Thought I may as well start a build thread seeing I'm on here often reading everyone else's,
Saved up and bought my 1997 Bathurst 2 when I was 16 and I've owned it since (4 years) bought it pretty much stock in okay condition and have been changing things one thing after another since, a few things of many done are

Bc coilovers
8j wide front, 9j wide rear wheels wrapped in yoki advan semi slicks.
Pretty much resprayed most of the car
Leather seats/Omp wheel.
Wilwood BBK 4 pot caliper fronts with supra TT Discs and braided lines.
Gen 3 3sgte full drive train swap fully rebuilt with forged internals


And heaps of other little changes

Got a few more plans for the car still that I'll post through this thread as I'm doing them until I can relax and leave the car as is!

I will post up some more details on engine built specs, and better photos at a later date

Looks like a nice car and some nice mods.

Your rims suit the car perfectly, good choice. Look forwards to more details and seeing you on a run. You must be close to getting your opens and being able to drive this...

Thanks guys. Will keep everyone updated on mods, I'm able to drive it on p plates legally as I hold a ABN and run my own business so it somehow passes as a work car making it fully legal even though it's an "overpowered vehicle"

Nice ! the wheels and fitment look great. what is the offset on the wheels? and what size tyres are you running?

Hey mate can't remember the offset of the top of my head as it was some time ago, maybe +35? 8" wide front 9" wide rears,
Tyres are 235/35 rear and 215/35 advan semi slicks, going to go abit more aggressive with rear tyre size on my next set
