Thought i would start a Little now and then Thread on my car, as i have spend quite a few quid on her now.

Here is what i have been doing today

Before




During




After









Much better Seats IMO

Anyway,

When i brought her she looked like this: (not my look at all!) only brought as it was MINT,




anyway a week after owning it i started my modding to make it look better and how i wanted it to look

i brought some new wheels and Styleing bits, P1 Splitter, STI v6 Spoiler Etc.

after a week or so it looked like this (getting there)







Had some ideas but decided not to



Then came some more Styleing bits (Fog Covers, STI REAR LIGHTS H.i.Ds, 22b Vents ETC)







It then was time to get her detailed by 2clearbuckets matt Top job






I then had some Ideas for upping the power to where i wanted it so i thought gauges was a good by to keep things in check





I went for some LIMO Black Rear tints






More power = Bigger Zorst System, be bye hayward and scott, Hello NUR SPEC R






i then thought as its nice and clean, with stone chips on the front end it need a front end respray so had this done (aprt from the fog covers)







I then Decided i dont like my Allots i brought so i brought a new set, along with TEIN S-TECH Springs









Then came long Power (New Turbo, STI 8 Intercooler, walbro Etc APEXI POWER FC ECU SYSTEM) VIEW MY GARAGE FOR SPEC!











all my work was carried out by MOCOM RACING (Mocom Racing - Performance car and trackday products)

There is Prob loads i have missed but thats from the top of my head

THEN:

Awesome transformation. I really do love a nice looking classic!

nice job mate

 

lovely looking classic that (and nice inovit torques too, i've got the same ).

had a look round your car at Brands on Sunday

 

You've had a busy spell there as well looking good

 

Cheers guys, some money has gone in to it now, but well worth it, i just been out there cleaning again

Some of the best visual money if not the best I spent on mine was a pro paint correction when we had a group buy for a detailer, I know how difficult it is to keep that colour looking fresh.

Here's a taster,





Worth saving up for trust me

 

i have had it done once by Matt, and once myself which came up nice, but i didnt Seal it so needs doing again

This is what i done

BEFORE



After

 

Might pm you for some tips if you dont mind mate.

 

You've cracked it already then

This colour is a sunshine colour for sure and when cleaned well it really stands out, recently I used dodo juice on mine and it seems to like the paintwork... it's all about budget talking waxes so lets not go there

 

HAHA yeah,

once the weather cools down a touch im gonna get out there and do it again and Seal it this time, then should stay nice and stop the Swirl marks etc
