I'm going to leave it as it is, I can't get a photo to look anything like it does in Real life. Which is a shame

That is going to look awesome when its finished. Wish i had the skills/space to do something like this.

ac1d1ty · 1 Aug 2009 at 18:50

Looking very nice indeed. You are very skilled.

KnightStalker · 1 Aug 2009 at 19:20

Needless to say im jealous as hell, id love to do this, but alas money is the problem. Its looking amazing so far bud.

MarkLP · 1 Aug 2009 at 22:04

This is the photo I'm using for inspiration.

The Roof Lip Spoiler, Bodykit, Work Wheels and exhaust are all on our container from Japan.

I have a RB20DET engine wiring loom here and a RB20DET Romed Stage 1 ECU, This will have removed the built in Fuel Control allowing me to run a external adjustable fuel pressure regulator with GTR Injectors

with regards to the lock are you planning on drifting in it?

if so - where do i put my name down?

ZG002 · 2 Aug 2009 at 10:43

Yeah id say he is lol. With the hover craft kit and the lock and stretched tyres. Its going to be a pure drift machine

Attu90 · 2 Aug 2009 at 14:07

Looking great cant wait to see it finished.

agw_01 · 2 Aug 2009 at 14:15

What do you do for a living Mark? Do you work at a tuning company or something?

Good work as always

Gaijin · 2 Aug 2009 at 17:20

Can't say I like the "Skirt/Dress" type kits, but each to their own, and it certainly is a great project nonetheless

MarkLP · 2 Aug 2009 at 17:46

Thanks

Yes work at JDM Garage based here in Devon. I don't think I can post a link here but google it

To start with its going to be a road car, but with the intention of if I ever wanted to take it on track all the parts and work neccesary would all be done.

Today I changed one side of the rear, hub, camber arms, toe arms, removed the hicas system, braided brake lines, brake discs and brake pads.
