Well I have a plan in place just need 5k to buy another engine but that's as much as im saying until it's in the car ill let people now but it's the usual stuff more suspension work, 4 pots etc
just badge the car up as an XND and fit steelies, lose the lights for standard ones and spoiler and your away!
I have some s16 badges might put them on

Bit of an update, over the past week or so I've been buying new bits for the 6. My 20mm spacers turned up today, bought a new tyre for one of the vortex alloys and pretty much cleaned them before they all go on hopefully today, plan with the car now is more power and handling,
so alot more suspension work
looking into KAD 4 pot brakes
power flex bushes through out
putting my BBM beam mounts on today to
BBM engine mounts
buying a bucket seat after pug fest
17" Pro race 1.2's
and another engine, not going to announce what it is yet as I don't want to look like a fool if the plan goes abit south but it'll be worth the 5k it's going to cost me so that's the plan going to get the chassis and brake parts first
as soon as the cars been raised and on the vortexs ill upload pictures

well al started today at about 1 ish this after noon once I got to James's (jaymes306) and got the spacers through the post, so it was good buy to the semi stance look
james bolting my bbm beam mounts and pulling a face that I guess he does in the oval offise
and hello oem+
personally I think it looks better took about 4/5 hours todo all round. rear is sat at 40mm and front is at 50/60mm (back with the 8" springs at 250lbs) which has the nose pointing down which is what I wanted. few things to get used to the height of the car which is odd as im used to falling into it and now just sit and mostly the ride which is lovely handles like a beautifully and what a difference the beam mounts make! need to stop slowing down to bumps in the road that I used to take off when it was low and speed bumps that I can take abit faster now as doing 2mph down them started to get annoying
so next on the list is 4 pots either going KAD, hispec or pb

I am thinking of a darker silver when I get some money for a refurb can't stand dark colours as it makes the tyres grey if you no what I mean

Always think these challengers look a bit too big for the car really. Sounds like you've got some great plans for it though!

I thought so to dude look huge! As soon after pug fest I should have enough wonga for some pb 4 pots as they come with everything.
raised the car 10 mm as it was way nose end down and bought fresh number plates as they were definitely needed. I have pictures which I'll upload after dinner
