Howdy all, thought I might throw up a couple of pics of my pride and joy. She's not much as far as engine mods go, but I'm pretty happy with her performance (for the time being!). Currently only mods are 9psi boost, cold air induction, exhaust, and reco'd gearbox with stronger internals. I've had her for about 6 months in which time I've been tidying her up. The interior was a bit of a mess, I've had all the hoodlining done and pillars as well as a parcel shelf. I also replaced the front seats with some VN SS seats. Chucked in some nice 6x9's while I was at it with a Rockford Fosgate head unit to get the tunes happening. I also fitted new shocks all round with new front springs, what a difference, feels like a new car now. For the future I plan to do a few things. These would be as follows (not necessarily in that order) New carpet 17" rims larger exhaust (3" all the way through, currently 2 1/4") out with the old motor and in with a new. An RB25 is tempting though I think I'll stick with the RB30. I've got a head off my old NA which is ported and polished and is just dying to be fitted to a new motor. Not sure what internals I'm going to go for yet. Front mount intercooler I think that'll do her. Anyway, take a look at the pics and have fun. http://www.cardomain.com/member_pag...7606_1_full.jpg (http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/show_image.pl?migration=1&image=http://images.cardomain.com/member_images/1/web/517000-517999/517606_1_full.jpg) http://www.cardomain.com/member_pag...7606_2_full.jpg (http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/show_image.pl?migration=1&image=http://images.cardomain.com/member_images/1/web/517000-517999/517606_2_full.jpg) http://www.cardomain.com/member_pag...7606_3_full.jpg (http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/show_image.pl?migration=1&image=http://images.cardomain.com/member_images/1/web/517000-517999/517606_3_full.jpg)
