2JZ, you can buy my car it's already in there, just waiting on anti-lag. Check out my sig link.

Skegget,
I never was a big MKIII fan, but if I could have one, I'd want it to be just like your. This is the only build I'm following atm. Get a nice Vid up when she's all Complete!

Ok guys and gyrls, this is an older pic but I just wanted you all to look at it an compare it to your stock rear bumper. This one is around 8cm shorter and implemented the Bomex skirts without the edge.

I like the shorter bumper. How hard was it to do that? reminds me of the JDM Evo 9 rear bumpers that are shorter than the USDM ones. I like it

Thanks! It was pretty tricky but I got help from a friend that works with fiberglas. It is 5cm shorter, not 8cm as I wrote before, and it is also 5cm higher.

For some reason that first photo was a turn off for me... Can't place what it is but it just doesn't look right. But the last photo speaks to me. I really like the rear bumper and quarters.

How does the steering feel with the wider tires?

Cyrus, Crypton2006, Connor.Stephens: Thanks!!!
xCxHxRxIxSx: Thanks and yes I have a full stainless steel 3" system waiting for my race engine!
Chambers: Maybey it is the downhill angle... the steering feels a bite hard due to the lack of powersteering otherwise I guess its ok! Need to try it on a track... :D

Yea, I'm having some issues with the rack on my car (remember I have a manual rack too) when trying to turn sitting still. Need to have a brace or flange welded onto it to keep away lateral movement.

I have had some problem with broken turbos but now she goes pretty good! I will have the MOT done before winter so the car will be legal for a full year and then I am putting in my race engine :evil2:
