Time for another update, its been pretty slow this time mainly due to the time of year. Its a pretty dismal time to modify a car really but were hardcore at project-ep82 so we keep on rollin'. Got a few mods done recently, first i got the car lowered since it felt a little unsafe due to it being even lighter since i stripped out the rear interior. So i ordered a set of Ventura -40mm springs to set me on until i can afford a set of Tein Super Streets. I also ordered a full set of new uprated bulbs which you have probably already seen in the guide. i wrote not so long ago.

Another much needed upgrade was the CD/MP3 player, i was starting to really miss my music having only a tape deck and not being able to pick up the FM band due to the Japs not using the same frequencies as us. Lastly i ordered a ZEP Racing grill from http://www.starletgtturbo.co.uk/ which came well packaged and arrived quickly from Japan. Below are a few quick pics of the parts before they were fitted.

So as you can see from the pictures above i have painted the grill and i also thought i would paint the scoop satin black and added a small TRD decal to add to effect of the grill, also the mesh was painted black as chomre/silver seemed to clash with white. The first few pictures you can see the ride height has changed quite drastically, very impressed with the drop on the springs, the back is still quite high in comparison but this is due to it being stripped at the rear. As for the ride and handling its improved slighty, maybe firmer shocks and a few more strut bars and 15" wheels are required for a really responsive turn in feel. I also debadged the GT Turbo logo's on the doors which make it look much smoother now.
