Cools. I will do that tonight so you guys can have a peep. The pics I will be posting were sent by the seller, before I purchased the car. I have done a few things to the interior, so I will post some updated shots when I get my camera back.
I look forward to your suggestions.

cant wait to see your car, sounds like its got some quite respectable mods on it, a good basis for any road u wanna take.
Sounds quite similar to my gt4, its a '90 model aswell, you can find it in members rides, do a search for 'dubbo' and youll see mine, its the silver one.
keep us posted on what you wanna do with it next!

Hi Guys,
Silverghost, your car looks sweet
Here is a link to some of the pics the seller sent me:

1gt48u: How much do the lenso's cost?
I was thinking of getting some white rims, though I don't mind the stocks either. It makes the car look more subtle.
Let me know what you guys think.

No worries, if do soon then you'll be the first to know.
The climate control works well.
It was a big step up from the old KB Laser

zasa,
I paid $1300.00 for the lenso's brand new with F1 tyres
allow about $1000 to $1200.00 for front mount intercooler
you can notice a difference
some people put fans on top of them as an option - whatever works for you
cheers

Ive researched it a bit and have found that a FMIC is difficult to install on a 185 due to all the A/C pipework and condenser. As far as im aware Its only really possible with a GRP A bumper or a custom bar with sufficient clearance.
Is there a bolt on design available for the 185 with a standard bumper and how long is all the extra plumbing??
IMHO the top mount has a great advantage due to the shortened intake path (less spool up time), and can be upgraded with a thermal fan and water injection to increase efficiency...or if you got enough dough for a FMIC source a GRP A W/A IC and have the best of both worlds....

not hard to fit if you put a bit of thinking into it
short pipework does lessen lag, but then heatsoak doesn't help
that with a TMIC - fan would help
pipework on mt st185 isn't too long & heatsoak is not an issue
Lag is taken care of with aftermarket ECU and boost controller
