Figured its about time i started a ride diary for my car to keep a track of whats been happening.

its a 1997 GX Sport which I bought in march from member here 'Rambo' who was the first owner in AUS after my previous cars gearbox gave way and have just been trying to enhance the cars already great looks since.

As it sits the modifications to the car are:

- Veilside Skirts
- Veilside Wing
- 25% tint (from memory)
- Unknown brand lowered Springs (came on car from japan)
- XXR 527 17x8.25 +35
- Aftermarket rear muffler and chrome twin exhaust tip
- Full sound system (put in by Rambo) Kicker speakers, pioneer headunit, MTX subs and kicker amps
- HID's I think around 6000K
- Apexi RSM (just a novelty really)

and a few more detailed photos.

Looks awesome!
I agree that it needs smoked repeaters though

Stalone drove an FTO?

Everything looks really good... except that wing which should be burned

Looking through old photos I found a picture of the car in its most original state!

its a very 'love it or hate it' look.

That's disgusting lol

How bout that, a cracked Kaze bar. Do they come any other way? lol

If they do, then they'd be rarer than a WRX with its original ride height.

So different never seen that before

So I finally got around to replacing the stock intake snorkel with a more direct pipe for better airflow into the air box!

I bought this intake kit from Repco for $30

My solution to not having jack stands

Front off!

old intake pipe out.

New intake pipe in from underneath

view from front without bar on

and final look with the bar on

I am yet to take the car out for a proper drive so no review yet. but im sure it cant be a bad change? right??
