So most of you know the specifics of the Turbo build, but there is far more to Vader than most people know..

The day I got her: 80k km, 2005, Jet black, Manual

It was love at first drive!



So after a few repairs done by Gizmo.. Let the modding begin!!

Ordered a few cosmetic mods first





So above you can see a red starter button.. I installed that and had it for a day, then remembered it was lame and took it off..

Added were some smoked side and front indicators.



I also built my own intake and fitted a strut brace: (sorry for the bad quality pic!)



I then decided a csl boot is a must, and bought a carbon one locally. The fitment wasnt good at all.. it drove me mad everytime I thought about it. At this point, both boot and rear diffuser were carbon.



Added some interior bits: Shift knob, shift boot, Wrapped the interior, short shifter.


I then sprayed the Boot black and made the diffuser look more csl.



Craving more power, I bought a replica CSL airbox. It was tuned and made a healthy 206wkw at WRC. The car also Had TMS pulleys and a Wildcat exhaust system.



Although the CSL airbox made power, the Alpha N conversion was still in its infancy and it was terrible to drive.. I ended up removing the box.

Some track day pics:






More to come!

"saw her" implies female-Darth Vader=male

Impossible that you saw her but definite that you saw HIM

CSL style diffuser
CSL style front bumper
19" Santiago wheels with a custom colour
Laminx rear lights

2 x 10" subs, Monoblock, 4 chan amp, Capacitor, 6.5" front splits, 5" rear

You better have that turbo motor running to compensate for all the unnecessary ballast you just threw into the boot...:fencelook:


Besides, I thought the boot was needed for multi stage meth tanks and pumps.


The sound of a turbocharged M3 motor is all the sound I need...:cartel:
