I Envy You All!

[bradc]

steve, what about the bright orange car with the big bonnet scoops? That would work really well on your car

[Ethelion]

And as I promised, here's another update:

[bradc]

ooooh I've got the same front bumper as you, they look very good

[Ethelion]

The original:



..and after my magic touch:

[Kieran]

Quite a transformation!

Have you done anything to the interior?

[bradc]

Looks amazing mate, I love the paint job.

[Ethelion]

Thanx, I designed it myself!

..and I have done some stuff to the interior, like leather seats from the original sports-edition and some paint and variations.. but pics will come only when I'm done. ^^

[BraindG]

fantastic!.. i loved that car when i first seen it, now we know the owner, and some history top job.

[Ethelion]

I have a question!

Do these modifications look good? I cleared the turnsignals in the front and replaced the original brakelights with black lexus.

Let me know what you think, because I am thinking of doing this IRL!

[The Vee]

Those rear lights really suit it. (got the same ones myself, as have one or two others on this site)

[Funkstar]

Does look very nice indeed. Each to their own, but I think it would look the nuts with twin zorsts (one on each side), or even quads.

[Ethelion]

I've been working on a few details on the car lately, and I will be posting some more pictures shortly.




By the way, the Norwegian government is aiming to increase the import taxes over here.. so by 2007 I need to pay about 15.000£ more for a VR4.

[bradc]

You had better hurry up and get one now then

[d i c k i e s]

pitty the current car is not a vr-4. looks nice. cos then u could do engine mods and stuff but im sure you would have done some anyway. suicide doors maybe?

[d i c k i e s]

how long has it taken you so far to do what you have done already to the car and how much?

[Ethelion]

Hah!

Sorry 'bout that, that's just embarresing.. It took me a year to reply to this thread.


Anyways.. I've been doing some small but vital changes to the car since last time, and here are the pics:




















I also lowered the hoodlock after these pictures were taken.. so now there's no gap between the headlights and the hood..

Maxpower photographed the car this weekend, so that was nice. Maybe I'll end up in a magazine or somethin' ..


As for the engine, I am SERIOUSLY considering buying a VR-4 engine and converting it to RWD. Make a little drifter out of that family sedan.

[Ethelion]

how long has it taken you so far to do what you have done already to the car and how much?

It took about 1 week in total workload, but of course ordering the parts I needed took a "bit" longer. Also, some of the modds I've done were done one at a time, at random from when I started 'till present.

I payed 7 538,95 £ for the car when I bought it, and I've passed that ammount in styling it.. so yeah.


And yeah.. suicide doors or lsd lambo-doors would be cool. I might just do that.

You sir are a perfectionist! Looks great

[Johnny_Cashed]

Really nice car, I like what you've done with it, I'm not a fan of the altezza rear lights normally but they look great on your car. I reckon if you could get a momo steering wheel for it it'd be good in the interior.

[ralliart-type-s]

Looks mint m8, but I still think the wheels look better on mine!!
