Hi

The engine has been some modified. It has a Nightsport CPU, Apexi Rev Speed Meter, Boost gage, Blow-Off Valve, Power Air
Filter, Panspeed IC, IC piping, Alumni Air intake panel, KOYO Sport Radiator, ZEEL Full tapped Adjustable Suspension, roll cage, new clutch and so on....

First off I will buy to new Sparco seats, some Autometer gauges, pully kit, new IC, Filter kit and stainless steal exhaust (maybe Blitz Nür Spec R, new piant outside and new piant on the roll cage...

Think thats all for now.... :D

Thanks everyone :)

Don`t know the name of the spoiler, but I will take more pictures when it arrives. Don`t remember the name of the wheels now, but I have it written down some place. Think they look nice.

Thinking about painting the car in House og Kolor Ice Pearl Red (kind of purple/gold color with some flake in it). The roll cage will be in gold, same as the vinyl (HKS, Greddy and so on, on the side of the door).
I may buy some Lamborhini style doors to, but don`t know yet. The list is long ;) And keep getting longer....

Nice Car... Really nice.

I think "white" is coming again...

Where did you buy it?

Thx

Peter

Post by: André on January 19, 2005, 11:39:53 PM
Bought it in Tokyo... And thanks to all the taxes in Norway it costs around 6500£ just to get it on the road. And thats on top of what I actually bought the car for :reallymad

You guys are lucky!

But thank you for good feedback! Think it looks nice in white too, its actually white with blue pearl... But my brother works in a paint-shop so I have to do something to it ;)

Post by: André on February 04, 2005, 11:32:26 PM
Started shopping today, even though my car haven´t arrived yet. Bought two Sparco seats, and a sweat Tanabe cat-back exhaust...
Now I need a new rear bumper, some temp gauges, new paint and so on... The car will hopefully arrive next week!

I will post pictures on the stuff I bought on monday:D

What about keep it white....carbon bonnet, and paint the spokes on the wheels black, or bronze??

Would look great likes this i reckon.....only a thought.

Dan!!

Post by: Freddy on February 05, 2005, 12:06:50 AM
Looks nice. White is coming back for sure. A carbon bonnet and GT wing would stand out nicely.
Title: My new FD!
Post by: André on February 05, 2005, 12:44:16 PM
I like the white too... Add some pearl and it probably would look nice. I`ll se when the car arrive.
I`m going to buy i carbon bonnet, but probably closer to the summer... and a GT wing would look cool too, but everything in do time.. So much to buy!

Nice car, crap taxes. Are you coming over for Rotorstock in May?

John

Post by: André on February 06, 2005, 12:49:02 AM
Would be fun to come over there.. The rotary scene are so much bigger in the UK than here. The car is probably not finished in May, but will it ever...?? Where is it? Could take the ferry from Norway to Newcastle. If someone else from Norway is going, I will too :) Will see. Need to take some time off from work and school, but that shouldn`t be a problem.

Andre

PS: My car arrived Oslo today, just need some papers before I can go and pick it up...

Here are some pictures of the stuff I bought. The seats are quite small, Sparco Rev, but suits me perfect! Happy with the exhaust too, Tanabe Racing Super Medallion...

Hi Andre,

Great looking car.  Keep it white, it definitely looks the best at night – every one can see it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I include photo of my RB Bathurst, 96 model imported from Japan.  I have had for about 6 months after a T2.

Hi

I live in Oslo, so if I`m going over for the meet, I probably will take the ferry from Kristiansand to Newcastle... Would be really cool to go there, especially if we where a couple of cars from Norway...
