Project: TIFFANY (1997 GP Version-R)
Posted: Wed Jan 28, 2015 12:12 pm
Well here she is...
My partner (Amy) and I are proud to announce the next FTO to add to the collection... We've named her Tiffany (the name will make sense in due course!)
This Version-R was originally Bushido's... It's had some work done to it (as most of you know) and it goes like a shower of sh*t.
Purchased the vehicle off Stoogey with 120XXXkm.
The driveshafts were clunking upon purchase, and the brakes had quite a bit of a squeal. Otherwise; an overall great car!
CURRENT MODIFICATIONS:
All the standard Version-R goodies are on the car. HID headlights, strut braces, door lining, blue seats, no f**king climate control, no f**king sound deadener etc...
- UAS intake pipe
- Unifilter
- Heat shield
- Hurricane HPC extractors
- Metalcat
- Apexi N1 Evolution catback exhaust (resonator removed)
- G4 coilovers (street spec: 8kg fronts & 6kg rears)
- DBA 4000 slotted rotors front and rear
- Ferodo DS2500 pads
- Willans 4 point harness
- 5 speed manual conversion (done on 04/06/08)
- Rebuilt gearbox & Exedy heavy duty clutch
- Cusco Type MZ 1.5 way LSD
- Custom Driveshafts
- Haltech Interceptor piggyback ECU (running a relatively conservative tune producing 126 FWKW)
- Rear guards professionally rolled
- Clear side indicators
- New Stepper motor
- Alarm & immobilizer
CURRENT PLANS:
- Replace f**ked driveshafts with custom stainless steel driveshafts
- Machine brake rotors (they have a 1mm lip at the moment)
- Roll front guards
- Replace front bar
- Replace rear bar
- Full respray (the colour remains a secret with this one)
- Source new wheels (looking at ROTA Grids or Volk TE37s in 18"
- Fit new tyres to wheels (Bridgestone RE002 Adrenalins or Federal 595 RSRs)
- Polish all engine components (here we go again...)
- Customise the MIVEC cover
- Locate some fog lights (AGAIN)
- Loads of other sh*t which I won't say for now because you'll all think I'm a nutjob
