Has been a while since I've logged back in here, not sure if it it still used or not but will put a little update anyway.

Have been through the ringer with a couple of cars, more than I care to go into but definitely have had enough of buying into 90s boxes. Was at a bit of a crossroads before I decided to sell all my racecar shit and invest the earnings back into my trusty betty.

Here is where it has ended up.

Engine:
Blouch 2.5xtr 8cm (impulse 2nd hand buy - may be shopping for a 1.5 again after the tune)
Process West Verticooler
ID1000cc injectors
DW65c pump
Perrin inlet
Cobb SF intake (50/50 on actually fitting this, another impulse buy)
Ultrex EL headers
Invidia Downpipe to Invidia G5 titanium catback

Suspension/Body:
MCA Red coilovers
Brembo calipers (front only)
DBA 5000 rotors
W5 pads
Braided lines
SSR GTX01 17x9 +38 wheels
255/40 AD08 (2nd hand for fitment testing - will be buying into AR1 or NS2R)
Velo fixed back seat
AGI half cage (still to be fitted)
Seibon Carbon Hatch (Another impulse buy yet to be fitted - noticing a trend..)

Engine and driveline is getting a bit up there now at 178k kms, but I do have a spare low KM motor sitting in my garage if things don't go to plan on the dyno. Gave it its first turn over with the new parts yesterday and everything seems good so far. EL headers and exhaust is a little offensive, but fortunately it isn't a daily driver anymore.

I'll leave you with a couple of low resolution potato pics.
