Cool! That first picture, is that how you're trunk opens? It looks like a wild modification! 😊

Yeah, that's how it opens, it's standard with the car. When you want the roof off the boot opens then the roof raises, two bars come out of the trunk and clamp onto the roof then it gets sucked into a pocket in the boot. I bought the car after seeing that. Very transformers stylee. 8) 😃

Mint,

Speak to the owner of Kingdom Developments for a nice kit, he owns a Del Sol....might cut you a good deal on a simlar kit 😉

Heres a pic of his 😮

[quote="Mint_Sauce"]:-? I spent �2000 on the kit that's on it and you didn't even notice 😞 oh well... :cry:[/quote]

I noticed the skirts and different rear bumper, what'cha got on the front? I think the intruder bumper looks great, although I realise some people prefer the subtle approach.

And the 2 words we are going to learn today are: 60mm & Drop 😃

It's a real nice car though, loads nicer than my wagon 😉

I drive currently an Integra Type-R which has been comprehensivly moddified by me 😊

I'v owned it since that past year and a half (my first car when i was 17) insurance has been a bugger but its been worth it.

so far its got :

Body kit
18" wheels
Mugen header/manifold
Spoon cams/sprockets
powerflow exhaust
Injen CAI

havent had it dynoed but i'm hoping i have around 215-230 bhp.

on my apexi perormance meter my best time for 0-60 is 6.1.

In around June time when i'm 19 i'l be selling out for a Skyline R33 GTR V-SPEC. and hopefully within the first year of owning it i would do the following:

GReddy hybrid turbo - increase power t0 550 bhp
Upgraded cams, injecters, sprockets etc = up2 600bhp
HKS intercooler = 750bhp
boost controller = 850bhp
increase in boost = around the 950-1000bhp mark

thats my aim 1000 bhp, then i'l be happy.

Thanks.

what do people think of toyota Supra Twin Turbo's and their tuning potentials ?

I wanna get a skyline purely so i can take it to a 4 figure bhp. and because with the right gearing i could be looking at 250mph tops.

I know its silly for me to get such a car at like 19/20 years old as what the hell will i buy after the skyline??? i dunno really, it would have 2 be something slower :cry: But what the hell, insurance will be around 4 grand a year under my parants name but its worth it.

I also like ANY jap modded car, civics i love em. But there too slow even with turbo's etc....

I could also get the new civic type-R with a turbo which would make it 350bhp along with 150 jets of NOS which should make it comparable 2 a skyline but deffo not a 1000bhp one.

i missed japanese cars and european cars. in the country that i am staying right now, wherever you look, it's always proton cars that you will see.

Got a piccy??? .. that mustang sounds pretty nice, what year is it? I'd hope you're doing 12s in blown v8!!!

See if you can catch up to our boys doing 9s in lancers the same shape as mine (2 litre turbo) 😉
