Team Chihuahua : Altezza Road

I was always sorry I sold my SR20 Altezza, it is the one that got away.

So with that in mind I picked up an Auto Altezza a while back, source the exact kit including the bonnet. wheels are 18 x 10 -1 offset at the front and 19 x 10.5 -1 offset at the rear. She is a genuine yellow so I plan to keep her that way, she will get a full respray, coilovers and an engine conversion next year :)

Be interesting to see the big kit in Yellow! I seen the car before in the crescent car park, looked pretty clean.
Did you ever consider turboing the beams? Seem's pretty common.

The yellow one above was sold to Mark Swords and finished. She was at Japfest last year.

I have since bought two more, a white SR20 converted Altezza and a crashed Beams one. I am returning the white one to an original Beams car, maybe wide arches with Meisters like the first two pics.

I have a bit more to do with my SR20 Wide Arched RX8 and RB25 Rocket Bunny RX7.

Also, I have to spend some time on my KP61 1:1 challenge car this year.
