    Put up what you have done to it what it has had done to it and then put your list up... Will not upset as many ppl then lol!

    But nice start btw. I did spy you have slotted rotors... But i would go a couple of profiles lower, you dont need them ultra low profile cause your ride will get a lot harsher. i Would prolly drop the profile by 10

    See how you go there I have just put some pics of the mods and other bits n pieces of my car in profile if you want to take a look

    So mods to come to start with will be rear tail lights and a hid kit for the exterior then I will get another engine in July to strip and start rebuilding in between then there will be a digital tacho going in and possibly a digital temp guage I'll also be getting blue LEDs for the dash

    This i know from my Jap origins but there is a brand called Defi that make a HUD (heads up display) that can actually shine up onto your windscreen that can do your speed, revs, engine temp... Im not sure if it does anything else but these guys make the sexiest gauges i have seen

    Used a lot of these when i went thru my boy-racer crisis after owning an STI and an r33 gtr.

    Just been looking seems the HUD won't work with the vr the port on the vr is obd2 but reads as obd1 which falls into obd1.5 lol so looks like I'll stick with the guages

    Technically not having any gauges is not illegal... I have spent that last 12 months driving my car with no speedo in it! Just as long as you know approx what speed your doing relative to your engine revs in each gear, you will be right. I used to drive to sydney and back every second weekend from Young which is like a nearly 4 hr drive. Plus over to bathurst and back numerous times.

    Actually i have been fine free for over 3 years now I am overdue for one though....

    As soon as my new front bumper is on and full painted i will be throwing her up in here to have a gawk at. Personally im interested in doing a complete statesman interior upgrade in mine which covers your door skins, centre console, dash, glove box. I will also include a level 3 gauge cluster, climate control, power windows etc...

    All in nice woodgrain finish if i can find it in good enough condition

    Like you i will buy the bits and pieces here n there when i find them and then make a weekend of it. All help is welcome and id shout for the grog...

    Where bouts do you live mate?

    If my dash stopped working I'd be fine I can use my laptop and cable to show the speed And revs and stuff
    I might not get the guages and just try to integrate a small laptop into the car somewhere

    It can be done actually. I am at the moment making a cable to be able to display such info onto a DVD 5" screen Its for a mate that has bought a kit car, he wants to have 2 of these screens where the normal cluster goes. One that has the revs, temps and the other to have speed and pressure. Im just having a hard time being able to split the screens from the one source...

    The level 3 cluster looks so much better.
