Hi all im Stuart and ive just aquired a GT4 st185 jdm narrow body
i got the car as a project and i think its going to be a BIG one lol
its a bit worse for wear than i thought...

here it is




Will get some better pics when i have cleaned it. Anyone know the car?
it has some 17's a powerflow cat back exhuast and pipercross airfilter
when i got it it was on 0.4 bar of boost i found the problem so that was easly sorted
but put the car up on a 2 post ramp today and it looks like the cars been in a puddle for
5 years  ??? But all seems to be surface rust so when i got time ill attack it with a wire brush and
repaint and underseal it again.

nice site you have here and im sure i will be badgering you all for help soon enough  ;)

As for the dash item, check the for sale section for anyone breaking their car, or your local scrapper......
