    Just wondering, seeing as the scene has slowed alot in the last couple of years, what are people planning to do with their cars next regards mods?

    For me, the car is now only going to be a weekend toy so doesn't need to be practical anymore so I'm going full on USDM with it. Along the lines of this, although it'll be staying red..

    With regards to both my cars...I have a lot planned :D

    The EG:
    Fully stripped out
    B18C Teg R conversion (Engine, suspension and box)
    Carbon fiber bonnet and wings

    Then she'll be done for the track!

    The EK:
    Wiretuck the engine bay
    Paint the rocker cover some colour other than blue...
    Try get two Recaro's from a Supra or an Evo so I can be different from the Recaro's I have at the moment
    Carbon fiber Mugen or Spoon front lip
    Front and rear camber arms
    Beaks rear tie bar
    Uprated cams
    Hondata ECU


    So...much...more...wanted...!

    More of a want list than plans due to lack of funds and insurers being from the stone age:

    Quaife LSD
    RS clutch
    CGR CAIS
    Spec R intercooler
    Miltek turbo back exhaust system

    Mik's ST has the Miltek doesn't it, or is that a Mongoose?

    Yep Mongoose on mine - One of my best investments in the car, still puts a smile on my face with all the pops and bangs :D

    I'll be going for a new RS clutch and Qauife LSD this year hopefully...
    Maybe uprate the brakes after that...

    -Finish my CAI
    -Stick on/Spray my DC Front bumper and skirts
    -Steering Wheel
    -Lightweight 17s

    trying to get from this stance

    sglvsz.jpg

    to this stance :cool:

    7e7ab670.jpg

    mies already got a whopping 50mm down from a regular yaris, they really are like an offroader as standard lol :D...

    a few sets of second hand coilies for sale on YCUK, just biding my time :pac:

    some seats from an 97-00 levin too seeing as they look much easier on the eye and more supportive.

    thats about it, wont be chucking thousands at tuning an n/a, its pokey enough as is, and body mods just aren't cool anymore.

    Wiseco Pistons, BuddyClub Spec IV Cams, BuddyClub valves, valve springs and retainers.

    Sigh.... Anybody want to a kidney? Anybody???


    And Nissan Doctor could I get a spin in that car of yours sometime? :o

    S8:
    LPG Conversion
    Audi S6 grille molded onto lower bumper
    Fit some sort of LED DRLs
    Get some new style RS6 wheels and summer tyres, on the cheap though

    850CSi
    Finish my ghetto CAI's, got a collection of Halfords standard airbox replacement parts Im making into something "fabulous"
    See if I can route brake cooling ducts into Airbox instead to create positive pressure airbox (like a micro supercharging effect for NA engines)
    Install 12x 200cc injectors and replace FPRs with 3.5bar units
    Consider putting in a single Walbro/Denso Supra Fuel pump inplace of the twin Bosch's
    Dyno the above
    Get a chip (so hard to source on this car)
    Dyno this too

    Ultimately get it resprayed Sepang Bronze (or something else classy yet unusual)
