Hello,

My previous cars were a 256 bhp Nissan 200SX, 321 bhp Nissan Sil80 and a 511 bhp Toyota MarkII.

Thanks for the welcome.
Here's a little more info about me.
I live in The Netherlands, in Rotterdam to be exact.
I live together with my girlfriend Mariska and 2 cats.
I'm a bit of a late bloomer with cars. Always loved them, but found that money was too tight to get my license. So I got my license when I was 25.
My first car was a Nissan 100NX. Slow as sh*t and looked like Fast & Furious, even before the movie was out.
After 2 years I bought my first RWD, a Nissan 200SX S13.
I had much fun with that, but pretty soon my eye was drawn to a Nissan Sil80 which was for sale in the UK.
I flew over, looked at the car, bought the car and after two weeks I found out the engine was FUBAR inside.
Fresh purchase:
Just two weeks after purchase :-(
But after 4 weeks rebuilding it looked a whole lot better:
2.1 litre, with ballbearing GT28R doing an easy 321 bhp
And the car looked better too:
I sold the car to a guy in Denmark, and ordered a Toyota MarkII from Japan, which, after 4 years of ownership, I turned from almost stock into this:
Twin GT2530 turbo's, and loads more mods, 511 bhp.

As my car had no strutbrace, I bought one secondhand. Paint on it was a bit scruffy.
My grilfriend works in a paint shop, so she mixed up a custom bright orange with gold flake and I painted the brace:

Those are some amazingly great photos of your work. I love the Orange + Gold flake. Normally I am not a fan of the color Orange, but with the Gold Flake it looks absolutely stunning. Thanks for the pics, was definitely a good read, and welcome to the forums.

Been quite busy with the car in the last few months.
Swapped the stock bumperlights for crystal versions
Fitted a Momo wheel on snapoff hub, and some gauges
Lowered the coilovers an extra inch, fitted new wheels (Dotz Mugello, 18x8 front, 18x9 rear, custom painted), fitted a RE Amemiya diffuser, SpecII taillights.
And repainted various engine parts

The 15mm spacers on the rear were a tad too weak, so those went to the front, and got some 20mm rear spacers.
Replaced the intake pipes with polished ones:
Took off the green wheels, and set her on Advan Model7's (if only for a week or two)
I started with this:
And after a lot of cleaning, degreasing, sanding, masking and painting, I ended up with this:
