Oh hi.

I've been lurking here for a while for the wealth of motivation in the build threads and such.

I has a '96 GT4. Being in NZ, it is a JDM facelifted one - no trispokes here, though unfortunately noone in the car's past ever thought to pick up projectors.

It currently looks like this:


Anyway, hi, sup etc.

Oh, I have a build thread here, and am much too lazy to cross-post everything!

I was quite certain I had updated this more recently than 18 months ago @_@.

Stuff that has happened since I last posted:

Whiteline rear swaybar!


I greatly underestimated the difference in handling that it would make, which resulted in spinning out just after this corner here. Bum-clenchingly fun!

Then I acquired a TiAL Q BOV and had it welded to the intercooler


Cleaned all 250,000km of brown muck out of my radiator/overflow;


Acquired a 350mm deep corn Nardi


So then at some point, I got my projectors in:


Replaced a door card with a less crappy one (before/after):



Installed a hektik poddy and polished the underside of the bonnet

Played with a GoPro (over the hill I spun out on >.>)

Acquired some Fortune Auto 500 series coilovers:


Turns out that when you take the rear quite far down, you end up with around 4 degrees of negative camber. Lel.

Just the rear down (with 20mm spacers on the 17x8+35 RPF1s)


And then I had an associate take some pretty as **** photos of it (still no front coilovers in at this point. Some regrets, as I got the first picture made into a canvas):



Went on a trackday (with new clear indicators as seen here):

Then a whole bunch of time passed where it sat on blocks cause I sold the RPF1s and pondered parting it out. But then I returned to instability and started buying stuff again.

New bluetooth headunit:


And then after being quoted 6-12 weeks, but taking 6 months, these things turned up:


17x9+17 Bronze (AHG) Work CR Kiwami.

Turns out I overcooked it, as they're not easy to fit.

But fit they do, eventually, with 245/40/17 RE002.
