Talking project:-amateur

well after a few months of hunting and waiting and asking for info and generally annoying them(cheers rob ). it's a 93 ra with a couple of bits fitted, like full roll acge, kyb adjustable shocks with eibach springs and pillowball mounts all round and race diffs on front and rear. was supposed to have had a full engine rebuild in japan with forged internals, but i'll wait till it blows up or i replace them, before i find that one out.

got a few bits to fit just now, but first ones are these....thanks mikee

a few pics of the car itself...



bodyworks a bit tatty....








forgot to add, it has an sti backbox

would love to mod this wee puppy...

my pride and joy

my one and only fan and even she has her back to me

couple more of engine bay and pillowballs


and one of interior....obviously


well thats them for now. over the next few months i reckon you will see one BIG difference, between body AND mechanicaly wise

comments(no bad ones ) are appreciated.

thanks and will be updating from time to time

Talking update.....just a small one though;)

well, the mods have started, but i really SHOULD get on and do the bodywork! the boss is away on holiday for a week, in a weeks time, so then is maybe a good time to start on that!

anyway, here's the beginning of the changes........

the boost gauge, as some people might not know what it is



the best mod so far and i'm very proud of them.......the wheels






anyone know of anyone who might want these?


free to uplift???

Looks good with the raceline wheels in white. You didn't half hang about before you got stuck in with the mods.
