MrMartinPGrant Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Where do I start, well I bought this car completely standard, I've never been one for OEM styling. The front bumper is a one off, lots of cutting and 2 weeks work to get it looking how I wanted, it was a rep Nismo N1. It's been smoothed and a new grill added to the top. The Rear Bumper is a Ings N-Spec, with bumper tuck. I Added light brows. I lowered it on 30mil springs, but it's now been put back on OEM springs, as twice I ripped off the front bumper off on speed ramps. The Roof has been painted black. I added Black vinyl to each side of the car. Center Console has been colour coded sunset orange. The OEM Car stereo has been replaced with a clarion car stereo, no CD player in this, it uses SD cards and I Bluetooth stream my music from my blackberry to it. I can't remember the name of the wheels, They are 9.5" - 18s with 255-45-18 rubber at the back And 8.5"-18s with 225-40-18 rubber at the front, These wheels were polished steel but I had them power coated black. And 30mil spaces front and back. I fitted a full K&N Typhoon intake; this has also been modified, as it now takes cold air from the top grill on the front bumper and not from the bottom grill. The Exhaust is a K1 and yes it's loud, just how I like it. I don't actually know what power this car is putting out, I would think it's around 300 Bhp, I'm done with engine work and trying to squeeze every bit of power out of an engine, It's a 3.5L V6 and it does me just fine, I promised myself I would not do any engine work to this car. As long as I can kick the ass out for a bit of sideways action and it looks good to me, I'm happy with it, As for the ride and comfort in this car, I can only say, it feels solid but it kicks the ass out a lot, that would be down to my driving and not the cars setup, it's certainly not one of the most comfortable cars I've owned or driven but it certainly is one of the best to drive, it's a fun car. It's never been on a track to race or drift, racing just doesn't do it for me, I'd rather have a bit of drifting or diffing, sideways or going round in circles is more fun for me haha update C/F Wrap on bonnet and light eyebrows. at DW Autos getting new bits put on New upgraded clutch line.
