As i've been clearing out my "boy cupboard" i've found heaps of bits and bobs from the car. Although some may not thing the cars changed a lot over the last 3 1/2 years it really has (subtile things)
So.
I bought the car in June 2008 and this is the day i bought it.

Some may look at this and thing nothings changed!!
First things first. I learned to drive the damn thing! I had previously driven RWD cars in the past, namely my 2 Ford Capris. Those cars taught me about facing the wrong way in traffic so I was on the right path.
It took me around 9 months of easy going to get used to a 320bhp car and be confident in it.
With Marcs Car before it was epic
After that it was time to up the power!
The car went in for some BPU mods in March 2009. That was a garage whifbitz stage 4 kit with:
FMIC, Plugs, Fuel Pump, Double Decat, RR,Boost controller, boost gauge and afr gauge
All that was fitted and for the love of zeus it was amazing! (Still to this day i'm happy with BPU power!)
Then I had a bit of my usual weakness, after a year I get bored and decide to sell the car. After a few months for sale and a swift kick in the nuts from Marc/James I decided to keep it and start modding!
First up was the active front. This was fitted using the usual method of bolting to the rubber lip.
After that the chrome fest under the bonnet started! (This still hasn't stopped!)
Next up was the fit the diffuser i'd had for AGES!
And finally, the TRD spoiler I had been wanting for AGES!
More chrome....... (damn that chrome malarky is addictive!)
First SupraPod adventure
Next up was a new set of boots.
I really like the wheel mania wheels but i wasn't happy with the amount of dish that they had so the logical step was to go up a size for a set of 19s
My old man stole the car for an afternoon of "fixing it" and took it out for a blast and a few photos
Some more chrome came in the way of a chrome TRD brace and cam covers and i thought it the chrome was finished.....
New seats courtesy of an evo 5/6. This i think is one of my favourite mods to the car. Very OEM+ and fits with the style and colour of the car.
It was finally time to sort out the 4x4 status of the car.
A set of BC coil overs was purchased again from Paul and fitted to the car. (Along with getting shot of the TRD spoiler)
