Looks fantastic! I'm looking forward to updates.

[Leroy Peterson]

im no replica wheel nazi, but those stickers on the wheels need to go.

[GeorgeLow]

Thanks Prank. I'll try to post more updates soon. Gonna get an ECU slapped on soon. So excites.

Lol. They have been removed and the wheels were resprayed to gunmetal grey if you look at the later photos.

[Leroy Peterson]

Ohhh sorry thought you brought it from Malaysia, not vice versa

[GeorgeLow]

No worries buddy.

[MC-WOSHY]

Looks good!

Can't wait to see future updates

[GeorgeLow]

No worries George, hopefully the Link is good. Heard good things from people running them in Aus

Cheers man, good to see people are actually reading my thread haha

[GeorgeLow]

Yep. It has got pretty great reviews. Cant wait to get it installed end of this month. See what peer pressure does to you. Lol.

Cheers buddy.

Cheers buddy.

I bet, it's like waiting for Christmas

[GeorgeLow]

Lol. Yea man. Actually, Christmas just got closer.

Got her a new media player. Out with the old and in with the new. Pretty sweet.

Updates on the ECU. Got it couple of days ago. Cant wait for a proper installation and tune.

Sick, looks the goods man! Can't wait to see the numbers she pulls on the tune

[GeorgeLow]

Thanks mate. I'll be doing an OTR tune tho. Dyno run is pretty costly these days.

Car is looking good George. Parts list looks decent also. What exactly is an otr tune?

[GeorgeLow]

Thanks buddy. Its On The Road tune. Its a more inexpensive alternative compared to dyno tune. Many say that you get a much more realistic tune as it is tuned on actual road conditions though you dont get the fancy graph with accurate torque/HP data. Its also part of the reason why I've decided to settle with OTR tune.

So I decided to try something wild for a change. Always loved the MINES concept and wanted to make a replica out of it. Some may love it whilst some may hate it. Would appreciate some kind comments. Gonna get her tuned with the new ECU this weekend. Cant wait.

I apologise for the poor quality photos. Will get a proper shoot when there's time.

[ebellis]

looks good, but not sure how I feel about Mines exterior without any Mines parts though

[V28VX37]

I like it, something different! Nicely executed too

[GeorgeLow]

ebellis - Thanks man. Thought about it before but does it really matter? At the end of the day, it makes me happy. Lol.

V28VX37 - Thank you for the kind comment, mate. I'm glad it came out beautiful.
