Hemmy's Project.
1996 FTO GPX (With transformer badges )
Ok so about my car..I purchased it APRIL last year (Thereabouts) and it cost me $13,000 from Carsales.
I bought it off a young japanese fellow who let me test drive it...it was the best thing i have ever driven.
So knowing nothing about cars i got it. Dad warned me about an oil leak but i didn't care this car tickled all my fancies.
Car as i bought it came like this.....
-Tipronic 4 speed with 118,xxx km's on the speedo.
-Aftermarket SUB, Speakers and Head unit.
-Cracked Stereo Surround (Didn't know it was cracked because he wrapped it in carbon fibre book wrap looking stuff..Looked good until i decided to take it off....)
-Foggy Headlights (Dad said i would never be able to get them clear PROVED HIM WRONG haha)
-Full veilside II Bodykit with rx7 veilside spoiler
-Ferrari Passion Red paint job
-The only thing he said i needed to do was to replace/machine 1 rotor as it shuddered as you break..
-Quad Tip sports exhaust with straight through piping (no resonators)
-Scissor Doors
-6,000k HID's
-Shiny Alloy Rims 17"
Ok so that's how i bought my car...geez it was shiny...geez it roared..
Modifications i have done since then...
(LETS START WITH THE EXHAUST AY)
-Got defected for sound so stuffed chicken wire in stock catback and installed....still was blowing 100DB on test..(initially was blowing 111), so then got 2 resonators put on it with stock muffler and was only just blowing 89db-90db on it...so got that defect passed.
-Took 1 resonator off and put quad tip sports exhaust back on.
-Took 2nd resonator off...(I missed the sound.)
-Bought hurricane Headers and a highflow cat converter (yet to install will update when i get them done)
So yay my exhaust is practically complete.
Now lets look at engine.
-That oil leak my dad was worried about....when i got defected they took my car over the pits and got me for as much stuff as they could. (Loose front left ball joint/broken lower engine mount/battery unsecured/oil leak)
-So i had to get the car fixxed...the above labor ended up costing me 3 grand which included a new battery and the cam shaft leak to be fixed.
-I got an Apollo CAI system for the car and custom made a blue alloy pipe to fit around my new battery.
-I bought a Manual Conversion (From Escapingfates FTO (WRITE OFF ..)) (Haven't put in yet but will do as soon as i get back from WA)
-Bought an AC pump off DSTOCKS so my ac could me bled and fixed. ($460 with me supplying the pump...)
-Replaced Alternator as it was dead..
Ok so that's pretty much the engine done..
Wheels and breaks... etc
-Groovy Baby rotars and european breakpads replaced on the front wheels.
-New tyres on the front..front ones put on back. (Only replacement i have done since owning the car :/)
-Have new tyres all round going on next week
-painted break calipers blue
Ok now for some Styling...
EXTERIOR
-Replaced the whole Veilside II kit with DSTOCKS complete custom kit (got it painted to match rest of car...derpa)
-Took spoiler off and got boot whole filled
-Installed Blue under car LED's under sideskirts.
-10,000k HID headlights
-Shinied up headlights
-Replaced passenger tail light
-Left door resprayed from dickhead opening his door into me..
-Scissor door mechanism adjusted
-Boot panelbeated because of dickhead hitting me while i was parked in a carpark...
-5% tint on rear and side windows.
-AB Bonnet off carmate purchased ( dad is picking it up this week)
INTERIOR
-Stereo Surround replaced
-Blue feet interior lights
-Dash display blue lights
-Isolate switches for all my blue lights
-Kenwood double Din DVD unit
-Option Audio 1500W Sub taking up 1/3 of my boot space.(had to take out backseats and rear speakers to slide it past..)
-Viper 5902 Alarm Purchased...got it half price because i purchased from US. (Will install when i get home from WA(Friggen Deployments...))
Hmm so that's all i can think of at the moment.
Anyone have any suggestions of what i can add...besides pictures.
I'll add pictures when i get back from WA.
Things on my TODO list:

CHRISTIANITY: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

No wonder you take most of your pics at night.
But other than that it's looking good.
