That car is a credit to you, a very well presented UC. Would like to see the tail lights straight on and from a lower perspective please.

A lovely looking car.

Moar photos

Find a mate who has a DSLR and take it out to an industrial estate to get some nice shots :)


I'll be doing this with my friend when I get my new wheels on.

Funny thing is his camera is probably worth more than my car!

Paint makes all the difference :P lol

oh i also fitted some new tyres to the front that my mate @ Vella Tyres got me they are 215/40/17 and gave me heaps more clearance so much so that i can now lower the front down another half inch where as before they would scrub turning into spoon drains and what not :D i'll be getting these for the back too soon but in 235's

well splashed out on the torana yet again and got the following:

HD clutch
Gearbox overhauled & FLywheel Machined
Diff Gears Changed to 3.55
And some WRX STI bucket seats (still gotta work out how im going to fit them)

So far i love the Ratio Change still going easy on it for a bit but noticable difference really livened it up alot!

here's a Picture of my seats

Posted Image

they are so comfortable and hold very well exactly what i wanted

Has anyone done WRX seats into torana's before? the rails arnt too far off the width of the torana ones so hopefully it wont be to hard of a job!

Will keep u all updated with how i got with fitting them
