Looking for advice & inspiration for S4 vert
Hi guys, looking for some advice on what to do to my car and what to do with it! ;-) Apologies if this is in the wrong forum.
I have an series 4 FC vert which I converted from NA to turbo.. when I was younger, I spent a good deal of my time and money as a poor uni student doing it up. It was set up for drift and it did ok, but it never really cut it against an S14 (or perhaps I didn't).
It has been sitting in the garage for 5 years. A while ago I was considering selling it due to pressure from the wife (hence the username), however I can't bare to part with it considering how much love went into it and I doubt anyone would pay me anything near what its worth to me. Hence, I am looking for ideas of what to with it now.
Externally, I kept it stock as I drove it as a daily. It was a pretty good sleeper, pushing well over 300hp at the wheels on about 12psi - not bad for an unopened block that came from a jap import half-cut!
It currently has a HKS T04e .89 turbo, custom header, external wastegate, 1700cc injectors, Malpassi black fuel reg, Microtech LT10-S, FMIC, custom radiator & thermo fan, racing beat exhaust, no emissions, BOV, Blitz EBC & t/timer, adjustable coilovers, whiteline sway bars, RE Amemiya 2-way mech diff, RE rear steer eliminators, adjustable tie-rod ends, camber rod and a few other minor things.
Interior and exterior is almost stock down to original wheels, working convertible roof, working lights & elec windows & a reasonably straight body. I have some wide body guards for it in the garage.
Must haves include roll-bar, racing seats/harnesses, wheels and I would love to add a hydraulic h/brake. I also want to strip the interior and clean out the body deadener, add a simple dash where I could mount all the gauges I have lying around and maybe a Microtech dash or and controller. Externally I could buy some front & rear bars & skirts, add the wide fenders and wrap it.
I was thinking to set it up for light circuit racing which I could do any old weekend at a track day... and I could drift if and when the occasion presented itself.
Any ideas of what to do from here? I don't want to spend a shitload of money but I want a car that is practical, fast and looks more like it should.
Thanks in advance for any productive input.
