Hey thought i'd introduce myself as i'm hoping to rack some brains for ideas regarding my lil conversion.

I bought my car as an n/a 4g61 cyborg hatch that was auto converted to manual, in the last few weeks i've put all the standard cyborg turbo gear in it and its been boosting really hard but very expensively on gas! I have some fueling issues to work out, running very rich.
Engine has the 4g63n/a throttle body and manifold plus and evo 3 intercooler and a td04 turbo.
Suspension lowered on super low jamex springs, Thats about it really not much done.

Heres some piccys! :P

I Have to rethink my bumper mounting idea because it keeps falling off at bad times :evil: i had a stupid metal one and got a plastic one for cheap but it had no mounts and cable ties arent wrking so well :lol:
