This is probably the update you were all waiting for.

3 years ago to the day I bought my car. It was busted in the front end, had 7" brakes, a tiny engine, and reeked of cigarettes in the tan-corduroy interior. I'd like to think I've done everything I can to rid the chassis of its former self. It's a shame it has taken so long to get this far, but when money is tight and you're putting yourself through school, not everything works out as it should. Hopefully it wont be long before I have the turbo spooling up.










Thanks to everyone for the continual support and motivation. It wont be long now before I get behind the wheel again.

Good job man.

I gotta catch up to you now

btw I didnt sell that LHD rack on you, I got f*cked over and havnt gotten my parts yet

 

Ha thanks, you've got me on the built engine though, and the correct turbo!

And that's crazy how long its taken for your parts. When they come in shoot me a PM, I still need it (even though the proper rack for the TME is the LHD RS 2.2, the GSR will do).

 

Dude! Keep up yo good work. It's awe inspiring what you r doing! C

 

If my parts dont come (which is the most likely scenario..) and youre still looking for a LHD check out this site- I emailed them and they said the DO ship to the US (seemed pretty cheap too)

They have just about everything- and if you give the part numbers off this site to a US dealership they can get SOME things at least.

 

Are you sure that's a rear fog? The UK cars have the rear fog in the bumper. Those look exactly like the taillights on my mine.

 

I was told those are rear foglights. Do yours light up with the brakes?

In other news, no real progress with the engine. Still working on wiring, and the snow isn't helping. However I got some new shoes for the car:





I never planned on keeping the BBS wheels, albeit their performance and strength, I wanted something different. Until I can find some TME wheels I'll be rocking these. Work VS-TX in 18x9.0 +33 and +34. Sits very flush up front, and currently pokes out in the rear. Should fit nicely with the rear flares.

 

No those are "garnish lights"

The fog lights are installed by Ralliart Europe, not by Mitsu. VERY ugly square light in the middle of the bumper. Apparently they're needed to pass inspection in the UK?

Heres one on an IX

 

Ahh heres a VI. Even uglier hahaha

Oh and if you're havint trouble finding TME wheels, Speedline Corse 2120's are VERY close looking

 

clean car!!!
