    Default Adam's k's ps13 1jz vvti

    OK . so where do i start . i was on the look for a ps13 for ages and ages, i viewed a few in Ireland but none were up to spec at all. all of them had very bad body corrosion / rust problems.
    i was then contacted one night about a navy un registered ps13 that was in the country 2 days . i honestly thought it was a piss take so i rang the number.it was then i realized it was true and rising sun legends in cork (myles cooper) had one sitting in the docks in Dublin.. he sent me a few pics and the auction sheet and i just had to view it.
    knowing the car was 100 % standard ment i could start with a blank canvas and make it mine with a rust free shell.

    some of the pics i received of it




    and so into ireland she came
    in the docks and on the way home



    the car needs some minor body work as there is faded lacquer and minor bits. i was happy with it.

    went and bought a bride seat for it with a super low rail and a fmic kit.gave the bride a right good wash and she came up like new



    painted the fmic black and tucked her it in behind the bumper

    i bought a gtr style grille and got it fitted and painted .also have a set of red and clear lights in the post


    so as a mechanic myself i said id bring it to work and give her a good going over the weekend. the car is mint underneath , and simply is.. i didnt wan the irish roads to take its toll and i wanted a full rust free protecion on the arches and rust prone strut towers on the front, gave it a good underseal






    i was trying to decide what kit/ wheels etc to go with on the car so i decided im going with a 17inch rays te37 in bronze with low offset with all the original aero parts, so firstly i picked up this mint aero bumper from Japanese performance.


    while i had it in work i removed aircon,carbon charcoal canister delete, bov removal. cleaned out air filter. lowered the tein coilovers, sprayed the gtr grille.just a few bits aswell and this is how she sits as of today..



    i have big plans for this car. watch this space

    What underseal did you use? Great to see cars getting imported. Looking forward to how this turns out.

    Just cuz people aren't sayin it doesn't mean it didn't happen. Hopefully this one wasn't abused too much though.
