Res' GPvR

Post by Res »

So I was around here a year or so ago, building up a Mirage with a 6a12m, it has since been written off and I found a nice GPvR to take its place.

Here is the new R. Goes okay, few issues like a nest of wires behind stereo and warped brake rotors. but these things are to be expected and could be worse.

First things on the list of to-do's are fix the stereo wiring and put in my good 2din head unit
throw a new set of pads, rotors, HEL lines and fluid in, if I can cram it in I'll also but the 2 stage brake booster I have in. that should sort the average feeling brakes.
then the windows need a tint because it doesnt look like the sides have anything.
swap out the tacky blue and red dash leds for whites.
I have oodles of parts that fit from the old written of mirage like big swaybars etc etc. so they might go on eventually
rims are a little rashed, If I cant be bothered buying another set of RPF1's I'll just restore the OZ rims it has
Otherwise its pretty setup already for what I like in a car.

Mods previous owners have put in are BC BR's, whiteline strutbraces.

Welcome (again)! Hope the car treats you well, shame about the Mirage though!

P.S. Come to bonfire next year

Car looks good Res.
It's odd that the previous owner added Whiteline strut braces when these came stock with strut braces

Quite possibly sold along the way, and a next owner added them?

I'll find the details now, see what I can do with making myself NOT work at that time and having some savings to come down.
