Alright!

 
so i got this car mid last year, found it off the forum so i've been meaning to make a thread about it for a while.

The car is a 1987 JDM import, came fitted with an ae101 4agze, Haltech e6x ecu and 15x8 + 25 OG San Wheels.



This is my first car, i gotta admit its a pretty crazy one ,

Anyway since i bought it there were alot of things changed such as wheel bearings, brake hoses, exhaust tip, engine mount, rebuilt alternator, modified supercharger pulley (not for extra power, the original fell off ), springs and numerous other things.
 
Here are the mad chopped springs that got pulled out:

 

And here is what i replaced it with:
RSR Ti-2000 HD Springs 



I guess the main goal at this moment is to fix up the suspension. The shocks are in pretty poor condition, especially the front ones as there is practically no rebound resistance, so i've purchased some koni Yellows which will get installed soon .
 
Anyway here is what the car looks like now:

 

 

 
 
In terms of looks im pretty happy....front bumper needs a respray and the headlight eyebrow needs to be replaced which should be done in the next week 

 

Will keep updating!

Cheers,
Dan

thanks!

we do..... but there are exemptions.
i have not had any issues to date, even when i was pulled over. The officer did look at the supercharger decal, but that was about as far as his inspection went.

Lovely car - enamoured as I am with the A-dub, I'm trying to decide between the super and the atmo. Those wheels of yours go quite well. Glad to hear you haven't been getting much in the way of cop trouble too.

My old ADUB!!! Was impressed to hear it made it to VIC flawlessly. I had a feeling there'll be a round of maintenance required in its future, but I'm happy to see it's running well. Btw, the ECU is a Haltech E8 from memory.

Thats super clean and an awesome car for a p-plater especially on your reds!!!!!! Becareful and treat it well, if you want to find out what these cars are capable of there are track days at Sandown raceway. Took my Adub to one and was super impressed with the handling especially as it was wet as well. Didnt quite have the power tho :( lol.
 
Good luck with it!

Nice, my first car was an SC (and two tone) too.  Only trouble being once you've got the Adub bug, it's hard to give them up!

You coming on the cruise, danm? I'm hoping someone will have an A-dub, or my being there will be rather redundant! ;)
