yeah saving up for conversion but im peed off cos i still owe dad cash , mihgt just go for the legacy gt cut rather than wrx so its softer on the pocket .. and to cut my teeth on it .. what you doing with your other conversion?

[rec01l]

shes still up for sale, i need the $$ for uni this year, and i think im jus being greedy, its hardly ever driven now which is sad. GT cut = Closed deck block, mate to some STI heads and a nice turbo is a recipe for some fun!

[BenTZ]

it was me :D

[rec01l]

hats off to ben for the front bar!
As for the rims they came with the car and they look bettewr than stock (not by much) and i havent really begun exterior work. When i do they will be replaced by some racey rims, probably Enkei RP03.
Baz the dice were a gift from my little sister when i first learnt to drive so they will always be in one of my cars and the dint in the cooler is a timely reminder to check the height of your coilovers before your core onto the jack handle ;)

[Fatz]

very nice mate. possibly the nicest one ive seen. love the blue under the bonnect

[Akira]

I think im missing something - you have an FMIC, but looks like you have a secondary TMIC? Is that right?
Having said that, very well turned out!

[Mr Suave]

I believe that thats the oil cooler yeah?

[BenTZ]

oil cooler;) looking good nath

[RS-TERMINATOR]

Looks sweet mate. The girl in the back ground looks like she is ready for war!

[timmo]

Big fan of this car.Looks great in pics....................even better in person.

[rs guy]

love the colour naif it looks sweet

[kezza]

was waiting for the owner of this car to post more pics...fresh as car!! looks like it was worth every cent mate...nice lib.
kez

[4ce_full]

its about time nath you lazy ass, is a beautiful car, the paint looks so amazing in the sunlight really see the depth and metallic finish on it, pics do it no justice.
dont forget that 2.2 is still sitting round waiting for you to pick it up lol, another project to add to the growing list nath.
nice car well done on it mate

[smoov]

very neat car sir.

hats off to you!

[ballistix]

Man, awesome lib!

Are those rear indicators cleared out by you? They look like they have been :P

[rec01l]

thanks for the feed back guys, im fairly happy with her, as josh said, time to complete the new engine on lowly uni student funds :P

The cooler on top is an oil cooler :)

And the rear indicators are like that on all 92 Aus models, 93 and 94 had orange lenses and JDM had no foggies

[Jim]

noiiiiice .. even nicer in the skin , lotsa time and effort here .. ahh the good ol days when it was multicoloured and looked like it had mouri war paint on it .. :D nice pose Ash and good to see Twinks snuck in there too! Hats off to the Naifmeister

[scrim]

haaaawt car.. one of my fav sedans! Love the wheels and the colour. well done.

[anark1]

pic 3 looks like someone isnt all that impressed ?

i for one love the cooler and the engine bay shots look great.

[Comper100]

Yeah that oil cooler location is awesome...very nice indeed. :)

[SRA]

Thats nice... very nice! i'm loving it.

[Zubi Zubi]

How does it go with a lightened flywheel, as I've heard mixed reviews on their benefits?

[rec01l]

zubi the flywheel is a bit to get used to, hill starts especially, but i put it in with out changing anything else performance wise and the throttle response was an obvious improvement!

[scott turb lib]

thats a great looking car mate looks like a lot of thort went in to it, good work

[scrim]

Does having a lightened flywheel feel like driving a car with a normal flywheel with the aircon on at all? IE drops revs really quickly inbetween gear changes?

[XXXR]

ok dude thats nice :D

[rec01l]

Does having a lightened flywheel feel like driving a car with a normal flywheel with the aircon on at all? IE drops revs really quickly inbetween gear changes?

I guess thats a way you could look at it, revs off load jump up and fall down noticably quicker than before, i dont notice the drop in revs much when driving, i tend to subconsciously match revs when changing up any ways. Its a good mod that i would recommend to anyone when they next change their clutch, its not hard to get used to

[Baz Sta]

i still cant believe u drive that thing on the gravel road with stones flying up and chipping the good paint.

[rec01l]

baz thats the joy of knowing the guy who painted it, ill just hit him up to fix it :D

[timmo]

I hope you did the same as me and had a few extra litres of paint mixed up just incase!

[BenTZ]

theres enough to paint another car there :P

[timmo]

Same for me,probably just shy of 4 litres!!

[rec01l]

yeah i think ive got about 6lt left, we allowed for the fact i need a new rear bar and another boot lid as well as extra to re do any panels as needed.

[PMP15h]

Looking good!

[so00be]

looks the goods nath.... good too see it on the road for more than a month!

[claydog]

Kinda liked it when it was brown and had a dented up intercooler,











Now I love it,looks fantastic.
Well Done Nath!!!

haha still has the dented cooler to retain some of its originality, but i kept adding new colours to the original 'scheme' i felt it started to detract from the overall appearance heh

[claydog]

Where did you get the stickers from??
Aftermarket/Genuine

[rec01l]

They are after market craig, heres the linky, down the bottom there. They are similar to the genuine ones but dont have the cut out lines in them

[scooby85]

i fcuking love it! :)

[Nathan|RST|]

Just combined this with your original thread. Great to see the progress. I have been able to see it in person and I do like the colour (not as nice as charcoal but hey) and the wheels.

[Marty]

is it in the form of a two wheeled 125cc monster?

[BenTZ]

one day it may rise again.

[Cookie_187]

give it a new heart and bring it back to life!!

[Loshan]

give it a new heart and bring it back to life!!

i think this may be very soon...by the looks of things... :P

[rec01l]

She has a new heart, just a boring old EJ20 with all my bolt ons, so she will rise from the ashes HOPEFULLY at the end of this week, ive been waiting for my fuel line to be fixed for 3 weeks now, with promises that monday is the day...

So we'll see how we go!
