parts i have sold/gotten rid of
mugen airbox
mugen twin loop
SR3 recaros
EK9 Steering Wheel
Spoon Calipers
TE37's
license plate
and ofcourse, the engine











how it stands at the moment..




bye bye..


just thought i'd be an idiot when i still have the chance..


anyway.. heres some new parts i have lined up for it..
nothing major, just some small pieces

































and my 4pt half cage built by Bonds CAMS Approved. None of you guys will know how big bonds is but they do race cars here in Australia
otherpiece is sitting outside in the shed.. to lazy to get a pic of that, but these will be enough..




still waiting for this bugger..


That is where my build stands at the moment.. hoping to finsih it as soon as possible to join the bandwagon of K swap builds

positive and negative feedback is welcome .. i dont mind getting flamed. lol
