Lots an' lots of goodies.
Just need to get round to fitting everything now! haha.
4 strut bars, full s/s cat back system [Was a DIY by a mate off his EJ2], rear anti-roll bar, Skunk2 coilover springs, Wings West lip, D2 LCAs, proper long pipe air filter thingy majobby and also some carbon fibre eyelids [Not sure on these yet =\]
I know you guys like pictures so:
Also thinking about doing my rocker cover in Black, white, grey and red camo style, and then doing my roof lining matching, thoughts?
Also springs, struts & LCAs're going on after my MOT
then it's neatening up the bodywork, maybe getting some 15s or 16s...
Then I've decided to Turbo it with a cheapy Ebay turbo kit, maybe get 180 odd out of it, then when it dies, get a B16a2 an turbo that instead
Hopefully next summer having a tour round Donnington race track, Silverstone and Thruxton circuits with my mate who has a swift, then it's off to the drag strip. So we're both pouring money into our cars haha.

Thanks for the kind words Got some slightly better updates coming soon, had a bit of a barrier in the form of my final exams at college... But last one is on tuesday then the fun begins!
Also with the eyelids... I'm not sure on them, they were an impulse buy, being carbon fibre an all...
Also would white car, CF bonnet, Black roof, black/cf boot and red rota slips + red interior [just seats & struts] look alright? Gonna try a Photoshop next time I got a PC with photoshop on

SOME updates!
Being 18, and having a grand total bank balance of... £4.59... I had a bit of a laugh and did some work on my car for the best modifications per cost I think I've ever done..
First thigns was have a bit of fun with the pink I had left over after my wheel nuts...
Sanded letters....
2
Then realised it looked... Crap.
Whipped out the Milano Red...
and sanded letters on that...
Looks so much better than the old gray rocker Cover...
Then I went to the Range. Got some magic orange arty paint and got to work doing a DIY JDM jobby...
The results:
Not bad I don't think. Planning on doing the Strut brace and my wheel nuts red as well...
and just for referance.. what it used to look like:
Thinking of relocationg my fuse-box and also my battery some time soon, not sure what else I can do to tidy-up the engine bay.. Anyone got any suggestions?
Also took some pictures of her at my mums place. Not cleaned, still with the terribad paint-job ha!
What do you think I should do first? Lower it, neaten the paint-job, sort out the dents or save for turbo or save for new wheels?

Yeah there is it's going to be a lot lower once I finally get around to fitting the springs + everything lol.
Problem being they're only coilover springs, and they'll be on standard shocks.. So i was a bit wary of using them...
