Marc's project SP20
Hey guys,
Well this is my little story on Jacob (seeing the old plates were JCB, name sort of caught on from friends ). I bought it second hand on the 10th of October 2005 from a Real Estate Agent in the heart of Broadbeach for a sum of $15,800, seeing she had just taken delivery of a brand spanker 05 BMW 320i With 74,000 on the clock, a nice notey exhaust & being lowered 2” all round, I knew I had found my new car, seeing I upgraded from a 1980 Holden Gemini. October 2005 October 2007 April 2009 July 2011 I will keep this thread updated with photo's and info once I have completed each chapter and or add more... Cheers Marc

Also as some may be aware, i had Dan place a bid on my behalf for a pair of recaro seat rails to suit a BJ, so they should be here within 2months or so...
What im thinking of updating to are the Recaro SR3 copies, so either just black or a black & blue combo like below... This is an actual Recaro SR3 Tomcat seat, and could only imagine how much a pair would be OR, some MS3 seats: (pic courtesy of ScratchnSniff ---------------------------------------------------- And seeing I ran into some money, finally put tyres on the CX7 rims and decided to do a photoshoot with mate of AGT: Link

My JDM goodness courtesy of a member off astinagt.com came today, im going to have fun on monday
might have a bit of trouble with the sport stickers though, as I think they rely on the placement of the rubber side strip, lucky I kept them installed the mazdaspeed badge to the grille, still not happy with it tho, will be adjusting the "m" side so it sits straighter.. Also got one of the Sport20 stickers on, have taken off all the SP20 decals now, just waiting for the weather to fine up and I'll install the door stickers Cheers Marc

Nah its staying the same height, but gotta admit after the skidpan day I really need to replace the rear struts, buy some new springs & upgrade the rear sway bar Im also doubting putting a kit on it now, kinda have been hooked on motorsport (ie motorkhana's etc) in a way, putting a kit would be messing with doing my new found interest, hence considering taking the rails Cheers Marc

You know what, just looking at this photo at how much different mine is compared to a stock SP20, I like it!

mate about your engine paint, i have to say it looks good. i dunno what it is but it gives it a real tough old school diesel engine look.. not something out of a car, the hammer effect is awesome. i wanna do something simmilar in black and white.. but i dont wanna go and get new gasket lol
