This is JAP63 (Jamie) old genuine yellow plate Evo 3.
It was abused by the idiot that bought it and hopefully in a better place now Nigel is spending the time to fix it properly.
Good work mate, wouldn't mind seeing it in the flesh again

[DIESTI]

Look after it mate will be a better car now you own it.

[nigel_a]

looks hot mate just need a lip and she will be sweet

[nigel_a]

im currently looking for a lip. i have a fibreglass one but it doesnt line up aswell as i want it to and theres no point putting a glass lip on a genuine bar. will probs hit up sivart and see if they still sell them.

Score!!! Very nice... Genuine III is very hard to come by.
Dream car right there...
What are the plans for it...???

[nigel_a]

Ive always wanted one and finally got one and it was a steal! ATM I want to clean her up, few panels need to be touched up. I heard that when Jamie had it it was a very clean car. Needs a lot of tlc. I want to spend the next few weeks tidying up and then I want more power. I'm aiming for 250-275kw on the current motor. Got some cams for it, td05 20g, a tune and see what it makes.

looking good mate

[Ian91]

Looks good now, the first pics don't look as bad as you described to me ( luckily ), must feel good to have it in your drive way

Ps. I fitted the coilovers the other weekend, the ride is still pretty stiff so It would have been killer before you got the different springs lol

[nigel_a]

if you saw the car in the flesh it was a mess! it still is quite messy. gotta save some coin and pay a panel beater a visit. haha yea dude it was a killller!!!!! my wheels didnt move up or down over bumps, the car moved up and down haha it still is a bit stiff but should handle really well.

[nigel_a]

bit of an update, got my lip fitted thanks to mister_resister. did an awesome job making it fit! thinking i might respray the car in the next 6 months or so. finally fitted my td05 20g, hdi intercooler + piping (thanks to trippy), ecm link, injectors and the base tuning (thanks to jetgsr).






still got a long way to go!

looks like its alot better than you descibed it when you dropped me those coilovers good work mate

what else is planned?

[nigel_a]

need to get it tuned (looking at you timmy!) will be running 24psi and see how that goes. currently working on the front bar, doing some aero mods. ive got a 4 point cage to fit, surge tank and pump. the car will be hitting the track when its all done. i was interested in drag racing but now heading in the circuit direction.
