SLICKTOP Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hiya guys, thought I'd throw up a few pics of my car and a wee bit of info for those of ya who like the old 32's The car is a 92 twin turbo manual SWB SLICKTOP I swapped my old Evo 4 for my Z back in 2009, mates thought I was daft but I knew the potential the car had and value being a slickie so I done the deal with a guy of another forum The day I said cheerio to my Evo Also a BIG incentive for me in buying the car was that it had just been featured in channel 5's fifth gear!!! Still to be aired I took the guys word for it and he wasn't lying so even better lol Can watch it here: Or here (whichever works) http://emob457.photobucket.com/albums/q ... SVChea.jpg Some old pics: And then the work started................... As the car was a bit rough round the edges but structurally and mechanically sound (after I replaced the engine) I decided to throw some money at it So MEGA RARE Impul front bumper and new 18" ultralite speedstars were on first and refurbed the calipers. Wasn't anywhere near enough so next it was stripped for are full respray and some minor alteration. Sponge rear hatch spoiler removed, hatch completely flushed, Stonechip effect on sills and lower bumper removed and replaced with a smooth finish stone guard (on sills) Car Respreyed in original silver with a silly amount of laquer on top: Front hubcentrics fitted to bring the wheels out in the archies (small things like this make a huge difference in my eyes) Onto the interior.............. Tweed ripped out and replaced with grey/ violet suede and white/ black leather seats Centre dash panel mutilated to accommodate 7"touchscreen bluetooth DVD system which runs full diag/ data logging program's via an ecu talk interface plasma dials fitted also. Chassis, rear steer rack "HICAS" ripped out and replaced with driftworks HICAS eliminator, not a weld in sight Coilovers fitted,Front and rear Adjustable suspension arms still to be fitted very shortly The car should be running around 360bhp @15psi and is quite a hand full, these shorty slicktops are lighter and nimbler than the bigger lwb version but less stable so it throws it's arse out constantly, quite a lively drive Well hope you guys have been entertained by my post for at least 30 secs lol comments welcome, thanks Davie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
