car looks good on those wheels. Gotta love air horns, except for their delay lol. I was thinking of adding a little tank with a solenoid so they work instantly
Cheers. Yea, the wheels definitely suit it, but it looks like it's on stilts though, so definitely got to drop it soon. I might have a go at doing that on Monday, depending on how much is booked in at my mate's shop.
ShyBoy, I do love the footwell illumination, it just makes it a bit easier to get in and out as well, as you can see if there's any crap in the foot well.
The air horn delay is a bit annoying, but I don't mind it too bad.
I've had a play with Photoshop, and had a few ideas, and this is what I've come up with for next on the list of modifications - lowering it and refurbing the alloys to match the car.
As it sits now:

What do y'all think?
I'm usually not a fan of 17'" rims but damn that looks good!![]()
thats too much green imo lol. i would try gunmetal or something to make the rims stand out.
drop will make it awesome

Well I've been busy today and dropped it. Coil over kit on the front, and 3 coils chopped out the rear, and this is the result!
And it got some really nice camber on the front end too!!

I think you need to find me a set of those bumpers squirters. We didn't get those here so Ill need the entire kit. The reservoir, switch, squirters (don't need bumper), Any other applicable pieces. I've never seen those before
I've sent you a PM about it![]()
Another few photos of the lownessI really love how it sits, though I might drop the front down some more!

^ Thanks A20A1......... sounds good.
Sorry, my bad on the YouTube video. I thought most forums these days could embed YouTube videos into them. Guess not.
Yea, it sounds even better when driving round town as it echoes off all the buildings![]()
drop looks goodare your rear springs still captive?
Cheers man. I'm thinking of going lower too! 60mm on the front and 40mm on the rear just isn't enough. I want maybe 80mm on the front and 60mm on the rear, make it look a bit better.
Yea, the rears are still captive. Kinda have to hold them in position whilst you drop the car off the jack so that they go where they're meant to, as I've cut 3 coils off of them. LOL
Got the side panels for the trunk build all built and trimmed in now tooReally pleased with how it's come out

Done a bit of smoking. 25 cigarettes!!! Was smoking so much, Marvin decided he wanted to look cool too so he got his smoke on!

Cheers man. I smoked them with lens tiring spray. Just wipe them down and spray. I still need to t cut them to clear up the imperfections, but rain called off that today.
I am still undecided about the wheels. Eventually I will get a set of Rota RB 16" in anthracite with the polished lip, but not just yet as I have no money!
As for beers, that's what the back seat is for ain't it?![]()
Smoking is bad for you but good for your tail lights!![]()
New rimmage!!
