Hello everyone! my name is john and i own the arc themed dc2

Hello! after a bit of nudging and hinting by other members i have finally decide to join my first forum. Many who have been to japfest, mimms or ace cafe would have seen my car which apparently is becoming known as the ARC teg. I have owned her for around 3-4 years and has always been in my top 5 cars i dreamed of owning, she has never ever disappointed me and continues to serve me faithfully as a track car, show car and daily commuter. When i purchased her she was near stock with only some 17" arospeed rsgts a spoon rocker cover, spoon airbox element and a j's racing 60rs exhaust system, over the years much of my time and money has been lavished on this car to make it my own, i have made many mistakes but also had many sucesses on route to making it not only unique but a car i would never wish to get rid of. The spec is as follows and forgive me if i forget some of the upgrades:

I am sure there is lots i have missed but it gives you an idea of how far it has come since purchase, many upgrades are still in the pipeline such as an engine rebuild due to the falling power levels because of its very worn 130,000 mile engine, a more serious set of wheels and possibly a pair of brides to replace my worn recaros!
