Re: Project REV5 Turbo ............ Lots of big changes
Looks so good! I almost want it lol. Don't think I've seen the front bumper finished yet though?
Re: Project REV5 Turbo ............ Lots of big changes
Haha cheers nice compliment mate 👍🏼
Kei office front is now sold ive replaced it with a 3sfe fogless bumper and a polyurethane aeroware for no other reason but that it will withstand getting on the drive and speedbumps better than a fiberglass bumper
Kinda gutted about it
Tbh after searching so long for 1

Re: Project REV5 Turbo ............ Lots of big changes
Haha thanks man
Rule number 1 never add up lmao
Ive just ordered a set of brand new from toyota all amber fronts, toblerones and rear lights as i didnt like the clear
Also replaced the fogs with original red 1's but also new lmao
Soon as i fitted the clears it reminded me of a saxo/corsa b from the early 00's when everyone had clear lights lol

Re: Project REV5 Turbo ............ Lots of big changes
well its been a while and quite a bit has changed lol
decided the clear lights were not for me and looked a bit 90's/ early 00's so they were sold for a massive loss and i bought myself a brand new set of all amber front jdm lenses (yes i kn ow there not road legal) and amber toblerones to replace them which should all be here from japan on the 3rd september
i also bought a set of jdm rears
which arrived looking like this
which i then rubbed down and masked up
then backed the outer rim
then this
then was time for clear
skip forward a day and there on
good as new also the clear fogs went and a brand new set of original oem red lenses are now in there place
i also titanium heat wrapped the untidy pipe work to the back box
i also decided i no longer wanted the kei office front so that was swiftly sold and i bought a 3sfe front from nails of here
i also bought a poly aeroware lip
wasnt keen on how bulky it was so that also went lol
i then replaced it with a fiberglass aeroware
all prepped and in high build
bumper de badged
splitter in the pink primer
bumper also prepped and center bars painted gloss black
i then found this for £15 posted
so bought it to go with my fetish
came a little dul and scratched so i done what ive done with all my carbon and wet flat and lots of clear uv protection 2k laquer
rear was a mess
so rubbed back and painted
and fitted
and although my bonnet from epr was great it wasnt as great as i wanted lol so i wet flatted that also
and it got 5 coats of clear also
next day when dried
still wasdnt happy so ive wet fat again and added 2 more coats and its now like glass
i also decided the rota torques were not for me and set mysef a budget of £1300 for new wheels true jdm wheels
i thought i would have so much choice, but sadly this was not the case. I found a set of genuine bbs lm's which i was so close to buying aswell as a few sets of split rim rh zw1 and rh zw3 which al up close were a mess and almost £1000 so i was starting to give up
workmeister s1 was my first choice followed by work equips but i wanted bigger dishes lol
i was also set on split rims but after no luck and people swaying my opinions of splits being weaker and so on
i found a set of bare alloy strippes perfect condition PIAA NAKAJIMA RACING true jdm dished wheels
specs are 5x114.3 17" 8j front et35 9j rear et38 so perfect
and front dish is 3.25" rear 4.25" :O :O perfect
theremissing the center caps but ill find some or something
plan is bbs gold centers and mirror polished dishes
tyres im going for
215/40/17 front
235/40/17 rear
they are being collected sunday and are very very light forged wheels i think will suit the car perfectly
and thats it for now but she will be on the road saturday the 5th september 100%

Re: Project REV5 Turbo ............ Lots of big changes
few more little updates
wheels have now arrived and was over the moon with the condition
never liked white and had no intention of them staying white so took them to a friend who vapour basted and acid dipped them to strip them clean
they came back like this
ive since started the process of polishing the dishes
also got the bonnet finished and the front bumper and splitter all painted up ready to fit in the morning
painted
and masking removed and coupe of clear coats to loose any painted edges
and my latest marmite mod haha
rev 5 spoiler risers, not everyones cup of tea but its removable in 5 minutes so no biggie
they will be powder coated gloss back in the morning so should look less conspicuous
there exact carbon copies of the originals too so thats a bonus

Re: Project REV5 Turbo ............ Lots of big changes
I love the spoiler risers mate, did you think about having multiple holes put in them so you can have the blade at different angles? If i didn't have my Bomex wing I'd be all over this

Re: Project REV5 Turbo ............ Lots of big changes

I would love to do one like this
with a big GT wing instead of the standard blade
