Overal im quite happy with the car. Bit worried IF i should spend any more money on it OR save up for a Turbo car. If i was to spend anymore money on it it would possible be on a Fast Road Setup and maybe lower it.
Lowering the car would worry me, as i having so many problems with speedhumps over in my place. Worried of scratching the B pipe. Any sugguestions of improving the handling without ruining the ride (not too hard ).
Heres some pictures when it was nearly stock.

Then Mrs bought a D80 so played around with it :lol:

Recently i bought a Seibon Buddyclub bonnet. Been trying to adjust the bonnet catch, but still there was no luck in filling up the gap in the left hand side :evil:
Am i to assume that it just a bad fit and theres no way of making it look decent ? :scratch:

im not sure my NHB can continue the legacy and the styling that was on yours. yours looks with the Mugen grille / Lip / Alloys :twisted:

Nice pictures. Car looks good. Only thing I'm not a fan of is the carbon dash. Never really liked it. Not sure why?

 

[CunniBlingus]

Some great pics there mate!

That is indeed my old plate

The car is looking good, some nice alloys would set it off a treat

i was thinking along the line of Some Rotas OR Black Team Dynamic. Quite like the look of Black on Black

I edited the thread title to subtle and you've changed it back.

What does suttle mean?

blonde moment, My wales trip yesterday has finally caught up
One question to all you guys who have fast road setup with their standard OEM Suspension. Just how much difference is it. How does it feel on the roads / cornering etc ?
As mention Im thinking of lowering but worried that it will ruin the ride, as theres days where it does get a bit bumpy. Also more importantly i have a low spoon B Pipe which i like to keep from scratch free. Any sugguestions please .

I like the carbon dash.

Good spec list there, apart from the J's front strut bar

Only a fud would buy such a thing!

[jack_type_r]

nice looking car you have here, as for the fast road set up you asked about, its meant to improve the handling of the car and sort out the camber adjustment im looking in to it atm so will let you know how i get on

 

[dotty]

Do yourself a favour and get some eibachs/spoon springs

Trust me they make all the difference!

*UPDATE* fitted some Tein S tech Springs , groved vented disk today.
Only done a 2minute test drive, but really really impressed with the handling. No bodyroll so far, and not too bad over humps and bumps.
Will get pictures up later on
