Hi guys long time no post.... My old forum name was "The Bruster"..
I posted some car pics a few months ago... sonce then I have some updated ones 
Starting with the daily driver:
Its a very late spec '92 Mkiii 3.0 Turbo, one of the last off the line! The engine was fully rebuilt last year, at that point the car was totally stock.
Spec to date:
Cusco coil overs
Front and rear strut braces
Apexi SACF-II
Apexi AVC-R
Blitz FATT Turbo Timer
Blitz SUS Air filter

Stainless steel braided brake lines all round
EGR system removed
NGK Iradium plugs
NGK uprated leads
HKS super sequential Blow of Valve
JDM tail lights conversion
Cat 1 imobiliser
I had a Suprasport hybrid turbo, 3" elbow, 550 CC injectors, Lex afm, High power nitrous kit and unorthadox racing vernier pulleys, but I sold them, as the 7M-GTE is to be replaced with a Mkiv Supra 2JZ-GTE (or a 1UZ-FE!!!)
When its nice The Twin turbo comes out! This car is very rare in that it is a 2.0 twin turbo manual narrowbody aerotop, We beleive it to be one of about three to five in the UK.
Specs:
Turbo Technics CT-12 turbos
Uprated actuators
Head gas-flowed, ported, valves ground back by Renault F1 (the joy of contacts!)

G-max -30mm springs, uprated Ma-70 shocks

Cheers guys
Cusco coilovers, I actually bought them cheap of Ebay... I think they are the comp1s. They are very much entry level coil overs...with not as much adjustment as I would like (preset damping) but as usual... funds limit my mods  The handling impreovement is simply awesome, but the ride is very rough on our crappy UK roads!
No Fensport are definitely NOT my friends... they are totally useless!!!! They tend to send the wrong parts and make it very hard to send them back... Customer care is rubbish, prices are too high, they are also almost totally uncontactable! If I need anything new now, I use Envy Performance (Ebay is also my friend lol)
I got the front clears from procar parts in the US, I don't think anyone makes clear sides (still!!!!!) so I used clear US style rear daytime running lights, they are a little larger, but look ok!!!
I forgot to add the Mines ECU on the 1G list.. D'oh....
I am actually pretty gutted.... this week some arse in a ford explorer hit my grey soop... pushing the front passenger wing in, and just catching the front door!!! AS there are no witnesses it looks like I am going to have to fix it out of my very empty pockets..   What is wrong with people!!!!!!????

Cheers... that photo was taken at Beauleau, an motoring museum in the UK... Que the jokes about some old wreck, "and a nice bit of wall"
She is getting the hang of it.... she used to have a FWD 1.1 rover 200, and aspired to own an MG-TF crappy hairdressers car type thing.... Once she got in my GA-70 and later Ma-70 she was hooked
Her driving does scare me though... but hey she over took a new shape BMW M3 totaly sideways in the rain at the Nurburgring, I was quite possibly MORE scared then the BMW driver... but its got to suck when some blonde dressed in a fair amount of pink literally runs circles around you new very epxpensive perfromance car in a a 12 year old toyota
Yes our numberplates suck.. they are huge... and worse of all the rears have to be yellow  Because of the shape of euro number plates, even the later facelift cars had the old style rectangle lights!!! Imports are allowed to have import shaped plates (have why my GA-70 has it... I put import tails on my grey Ma-70 (uk spec '92 car) of anyone asks... its an import... (very few would know otherwise lol) Next up for it is the LED spoiler to match.

No worries lol Some love the gold some hate them... I want to get some of those anthracite/bronze coloured Volkracing rims on the grey one at some point
I can't beleive that someone in reading (shit hole industrial town about 15 mins from me) has got a really tatty black mkiii.... and put some mkiv rims painted in gold on it!!!! The cheek of it!!!!  I mean its not like we are in different hemispheres.. sheeeesh
Still its not an aero top, there are very very few of them other here as they were never sold...
