    Mirrors will be changed, its just money i need to use else where at the moment but have my heart set on a pair of ganadors. Kits getting modded a little too, not happy with the front bumper but the fit of the kit beats the shit out of any kit ive had.

    The only thing ive came up with is unplugging the TC and ABS so i can skid it

    Those cheap JDM copies can get tae fuck. probably going to need a lot of arch work. to make these fit but it will make the car imo.

    Looking to get coilovers from BC as they have ones that fit in spring rates I require 22kg/18kg out of the box. I'm not a fan of BC ride quality but they are the most cost effective choice until I get something more suited to my needs

    So I need to do some arch work and fit the bumpers properly but it was rained off for tonight. there is a fair bit of room in these arches, more than I thought there would be but will still need cut and welded to clear at my desired ride hight.

    Desperately need coilovers. Cut springs are killing me

    thanks guys

    just drift wheels for the moment as they got fresh rubber. I'll see what funds are left once everything else is done, prob buy a set of matching skid wheels in close as possible sizes to what I have already

    Different, ive not really had a proper go on track but you have lots of stability and confidence over say an S body. it puts a smile on my face like no other. Makes you feel like a million bucks even if you broke

    If you need any help with the e-throttle let me know. If its like the aristo you can't just remove it. Why do you want to get rid? I bypassed and noticed no difference. Then when I got syvecs its better having it..

    Where'd your kit come from?
