Put a deposit down on it, and hopefully pick it up next week. Bought for me to use on track.... to stop me wrecking the Skyline so much. Fee is using that in TimeAttack.

some of the spec that I was told/and saw...

TEIN Coilovers
CUSCO ARB's and braces from what I can see - poss drop links too
Greddy FMIC
Greddy Hardpipes
Unknown induction kit
Uprated fuel pump
HKS hyper exhaust
uprated headers (said to be equal length but not convinced)

SARD boost guage
Turbo Timer - will prob sell on.
Adjustable rear wing
gay wing mirrors - will sell on and replace with something like wee SPA GT ones.
17" Advans.... one is dented though :/ Anyone selling one? Or know where to source one in the UK?

Interior is pretty clean - to sell
Exterior is straight but has a few flat bits of paintwork. Who cares :P

Plans so far:

* Service, check it over
* Strip interior
* Remove aircon
* Remove unused brackets etc
* Fit bigger brakes
* Fit 888's and source 2nd set of rims for slicks.
* Baffle Sump, Swirl Pot
.... then take it from there

Yeah, a lovely car, I looked at that a while back online.

In terms of sourcing Advan RG's your best bet is someone like Rick @ Endless. His prices are about as good as it gets. I can't see anyone in the UK stocking these Adam but I may be wrong.

Best of luck for this. I look forward to seeing the updates

Nice looking car 8)

If the exhaust note has the Scooby burble, the headers aren't equal length.

Good luck with it.

Nice one. Check whether it has the modified oil pump (most convenient to swap this whilst doing the cambelt). Also re-route the breathers to catch can and back to sump.

anyone have a clue on the make/origins of that rear spoiler?

Liking that very much .. the advans looks great - they are RG1's though - don't think the RGII is the same so you're better off looking down the 2nd hand market.

got it home now... had a wee run to go get dinner. Seems fine.... a wee noise around 3-4krpm that wasnt there last week. Not sure what it is but it just sounds like something rattling.

also got some spares... 6 speedlines, 2 fog light covers and a steering wheel boss.
