Long time since I've been on here!
Need to get back into it, good news and bad news.
First of all some t#*t keyed my car so at the minute it's having a full respray!
Luckily the garage I work at does bodywork so I'm getting it done by my mate in his own time (nice and cheap)
Now for the good news, now I'm qualified I'm on a better wage and can finally afford to sort out getting a f7p or f7r in it! So if anyones got a good spec one for sale or knows of anyone selling one I'm more than interested!
And once I've got that sorted I want to look into an LSD. Don't know if anyone's got any more info on them? I know nimminz put one in his 360. The reason I want an LSD is because I'm going to be using the car for track days/kind of daily more than a drift car.
Any good spec f7r or f7p for sale let me know cheers

C'mon theo, what 15's you getting? I bought a set of R19 16v 'turbines' (the 8 spokes, not ronal lookalikies) but the F'ing courier lost one and i cant find another for love nor money :( so ive got 3 massive paperweights sitting in my way.

Car looks good, will be great with a modern twin cam in there 8) keep us up to date
