New Guy

I finally got this site to work on this server so, time for my intro thread. I am new the VIP scene, I never really was into it, until I came to Korea last year. My time here is almost up and I will be heading back to the states. I have always been a Mitsubishi fan, being my first car and owning nothing but Mitsubishi since. I am not new to the DSM scene or the Import scene for that matter. Anyways the car in question is a 95 Diamante LS thats the 3.0L DOHC engine, exactly like the 3000gt. My plans are:

1. Twin turbo setup using 3000gt stock 9b turbos, piping and hopefully ICs
2. AWD setup sourcing my auto AWD tranny from Britian and my AWD subframe from a 3000gt
3. Air bag suspension, I have no idea what I will do here mostly why I came to this site.
4. Full face wheels, I am in love with the Euroline DHs in a staggered 19in setup.
5. Roll the fenders, and try to find a body kit(no luck so far), maybe piece one together from a late model LS?
6.Lastly paint the car, a really dark shade of green.

I know this car is not a true VIP car and I in no way am trying to act like it is, every site I go to I just get run off because I am not using a true VIP car and they just tell me to sell it and buy a real VIP car. I want to build this car mostly for the DSM community. Noone out there(that I have seen) has pulled off a clean, VIP styled 1st gen Diamante. I would really like some help, suggestions, aything as to your alls input on how I should go about this build. Pics of the car:

How so? As far as airbag suspension? I have seen many bolt on kits using strut type bags, not really sure if those are any good to use though.

From what I've seen Thailand has the non-platform game on lock.
There's a thread on here with Thailand car show pics. Inspirational to say the least.
Good luck.
