Martin u did piece of great job man !!!! I just have no words.... One question- u have lithuanian plates on your car?? Why?? Waiting for more photos Hi Mate . It's simple. LHD car with UK plates looks suspicious (imagine for example PL plates on RHD car) so I have registered car in LT before trip home (I was driving it home my self through whole Poland so it was necessary). Now managing registration here. Now I'm playing with many thing in the car (current job is interior illumination change to red/white LEDs). Car is dirty and not much photogenic . Only I have is just few crappy pic from cell phone...: I bought new Yokohama winter tires and painted old GT-four rims to make "winter wheels set" for upcoming weather As noticeable I have side skitrs back on, SS-III splitters as well so full SS-four look is back again Last upgrade was transparent tank lid installation and TRD cup cover -------------------- No more replicas... This is evolution... This is SS-four :)

Looking good. Where did you get the transparrent fuel lid from?? Love to have one like that vincent_doggy sells them. Many members have them including me. The old one isn't fun to take off, but once you get the old screws off and new clip on it's easy work . Great work on the car so far. -------------------- |

dang you stole my idea, are they powdercoated? It's just an idea for winter time . For the rest of the year I will use different ones. It is not powdercoated. I have heard it's "fragile paint" for rims and it can crack when you scratch (the curb for example) easily. So just special wheel primer and paint been used. -------------------- No more replicas...

Thanks for support guys... now when car is at home and I can drive it everyday is every progress so slow . I'm busy at work so not much spare time for my baby left .
November, 30th: Exterior is fully finished and now working on interior. Of course what I miss is my old illumination So now I have installed additional gauges (3 of them are not working because I have not installed sensors yet but they are wired and ready ), also working on dash illumination upgrades like LED installation: And when I have my new speedo at home I will start with cluster as well...

I love how you decided to do your extra dials on the dash and not on the roof column. It make sit look very nice and professional. Just curious, how hard is it to do all the LEDs and what not? I'm still riding on stock green.. and to be honest, I don't like it much lol. Also, which speedometer insert did you use?
Great job so far. I understand how it is not to have a lot of time to upgrade your car. I wish I had more time to do mine. -------------------- |

After one year, one month and one day ( ) I have decided to resurrect this topic to show this picture:
Some people here already know that 5 months ago "SS-Four - stage III" project has started. I have learned two years ago it is not wise to share with news too soon... But... On December 2010 was new forged engine completely finished. Now it is time to bring her back to live . Nothing can stop it now... So stay tuned .
