    Have been doing we bits to it since i got it like buying the bbs wheels, upgrading the brakes to the skyline ones which are fantastic, remapping the car for super unleaded courtesy of Richard Bradly yesterday. Plus the usual servicing. Love driving the thing plan is to leave it now till spring. Its already MOT'd which it flew through so just a matter of registering and tax, £150 and il be the first owner on the log book when i register it in the spring. It sitting in the shed until then.. I went way way down south for the car. Only plan that i know it needs is for me to lower it about 20mm, see how it looks. and give the rear bumper either a lick of paint or put standard one on. Other than that, its a fantastic road car really responsive and drives nice.


    C&C welcome :)

    Very nice, I'd be looking to spray the splitter white though.

    The splitter is carbon in the middle and a nice shade of black corner pieces, It looks better in real life or with a better camera and def wont look better sprayed white

    Does anyone know, as i lower the back end more will the wheel tuck in slightly more to the arch ? At the min its to high, as i said i know it needs lowered (actually sprayed the coilovers with wd40 today in prep for lowering soon) At the minute the wheel lip is beyond the arch lip slightly just wondering how the wheel allignment changes as the car is lowered slightly. I reckon a bit of arch rolling may be needed but i would prefer to not actually pull the arch, i will roll the lip up a bit but not pull the shape of the quarter panel

    Yes as the car goes lower the more - camber you get so it should be fine aslo think about streched tyres aswell if there isnt any on there at the mo

    Small visit of arch roller is another option too.

    Ye i have access to a roller (and on that note, whats the technique to using one these items?)
    I only really want to curl the lip up and out of the way, i dont fancy re-shaping the actualy lip profile or pulling the quarter panel outwards
