Hey guys im Jake from the Sunshine Coast. Ive been on the forum for a while though id post a few pics of my car.

The story so far
I baught it two and a half years ago just after the engine had been build by the previous owner by APC Performance. After the first month of owning it I distroyed the gearbox on the way to work one morning. The car sat for a year unti afterl my ex gf and i broke up, I then I decided to get it back on the road again. I had the car on the road for another 2 months before doing a wheel bearing and boiling the brakes at the 2009 Power Cruise at QR. Since then I have just been saving and buying parts for a track build.

Looks great Jake.

Extensive mod list also

Fitting 9" wheels on there will be a big effort....

PS - Jealous of Man Land.

Thanksyou, Its slowly getting there like most projects:) yes it appears it will be a bit of an effort to get 9's to fit. i have aquired a set from a friend and hopefully will be dummy fitting a set up on the next few weeks.....I have seeen a gsr in NZ that has a very simular setup to what i want






Man Land has just received a few additions with a TV and stero and soon will have a beer fridge . sadly the only machine that is running down there is old victor the lawn mower in the corner and is only used when the grass leading to the shed grows too long

[Dean]

Awesome ride Jake, love the cleanness of it. Great mod list too.
Hope to see more updates in the future!

Thanks mate, the disco potato is incredibly responsive its practically lag-less on my car, the only down fall is that i find it starts to run out of legs higher in the rev range. now that the cars off the road and looking at doing cams and gears might look at a new turbo setup as well.

jake you finally join up mate

Yes about time I thought, Very keen to share my build with everyone. Its my first time attempting something like this so its a bit of a learning experience.

Engine before being removed

Hi guys, just a quick update, I havent been on for a while as im back at uni and working full time not allowing much time for the car.

However I have finally got the gto brakes and 5 stud conversion ready to be bolted back onto the car.

Also my modifyed hydraulic handbrake has been complete. It was designed so that the the standard consol can be reinstalled and keep prying eyes away.

Finally the whiteline anti lift kit has been installed. Engine bay is almost ready for painting.
