Some pics from my project

Hey guys,

Thought i'd post some pics of my S3 project. Project is going only as fast as money allows, so it's talking a while. I will be using a 12A turbo motor as the powerplant, just for something different. I've always loved the 12A. There are quite a few guys running around down here in 12A turbos with huge power. I'm doing as much work as I can on my own, with the help of my dad and my brother.
Pics can be found here ygo13b.blogspot.com

I will post more pics when i get a chance

Cheers

Sweet. Looks like you went as deep into your's as I did on mine when I did the widebody install. Nice color choice. From the pics it almost looks like the limited edition Shinka color.

I personally love that color, but wouldn't be able to rep it. It does look a hell of a lot like the Shinka Rx8's. And good luck on the project. I can't wait to keep seeing updates.

Thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated.

The RX-7 was made in Japan, it seems you guys have the wheel on the wrong side LOL!

As mentioned, It will be running a 12A Turbo with a small T04 turbo for now (not sure of the exact dimensions of the turbo, i don't have it yet). I will be using a S5 gearbox. I will be using either a Borg Warner or a Toyota Hilux diff with 4.11 gears. However, none of these details are finalised. I am aiming for around 280-300 rwhp with this setup. I want it to be streetable for now, but i'm sure i'll need to upgrade the turbo in the future, or when i get bored of the power.

Will keep you posted.

Cheers
