oldmandon 1 Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Nice motor, best colour!!!!!! Now see I liked the wheels it came on, the wheels you've fitted are nice, but my preference is for the others.....easier to clean for one thing, see more of the brakes as well.But good job so far.

yakuza racer 16 Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Coil overs have been fitteeeeed.saturday morning i get the call the coilies are at the airport, i shoot through pick them up and head to my buddies shop to have them fitted, took us under 2 hours to fit them, but as i was trying to get off the lift my car got stuck on it :shock: :shock: , soooooooo jack it up adjust the coilovers and drop it again, just making it off the ramp.the car is still a little tooo low, but i can safely go over a speedhump and get up my friends driveway, so it might actually be just right will update with some recent pics as soon as i can , the drive is a little hard but MUCH better than normal shocks and a drop kit... handles VERY well through corners, and it feels more alive on the roads now.some shitty iphone picsa pic from the last shoot........
