Default G66 saph

Hello all, I'v been coming on this site for a while getting ideas and inspiration but I'v never posted so thought it was about time I did

I brought my saph in 2009 after a good friend was breaking it, he brought it when it was 40k and was on 60k when I had it off him
I had the shell with the original engine gearbox and diff

this is how it looked

current spec is
T34 with .63 housing
55lb blacks
airtec front mount, rad and turbo cooler
pro alloy header tank and mirror image oil breather
L8 with MSD chip, closed loop and wasted spark
Bara diff
Gaz coilovers
and loads more bits but i wont bore you

Currently makes 380bhp but over the winter I want to get the engine out and give the bottom end a freshen up as its never been out the car, so when I do I plan on upping the power a bit

Thanks for looking

Thank you James, and yeah I do like ambers but dont think they would suit it how it is now
When i was building it I had it on 17inch soft spokes, if it still had them id put ambers on but it drove like shit so put the 18's on and its spot on now

Thanks for the kind words, its not 100% finished yet (when are they ever!?) and I'm planning on doing some more work on it over the winter so I'l probably start another thread as and when I do

RickoG66, nice to meet another G66 iv seen a few other saph's with similar reg's don't know if there's any history behind them? all I know is mine was owned buy someone that owned a ford dealership when it was new, but iv been told some could have been press cars?
