Bump for the hoodie competition :p
Couple of pics from a couple of weeks ago. Linked from FB, will probably disappear sometime :p
...
Thanks lads! Don't think anything can be saved from the tin worm in this country, but it'll last another while at least :)
...
Nice wan, more Galway heads :D Welcome!
Thanks lads! Still a work in progress :)
Couple of new pics. Should be collecting a HKS Hi-power cat-back for this tomorrow...

Thanks man. Car's not getting much use at the minute so I haven't gone near them. Should get some free time this weekend to fire them on :)
Cheers man! I brought it to Autoheroes last month, that might have been it. Wasn't really out much with it since it was painted. Only got it done over the winter :) I'll see what the skirt extensions...
The office above ours at work was being gutted and renovated, and I spotted these strips/trunking things being dumped...

Cheers man! It's pretty tame at the minute. It failed NCT again on Lambda this time, so I figured I'd get it remapped while I was at it. I picked up some Nismo 555's and an RB AFM and went down to...
...and this is how it sits now. Speed bumps are a cunt, but apart from that it's all good. It needs 10 or 20mm spacers at the back until I get some better fitting wheels for it, but it's taking...
Finally got around to lowering it properly. Was a bit too enthusiastic though and wound the BC's the whole way down. Ended up chewing up the right arch-liner before I got to raise it about 15mm. This...
Finally got it back and was very happy with the colour. Cillian O'Malley helped me out with a bunch of little things that needed to be done. Installing the BC coilovers and fixing a few electrical...
I asked him to paint the underside of the rear bumper black too, because it already looked a bit like a diffuser, so I thought it would work well.
...
More updates. Was dying to see how the colour would look...

Moar Snapchats of the progress. Was getting excited now :D

I was either going to paint it bayside blue or a darker grey, and decided on grey in the end. Wanted to go with a colour similar to this, but the BMW has Lamborghini paint, and that was a bit out of...
Got him to flare the rear arches too. I'm not a bit fan of over-fenders, so wanted to be able to keep the cars natural lines and still make it look aggressive.
...
I gave the car to Stephen O'Leary in Westruck, down in Galway. I think he regretted taking it on once he realised the amount of work it needed.
...
It was still sitting way too high up, but the CS2 coilovers were proper seized. I had tried to lower it a couple of years previously and they weren't budging, so I had left it as it was for the time...
Just before we went over to the SXOC track weekend, I got the front callipers upgraded to R32 GTR ones because the old ones turned out to be half seized when I went to put new pads into them. Rear...
After Japan I ended up working in Liberty Insurance for a year building their website. That paid for the turbo conversion in the 15, ironically enough.
I handed the car over to Marini Motorsport...
Cheers man! Yeah there's a ton of them on flickr, here
I won't stick them in here until I get through the engine swap and respray updates first :D
So that was grand for a while, but the next big thing was either to get it resprayed, or get it turbo'd...

Actually before I did...
The main problem with living in Dublin is parking space.
