The starting spec isn’t bad to start with
Apexi Induction kit
S15bb Turbo
Turbo Elbow
Turbo Downpipe
HKS Superdragger exhaust
Nismo 2way
BC Coilovers
Front and Rear cusco strut braces
HKS Turbo timer
Red stuff all round
Orgin front/rear bumper bumper
And genuine Uras Monkey Magic side skirts which need to be fitted again.
Nardi Steering wheel. Seems to be real, sturdy like but dunno how to tell tbh?
So we’ve already started stripping it out just to get going. Next is the job that everbody says is the shittest……….. removing the sound deading?? Thinking of taking an angle grinder to it then prep the inside of the car for paint.

So we decided to take the car out for its first spin in the Stonies on the 12th of May. We also bought a trailor for good money.
