Hi, (re) introducing myself after dripping out of the rotor world, still bery much a fan of the cars, I've had a few rotas over the years my first being an RX3 coupe, bought my car back in 2004/5 and imported it from Oz, bought it off a mate ( was in his family since new). Some will remember my time from before and the car, alot has changed since then ( including me!!) Anyway the car runs a bridgeported 12AT (genuine 12AT) with a garrett GT40 turbo, FC turbo inlet manifold and throttle body, subtle intercooler, 550 primaries, 1200 secondaries, 60mm wastegate (with 6 inch blowoff- onto the street 🤣) turbosmart fuel reg, braided hoses, carter gold lift pump feeding a 1.5 litre swirl pot then into a bosch 044 fuel pump. 3 inch stainless exhaust ( from the turbo back) into a stainless back box with a turned down outlet. Motor is coupled to a modified Supara 5 speed with custom tailshaft!!!

I wanted a 10 second car lol..... unfortunately life gets in the way of dreams sometimes and my two daughters were/ are my priority so the ol girl hasn't seen the streets for years.

No idea how to upload pics at the moment!

To post pics, click "attachment and other options" below and drag and drop. NB! Don't use the "Quick reply" function (it does not support pics). You might also need to re-scale pics first. I use this site: https://picresize.com/ and choose "Fit to screen 1024 resolution". Save to your device and drag and drop to "attachments" and you end up with something like the below. Looking forward to seeing your S122A!  :great: 
Hmmmmmm over braps

Beautiful!  :love4: Thanks for sharing!

The double pic posting might be because you have both uploaded and pressed "attach" afterwards. It's not the best user interface, but once you crack the code it does the job.  ;)
