Hi Guys
Lusted over these cars since I was a kid and over the moon to be able to own one . I’ve been looking for a little while and I was fortunate enough for a very kind soul to point me in the direction of this.
It needs some love but it’s a solid and straight 97 facelift VVTI with an original V160 box. It’s at SRD now for a long list of niggly service and repair jobs but most importantly engine compression is spot on!
I am going to bring this close to my dream spec over the next few months and years as funds allow but a couple issues need sorting more urgently. On this visit it’s getting the HKS F con swapped out for the Link G4X and most of the fuel system is being changed. The turbo kit is old and not great but I will keep it for now before changing to a SRD/Precision kit. The brakes definitely need upgrading from J spec and I am torn between getting some new K sports all round or grabbing a used Greddy set that’s for sale.
Bodykit is not to my taste but I’m going to get it mechanically sorted before starting to source original bumpers and side skirts. On a positive note, the interior has had some money spent on it in the past and is a really nice place to be.
Will update this thread with pictures and videos as and when there is some progress. I have also just started an Instagram account for this and a couple other interesting cars if you care to follow.
