That looks sik!!!!!!!!!!

Good progress Man, that colour is ****ing killer Soooo jealous right now Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

lol good stuff.fast work man.auto or manual?

He wanted an auto like mine with transbrake but when he looked at the price it was to much $$$$ for what he wants to spend....so he thinks he was going to head the manual way because its the cheaper option.... (txt me about it)

just dropped out all the front suspension and subframe tonight so it can be all cleaned up and painted. what suspension do you guys run any recomendations ? aw and yeah looks like its going to be manual probably a rb25det box .already installed the manual pedal box the other day

Talk to Alex for a suspension set up, do it once do it right and you'll never have issues with it. plus you'll have a huge degree of controll for future setup

hey guys painted all the new front suspension and subframe today then put all back together and back onto the car its looking good. have taken the motor to my dads work so the turbo oil and water lines can be made up and a couple of smal things done . also the adjustable cam gear will be all set up. so all going to plan should be able to get it all sorted during the week then next weekend the engine can be droped in. cant wait.

I went for adjustable Konis up front with Bilstein shocks and spring as well as H/D sway bars(springs alo bilsteins)28 front bar & 16 rear,All the suspention rubbers replaced with noelathyne,Adjustable caps for the front.as well as new spring pads.

turbo lines are all done now got a shock when i got the bill for $500 though wasnt expecting that much thats for sure and that was getting it real cheap. managed to get him to drop the price another $80 so that was a little bit better. just got to dial in the cam now then its all done

was that braided lines and speed flow fittings?

finally got the engine in today . it all went to plan getting it in there then mounted the old trans in to get the engine to sit right it was then when i discovered that the custom plenum was way to high at the front and would not fit under the bonnet.we decided to modify one of the mounts to drop the engine down so after alot of mucking around we finally got it to sit under the bonnet but ohwell at least its all in now. also found that once the weight of the engine was over the front of the car the new suspension is still sitting a bit high for some reason i guess ill just have to wait untill it settles down and go from there.
