Default My classic turbo, what you think?

Thought i would finally post some pics up of my pride and joy, 2001 plate mica blue classic turbo.
Bought it 10 month ago thought i would have a ful respray as rusty arches and dings all over.


How she looks now


mods to come - remap nxt week JGM hopefully see 270 bhp +.
paint wheels white or buy compomotive 18s in white.
paint splitter/spats/sills
sti rear lights.
tint front windows.
mudflaps.

nxt year mod upto 320 bhp - fmic/turbo/ect.
cheers lofty.

nearly forgot painted calipers in gold last week.

UPDATE - now lowered on tein springs 30mm looks so much better i think.
runnning at 268 bhp after my remap, cheers jgm.
tinted orange rear light part, untill i get my sti rears.
painted orange weges in bumper black.
changed sunstrip aswell.

Sort the suspension out & get some decent tyres before you get it remapped

looks really nice, a good save of a classic

tinted front windows though...leave them be and avoid looking like one of those Chelsea Tractor w@kers (and avoid 3 points)

Congratulations,, beautiful classic and the best. In my opinion the standard alloys are great. The only change to consider is stainless steel exhaust to make the classic last forever.

I love the finish on the calipers,

did you do them yourself, or get them powder coated?

Lovely looking car and looks to be in great shape. You don't see too many in this kind of condition nowadays.
I completely agree with you that it's up to you what you want to pay for a car, I'll always pay the premium to get the best I can find.
