this is goin too be unreal ... nice work .. the spats oem or reps ??

they are reps, i had a set of OEM ones in auction in japan but just missed out on them, where costing a fortune, so just went with the reps, great fitment and if they get smashed I'm not too bothered

small update...

finally got my stickers i ordered from Work Wheels, really finish off the wheels, trying to source some centre caps for them now, not sure which style caps i want to go for yet



then took the kit back off to finish the rear undersealing, was only slight surface rust, but have it all rubbed back and treated and the zinc primered just have to stone chip it on wednesday

looks like a big jigsaw puzzle





rear contact patch for the tyres won't be massive





also got some pictures of the partshopmax downpipe, great piece of kit





and the turbo sitting patiently waiting to be fitted



got my turbo timer wired up and change my cluster lights to brighten them up, they were very dull and probably 20 years old, looks newer and fresher



also some pics of the car on a decent camera





probably won't get this on the road before christmas, i would of loved to get a spin in it before christmas but not looking good, few bits on the way from japan, and thats the last bit of money i can spend on it till the new year, will update when parts arrive.

love it!
currently sourcing works caps as well, are ya going down the "official" route or get some replica's etc?

and the headlights...is it just the camera/light/angle or do you have clear front ones? or standard ones just with a good polish?

Will be getting genuine centre caps, don't see the point in putting reps/knock offs on genuine wheels

The headlights have clear lense, had to split them, take off the old lenses and replace with new clear ones and reseal them

Still have to do the passenger side one so will put pics up

exactly, would do the same, why bothering with replicas if you have genuine ones


aaaaaaaaah knew it!!!! I like it but dislike it ha looking forward to see it all done!

Picked up these Greddy gauges the other day, have all the senders and wiring with them just need the oil temp sensor because the one I have is broke

Also need to pick up a oil sandwich plate for the senders

Got stuck into swapping over turbos during the week, I was told the s15bb was bolloxed so was praying it hadnt broken up and damaged anything internally

Took the old one off and the shaft was bent inside the core so the fans were rubbing on the housings

Took a video but can't upload from the phone will try again on computer

Anyway tomei installed on standard mani with driftworks metal locking nuts



Then got this lovely box in the post, brand new greddy intercooler




Will update when have it fitted

And another pic of the wheels because I love them


And then the back end with no bumper, might need to sort out a diffuser, maybe rocketbunny/bad quality style one
