My baby ( blue 1996 GTS )

Post by Ren0W »

Hi there,

after having an account on here for several time I thought it would be nice to introduce myself.

I'm Reno, 23 years old and living in The Netherlands.

Drove a '93 NA T-bar for a year (she's up for sale now)
(I bought that golden one to sell in parts)

Got in 1 accident with her:

Decided to wanted something quicker, and something more special and real JDM.

Bought end May, this year, a 1996 GTS in the UK. A 2007 Jap import.
Lovely car !

(I'll keep that site updated with every new part and modification)

Any questions, just ask !


[edit] Forgot to mention:

The car is still stock, none of the parts have been installed yet.
And the car got valued for an amount of €12.500,- :whistle:

JDM Supra mk4 alloys yes.

No sorry, don't know the type.
These go above the original ducts (they stay in place and don't get disassembled) and stop beneath the moulding.


(will post fitting pictures as soon as the car goes to the bodyshop)

Quickly took some pictures to avoid misunderstandings.


The original standard vent will stay in place. It won't be taking off. The skirt just falls over the vent.

I'm still thinking tho to cut the bar in the middle out.

As you can see they are a perfect fit \:D/
