2.5 Mandrel System, Gutted Cat
Tein Sportlows
SSQV

No real plans for much else, mabey mags but i can spend 1G on other things :)

To be quite honest the only two yotas id trade her in for would be a MR2 Gen3+ or a Mark4 Supra. so yea, lol, the latter of which requires a better job
I had vtax :(

Since i'm selling my legacy we're going to put some money into her GT-T now, so we have a fast nice car.

WIll get photos up soon.

Dobi springs. It's ok. Bit bumpy but better than standard boat springs. Can't be naffed spending any more money on it tbh. It's even got a dent in the side that is covered under insurance and I'm too lazy to get that fixed.. :lol:
