Default Irish Newbie (EK4 SiR)

Hi guys ive been on HT for a while, mostly reading up, just thought id introduce myself my names Anthony and i live in Ireland. I currently drive an EK4 SiR that i imported myself from Japan, the car is pretty standard the upgrades are:
-Tein Master control, Type flex
-Gab front brace
-5zigen Miracle Fireball Cat back
-Top fuel intake with a cold air feed
-Driver Recaro on lowered Bride rail
-Volk CE28Ns with Toyo R888s
-Endless/spoon pads on OEM setup

I love the car as is, and for the minute im happy enough power wise for the time being. After taking my car to the Nurburgring i really want to focus on tightening up the rear of the car and on a good fast-road brake setup, so ill be looking for some advice . then ill look at either power mods or a new engine (more than likely a B18 from an ITR) My car isnt to everyones taste but i like it any way here she is, enjoy.............









and the obligatory track shots

Having fun with a porche, or was it the other way around

I've heard several people, including people on this board say that this generation is "too fat" "looks too much like a Z" blah blah blah. Whatever.

ive got OSRAM night breakers for headlights and white LEDs for side lights, they kinda came out more blue than they really are in that picture, i really like them plus they look alot better than standard bulbs when running with the OSRAMs
