    Well i thought id start my build thread finally, as im starting to get a bit of momentum up with what im planning to do with this car.

    Have some pics to start with

    thats how the car looks right now.

    Stock everything , except for the wheels which are Koya Inox 1 alloys in 18" wrapped in Maxxis tyres, which i think are good value for money tyres.....

    Its had a respray in 2003 in what i was told is a Honda NSX yellow, (from factory metallic brown) but im yet to find a colour code or anything like that

    I added the plates when it got here, as i bought the car sight unseen apart from a few photos form victoria, big risk but turned out ok i think...theres a few marks around the car, but pretty tidy overall....

    I recently made the decision to convert the car from NA Auto to Twin Turbo manual, using the parts from my very first zed which is a TT manual in Pearl white, but in poor condition......perfect as a donor car though!

    So thats it, and ill update as work begins

    How does the NA bar go for intercooling? I imagine an intercooler behind that would act more as a heatsink, before it becomes heatsoaked?

    and i think they have a newer style side skirt also. more flush fitting like the kaminari then the older one which is also similar to a bomex side skirt.

    could be wrong

    Performance update..........

    This is the cars baseline performance runs, as a 100% stock Non turbo Auto VG30

    Dyno result 109.2rwkw

    1/4 mile 16.75 seconds, best pass

    ill be looking to improve both those figures drastically when the TT manual goes in.

    believe it or not anti im actually reasonably happy with the dyno figure, i think that for a bog stock auto NA thats a ok result....

    the drag time i would have thought would be better , but it seems to really struggle of the line.........you cant stall it up enough againgst the brake pedal for a quick take of, regardless of what i did it would bog down of the line.....

    in a rolling start situation the car is relatively quick, again, when comparing to other 6 cylinder NA cars

    Anti 14.7 x 14.7 = 44.1

    so it doesn't even have a pod filter or catback? I guess that's passable then...

    definitely the auto holding you back on the 1/4.

    nothing........nada.........nil.........zilch......

    the only mod that it has that could affect its times are the koya 18" wheels and the tyres, ive got a 245 on the back, which is probly hindering and causing a little of the bogging down im experiencing. The wheels are undoubatably heavier than stock, they arent stupidly heavy, but as always most 18'' wheels will weigh more than a stock 16" zed wheel
