Darth Vader

[Burgy]

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

 

[Sabretooth tiger]

does that mean Darth Vader and Jezebel will have little mad m3 babies soon :rollsmile:

Thanks for the comments guys! Vader is currently at a top secret facility undergoing extensive modifications! Ill get to that in a bit..

Im going to have to search for some pics.. Ill try get some more

So to pick up where I left off, The bodywork needed some loving and a few changes were made.

I purchased an OEM csl boot lid from the UK, Changed the rear lights to have only the red darkened and a good detailing.

Current bodywork:

OEM CSL bootlid
CSL style diffuser
CSL style front bumper
19" Santiago wheels with a custom colour
Laminx rear lights
Front Angel eyes
Window tint




This pic shows most of the current body



I then decided that I needed to add a bit of sound.. and of course.. Its MAD

Alpine 98xx headunit with bluetooth, steering controls etc
Full Rockford Fosgate punch p3 system including:
2 x 10" subs, Monoblock, 4 chan amp, Capacitor, 6.5" front splits, 5" rear
splits
A custom boot install was also done.. Ill have to get some pics..

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:

[Burgy]
