Been out of the fold for the past few months guys, I apologize. Been working like a nutter and work have blocked some websites, one being CVR4 /Grrr.
Also been browing the SOC, looking for some nice and simple mods for my new beast below. Always loved the R34 and have always wanted to own one. Have not long turned 30 and thought "if I don't get one now, I'll be too old to appreciate it further down the line", so I took the plunge.
Got a fairly decent amount back on the VR4. Guys in the garage seemed to like it this time, after my last encounter with a garage who wouldn't take it as they thought VR4's to be "too much like hard work". :inquisiti
Have a bit of work to do to her first. Have invested in a new downpipe, turbo elbow, decat, already has a 3" exhaust, HKS filter. Next investment is an ecu upgrade and remap. Looking at taking her to about he 350 mark. I'll be quite happy there and probably wont take it much further as it's my daily drive. Once that's done it's gonna be lowered and fitted with a nice set of 18's. Rest of the bodywork will stay more or less standard.
It's true what they so though; these cars are far easier to upgrade than the VR4's. So much more to choose from in aftermarket parts. Still really miss my Galant though. I really miss the way it stuck to the floor no matter what the weather. Far more dependable, but maybe a little less fun. Just looking forward to the dry summer weather to properly enjoy this car.
