    looks a decent spec.

    dont bother spending money changing the front end, just makes it harder to get parts when you stack it.

    cage on the other hand makes a MAJOR difference to the handling and will help you a lot. a lot of people forget that cages do much more than just add safety, they really do stiffen the car up a lot.

    That looks like a good car, as WJ said just drift it after sorting the boost out. Honestly you don't need posh arms, really really you don't, it just makes the car stiffer. For anything but top spec competition I don't see the point whatsoever, it's just a DW "nice to have" that people fit because they think they need to, and sure it feels tight, but is that a good thing? Unless your car is dangerously shagged then they feel tight on coilovers anyway!

    Just my 2p, and again I like the way the car looks :D

    jeez man, stop spending money on stuff you don't need and get some seat time :) Hydraulic handbrake on an S13? Standard handbrake locks the wheels up instantly at 200 kp/h

    Just bought myself a s14 diff and will be getting it welded up for the 11th of june ready for the pod.

    Also will be ordering myself a carbon boot from chargespeed monday.

    The actuators buggered on the car which is why i have been getting boost round 5k and the avcr not being able to control the boost propley so will be changing that aswell.
