Hi Guys,

before the accident and colour change

https://goo.gl/photos/cpJxP5PmtqLtbny2Ai know it doesn't look that bad but everything was buggered.
Complete new front end (repo panels are #OOPS#!) Paint is Grigio Telesto a Lambo colour. Went all out and used ppg as insurance was paying. Its actually a pearl/metallic and pics don't do it justice. I first saw this colour on an rx3 featured on Jay Leno's Garage
While it was all out i powder coated all the front trim gloss black, head light surrounds and anything else removable.
Cooler piping, radiator mouting plate etc is powder coated matt black. Strut brace is powder coated gunmetal.
Paint pics etc
Decided to re-support the panel for some extra strength.

Specs are 15x7 +12 up front with supafatto coilovers, 15x8+4 on the rears. Rolled/Lipped guards all round. Since this image i have lowered the car more all around for the flush stance sort of look. Its still totally practical with no rub etc.

Changing turbos etc is on the cards very soon as I've run out of turbo with the gt2860rs. So customs tanks, new piping for the radiator etc etc etc.
Any as it is:
https://goo.gl/photos/km5FxB7cAdsZNP1h7With the fast approaching wet season I'm keen to not be driving this daily, so i have purchased a mint series 3 rx7 due for delivery october...13b extend port, 48mm ida weber, lsd and AIR CON! much needed in the tropics.
Ive also installed koi adjustable rear shocks, added an extra half leaf to the rear to assist with tramp. It has sort of worked but i have a set of Caltracs to install ASAP.
Upgrade my tailshaft to something bigger and tougher. Sorted some boost issues out and is pulling hard as! Off to the track end of oct to test everything again :)
Thanks for reading!
