Platmatt`s SMG project

Post by platmatt8 »

EDITED DUE TO PHOTO BUCKET POLICY CHANGE............

Never really done one of these before so i`ll try and keep it updated.

Anyways started as a pretty much stock rev2 gts just some kei office wheels and an alpine stereo(jap so not much use) i`m the 1st uk owner, mileage is at about 80000km i havent driven it much in the past 2 years 8-[ as this was always going to be a project.

I added some crystal corners on, to replace full orange units.

Next came the gen 2 berk down pipe

followed shortly after by the Pheniox Power departure 2 PRO exhaust

A boost gauge, dual pillar pod and MBC, the MBC was quickly changed for a Blitz Spec R boost controller as i didn`t trust the MBC.

Toyo Sport intercooler

Toyo sport oil catch can

Wheels where stripped and re-powered coated Light graphite

Cleaned and painted calipers at the same time

A set of rev3 lights

New gear stick gator from rhon

Rev 3 boot, and rev 5 spoiler

Some lockwood dials (I need a 30mph marker cant do 20 to 40 =;

Departure exhaust doesn't fit with a TRD kit - its too wide - that's why I took mine off.

I'd mount your boost controller in the ashtray - heres how.

NOOO....


I`ve been given a dilemma, the chap at the spray shop says seen as im keeping the car why not have it re sprayed in a different grey to modernise it!!!

But which GREY?!?!?!?

He`s not going to spray the sills or the engine compartment or frunt so a similar lighter grey would be preferable.

Any ideas??
