Just after my JD was written off i needed a car urgently to get around in.
The answer..... A Cordia Turbo i brought from wrecking yard.
Ricer mods added were.
-cheap monster tach
-bonnet vents and scoop on a black bonnet
-cannon muffler on otherwise stock exhaust
-lowered springs
-loud BOV
-cut up front to fit cooler
-Ralliart sticker
-K&N filter in cut airbox
-"L" badge on the back to turn the "CORDIA" badge into "CORDIAL"
Suprisingly all i done to it to get it running was change a few sensors and it took 15psi well. But did blow some smoke on boost.
Most of the mods were parts i had taken off a modded ET pulsar that i had given to me. Cops didnt like the car after a while, so after a bit of harrasing id saved enough to buy my red JA and the cordia saga ended.

LOL at Benny but to be honest it's what I expected. Hell if it'd been a 2 door iron mask I might have been impressed but I hope you've learned the error of your ways. Was it an auto as well? At least they have a LSD i think!

well if you know anything about the r31's here is what mine was:-
start with a stock GX
(3.0L single cam 6cyl, manual, poo brown vinyl interior, handles like a boat)
then change door cards and seats for ones from a silouhette
wire in the courtesy lights ( loom doesn't exist in a GX )
retrim door cards after a 70's flash back
get rare as hens teeth import head and tail lights ( fit them and watch other r31 owners be jealous LOL )
fit dual rear sway bars and lowered suspension
pod, 3" intake, XF Tb, extractors, r33 turbo cat, muffler, 2 1/5" piping.
stain dash black
fit silouhette gauges and trip computer
cut bonnet up for vents and bolt on wing
finally ( i think ) get the gear box fettled with and a fit a mini spool :)
just a side note the wing had perspex end plates as the metal ones were "dangerous", the perspex ones were a perfect fit for some blue 10mm LEDs i had and a sound controller made them flash to the sub :pimp LOL
and is the one i WILL get fitted to the staz!

benny.. do you realize your starion is a lemon because it's depressed?
i would be depressed too if you tried to take the fishnet stockings (aka the wing) off a tramp (aka that thing above) and tried to put them on me..
:P
