversBraided brake linesLevin twin pot brakesWhitline rear arb14x6 rays ce28'sInterior:2 Bride graduation reclinersBlitz boost gaugeProsport oil pressure oil temp and water temp gaugesNardi wheelProb some more stuff I left out. At the moment the engine is getting Smokey so decided it was the perfect time to go forged so picked up some wiseco pistons, scat rods, 1mm metal gasket and arp bolts. Also picked up a cusco flywheel from a car i broke along with an oem lad box also have another box with a trd lsd fitted. Picked up some new 460cc injectors along with an e-manage ultimate too.
