It started off a piece of crap red vn, then it was resprayed in the cherry red, engine bay included. Then i got a block, rebuilt the engine. From top up, due to it being good anyway. Lowered the car, full new suspension, all new bushes, sway and strut braces put on. New carpets, roof lining, new boot fabric, new boot release, new stereo, tv's put in, 3 amps, 1 neon, good conditions from a vp, shitty seat covers to protect them, new steering wheel, new stage 2 guage cluster. I had my new 2 way alarm installed as well, should have cost me about 2k to install. They had my car for about 2-3 days from memory. I could start and monitor my car from just over 5km away with good batteries. It was an insane alarm system for the car. I wish i didnt put it in. It was the top of the line alarm at the time. Im currently looking at possibly buying the new model for my new work car. I then had the gearbox rebuilt with a stage 1&2 shift kit installed on a switch so stage 3 total. Installed and wired the supercharger, chrome piping, new polished pulleys, new power steering pump etc, etc. Before doing a couple other things like wheels etc, etc. Before selling the car for $1000 about a month ago, as it was.

This car ended up putting out 179 at the treads without any nos. I ended up not putting the nos kit on it because someone vandalised the car. So i re-sprayed the whole car again and sold it instead. To buy my new work car

yeah it was. Only ever did one small burnout in it. I fishtailed it for about 80metres when i was testing the boost on it once when leaving work. Other than that i did roughly 4900km in it. It sat in the shed for about 4 months before driving it 1 day a week.
It was my weekender i guess, although i said it was my work car. A full tank of petrol only lasted from memory about 340km tho. It was very thirsty when i put the new injectors and fuel rail on it.
I forgot to say i had a my laptop hooked up to the ecu so i could tune the engine and diagnos it while driving too. I entered this car 3/4 done into the holden and ford show last december too. I loved the car but it was a tank, which i loved but i wanted so much more out of it.
I like my new car now tho
