My new two!

Hey guys am new to the forum just bought my new toy... is a 1990 gt import with a few goodies running under the hood, some of you may recognise it as i bought it from a guy on here recently. So far has been heaps of fun... was worried after reading about snap oversteer etc. but so far all i have experienced is snap hell &*#%%&@ yeah steer! gonna be some new wheels and some other mods to come soon when my pocket gets a bit healthier again but for now is a great drive! look forward to getting to know you all and feel free to comment on what you think of her ;-)

    Thanks mate!
    Yeah they do go well with it but i feel they could be just a bit bigger... am thinking maybe 17" lenso d1r's would go nicely as they would fill it out a bit better and i like the staggered dished look!

    As far as i know it has stock internals but some good bolt on mods:
    Turbo: t28 - Garrett ball-bearing, Oil and Water - Cooled
    Intercooler: ebay upgrade trust rip off cooler
    Wastegate: Tial 38mm
    Exhaust: Blitz Nur Spec 3" cat back
    Dump-Pipe: 3" + 38 mm screemer
    Computer/ecu: Emanage Blue - dyno tuned by (creatd - camberfield)
    Brakes: front :dba cross drilled and slotted
    Back: dba slotted
    Pads: lucas
    Suspension: standard + lowered springs
    Tyers: front: Hankook v12 - 205'45, R16, 87w
    Back: kumo sport 225'45, R16, 89w
    Guages: Greddy boost gauge, digital water temp
    Boost controller: Greddy PRofec B-Spec II
    Turbo timer: Greddy turbo timer
    Stereo: 2 amps; JL Audio 2150, audioline 2x300wat, Kicker 6' splits, 6' tube sub, MTX re-Q2 sound processor, 2din touch screen all in one; gps, bluetooth ,tv/dvd ,radio ,usb, chinese unit.
    Other: front and rear strut braces, twin fan engine lid + pulling fan on intercooler, blitz pod filter

    is my first decent car so was enjoying the corners alot on the way down from Melbourne :-)
    has got alot of kick in it however there can always be more lol

    but for now am most definately content but just need to track down some reverse lights to satisfy the bureaucrats and get it registered again! (if anyone knows of a rear panel with reverse lights i would most definately be keen to purchase one)

    I thought the tail lights looked a little rice to start off with but they've definitely grown on me. Only problem is that center piece missing reverse lights... was thinking of maybe getting some cheap LED ones as a quick fix and attaching them one the bumper grill?? any thoughts on what i could do?

    haha white neons in my boot maybe?!
    have got the original tail lights (1990 ones) but no center piece though... might just whack them on until can find a proper solution but aesthetically they're not the best!

    here's what i want it to look like soon... thankyou dodgy photoshop :-)

    Thanks guys! Yeah am definitely gonna take great care of it, is my new pride and joy so nothing but the best will do;) Gonna do a full service on it very shortly, flush coolant, gearbox, brake fluid etc. and change pads, oil filter, spark plugs, timing belt etc., pretty much the whole shibang. Want to keep this in immaculate condition and improve on it where i can! Is gonna be a few fun years ahead of me yet

    Nice. Those rims are 3pc right? If so, just have the dish widened.
