So I recently bought this NA manual 2+2 , it belonged to another Zclub member and is in great condition.
My plans are:
- Change the wheels for something slightly wider and mesh design like a BBS RS or Style 5
- Upgrade the cheap coilovers to something better
- Fix up some of the rough edges like the peeling window trims etc
- Get a 99 Jspec front bumper and possibly some sideskirts
- Turbos
- Couple of other bits and pieces

First up.
If I'm going to drive a panty dropper like this, the mood lighting needs to be right.
Found the perfect spot for the LEDs where you can't see them from the driver's seat but they will create a nice ambience on the dash & console.
Drilled some holes:
Wired it all up:
LEDs in:
Installed:
Will try and get a good shot of the effect a little later.

Thanks. Yeah the color is quite interesting, almost looks dull when it's cloudy but it really sparkles when the sun hits it.
Today I cut & polished some bits that were looking a bit dull or had scratches, then waxed the whole thing. It's looking really good now.
I also found some factory turbo manifolds on ebay so I bought them. Going to slowly start collecting all the bits I need to convert to turbo.

Cool, the turbo change will be a nice little project, and will keep the cars value, and will no doubt be a lot of fun.
Keep us up to date!
There seems to be a few being wrecked on TM at the moment, you may be able to get Turbo motor with all the accessories for a reasonable price... no idea what they are worth.
Cheers Grant

Last week I painted the window trims that were flaking.
Went to Night Wars on Friday. Car ran extremely consistently, ran 15.3 something all night bar 2 runs. I got to third round of DYO but jumped the light by 0.03 so was knocked out. Going to go next round and try take out DYO.
Also, these arrived:
And I scored two turbos off Trademe a few days ago so waiting for them to arrive.
