2 years of Turbo ownership

Post by oldskoolhrdcore »

It's been a mainly pleasurable 2 years, apart from the head going :) lol
she's coming up to 200,000 kilometres and still pulls like a train.

It took me a long time to really fall in love and put my personal touch to her after I'd spent so much money on my last '2, which met a tragic end, but apart from wanting her a bit lower, its looking how I want it now.......oh and If things are good next year, maybe some D1s :)

anyway, here is the petrol guzzling byatch

Rev 3 GTS
A'pexi intake and exit, everything else mechanically standard

I've been planning on getting a bigger intercooler in there and a boost controller, not that I want more power, but so I can turn it down for my runs to work, as I don't need/use the power. but that plans an old one and Frankly insurance hikes puts me off, though I have'nt enquired as to how much a likely increase in premium would be.
would like to lower her 40mm as well, but again practicality puts me off, as at the moment I can park up any curb I like lol.

Id definately like to renew the whole suspension at some point, must be pretty tired, has needed a new power steering rack for well over a year as well :)

Looks evil matey :)

You'd be surprised what some insurers say; there's also classic insurance. If you're putting a lot of miles on it, have you thought about getting a runaround?

I may be 30 next year mate but I'm not going senile! Of course I remember you :lol: How is your good looking friend? I've been through quite a few since I met you but the current one is a keeper :) Speaking of which:-

Surprised I haven't seen you and the car at any other events, finally went to JAE this year with the mr2oc, was a good laugh :) Still waiting to get a turbo of my own & the rust monster is eating away at my rev3, poor things been through the wars. Hopefully will get it sorted in the new year :) I'll get one one day, lots of other things on my list 1st though!

Get some 30mm drop springs on it, insurers will never know and it'll probably RAISE the ride height - has on both my N/As!

Well I'm nearly 33 and definately feeling senile, i even have to go to bed early these days AT THE WEEKEND!! lmao

oh how I miss my old Azure '2 and oh how I miss that beautiful lady, stupid me back then dashed her off coz I did'nt want to be tied down, what a fool I am *sniff*

2012 Is definitely (fingers crossed) going to be my cars year ( and mine I hope ), so I'll be going to as many shows/meets as I can, so I should see you at at least one :)

how does lowering raise the ride height, I'm confuzzled?? lol

Thanks :)

I got a canon 450d with the 18-55mm lens, I'm in the midst of the learning curve as I've never owned a DSLR before, but all my shooting has been in fully manual mode, as I want to learn, I even got a reverse ring so I can do macro :)
