Hello everyone!
I recently picked up a totally standard Spec R from a member of the forum and have proceeded to turn it into something straight out of early '00s Japan.
The car was 100% original when it came into my possession, only having been in the UK for several months. On closer inspection it's about 7 shades or 'red' due to fading and some due to suspected incorrectly coloured paint having been used in Japan.
I collected parts for a little while, my focus being suspension>brakes>power and it now proudly sits on AVS Model 5 17x9s, Kaizen Force (OPJP) coilovers and a full compliment of adjustable arms with DW braided hoses performing duties on the brake and clutch lines.
I picked up a NISMO 3in cat back that was in need of a little TLC, the size of the tip is a little offensive but it sits 25mm higher than the standard system and is a decent quality part that provides a pleasant sound until power increases require a larger bore unit.
Otherwise, it's pretty much as standard and for now that's the way it'll stay until I feel fully confident the groundwork for increased power is complete.
I'll start a build thread and document it a little more comprehensively than this little intro too
