Welcome to the club,
Nice choice of car, now you got loads of mates with GTO’s, these cars are great fun and probably twice as good as a lot of people think, they look damn good after over twenty years and really stand out amongst the crowd. :smile:

Yeah there very underrated to be fair,loads of power and even though ive read they don’t handle it a load of crap! Mine handles like a little go cart and its standard suspension wise​:+1: (for now :wink:) can tell there’s a great car once I sort out the problems.

Only thing I’m not keen on is the driving position,going to get a deep dish steering wheel (got a flat bottom one at the mo) which should sort it out,I want my seat back but then I can’t reach the steering wheel comfortably. Plus it needs a short shifter fitting as its to long, my s13 was just the same! Lol

I have a japspeed short shifter that i’m not going to use if you’re interested?

#15

Sounds interesting, how much would you want? Might have to wait s bit though as I’m skint at the moment. ( bills all at once!) lol

Hi everyone, Just thought I’d update you on how my Gto has changed, it’s been a slow process as money and time has been at a premium but ive made some forward steps to getting it how I want it,need to get the bodywork sorted now which should be easier now the nights are getting lighter but here how she sits at the moment :slight_smile:

Still can’t get all the picture to show! Lol emphasized text

You want to take her over a good few speed bumps before you stick with those skirts. Only advice from me I can offer because I had to cut my body kit twice to make speed bumps manageable :slight_smile:
Hate to see you paint her up to have to cut up

#23

Hahaha! Just turned my orientation lock off and I can see them all! … Think I need more coffee!

#24

Thanks for the advice m8, can get over speed bumps fine and I don’t scrape at all… Not even on my drive and even my rx8 I had scraped and that wasn’t even lowered! :slight_smile: think the 20’s help :wink:

Cheers Stevie :+1: got some trick custom stuff in the pipeline I’m doing, got it sitting how I want it so can concentrate on the bodywork now :sunglasses: she’s still my daily so it’s hard to start stuff and finish it…hence my front bumper! :joy::joy:

Yeah I don’t think gto’s look right without a rear spoiler and this one is the only one I like :slight_smile: I think it suits the lines of a Gto perfectly​:+1: and the colour I already had as I was going to spray my s13 200sx but it decided to blow it’s engine before I got round to doing it :-1::joy:
