Rewind to 2005,

When i got the car overall it was more than 1/2 finished. Certain area's of the car had been paid more attention than others and i wanted 2 try & even that all out. I could see a lot of money had already gone into the car as the previous owner had had the car for 7 years & turned it from stock to how it is in the photo's below.

 

These mods were done 2 the car when i got it.

EXTERIOUR-:
Blue paint with a pink pearl (VERY nice paint job).
Modified Evo 5 front bar.
Online performance side skirts.
Blue under car neons.
Tinted windows.
17inch Advanti wheels.

INTERIOUR-:
Sparco EVO seats.
RPM Harnesses.
Retrimmed rear seat.
Retrimmed door trims.
Retrimmed rear arm rests & rear speaker covers.
4 autometer gauges, oil press, oil temp, fuel press, boost.
Silver painted dash pieces.

ENGINE-:
Rebuilt JAP spec B6(1.6l) engine.
Ported & polished head.
Highflowed Vj6 Turbo.
Custom turbo manifold.
600x300x50 FMIC
K & N Pod style air filter.
GFB Trumpet & Return blow off valve.
Turbosmart bleed valve, set to 13psi.
Malpasi fuel regulator.
Vl turbo fuel filter.
125psi external fuel pump.
Surge tank.

STEREO-:
was crapy so i wont bother naming bits.

 

 

October 2005.
