  • Made my Car wider :D :D :D and then crashed

    NOT SUITABLE FOR 56k



    well.. after deciding i didnt want to sell my 200.. i thought i would just man up and make it even wider..
    the day before japfest...

    big woops, but i was optimistic, and we got it finished at 4am.. (and left for the show at 5:30am)


    heres the pics, big thanks to all the guys who helped me, and to DAZE for the good pics

    just thought i would indulge you guys as i now have rear custom flaire







    AT this point we got bored and sprayed my wheel centres KITCHEN UTILITY WHITE
    so basically the colour of your cooker/fridge lol




    TEST fit





    then spray time









    cheeky polish and then pic time








    DAZE's PICS










    MY FAVOURITE SHOT







    and then just for the fun of it.. on the way to JAPFEST i had a 70mph blowout.. NOT COOL

    but no damage to the car, and was a bit of a joke at jfest, sucks i was on a spacesaver though, so the round trip was done at no more than 50mph or 80kmh depending on your spedo
















    sorry for anyone rocking out 56k web...

        Terrifying, Did it rub or just poor quality tyre ?

          was 6 months old and had swapped them over when spraying, so must have been weak on the side wall and just decided that was the day, prob not great having them baking at 70 degrees in the oven for a few hours as well

          both michelin tyres, 235/40/18 on a 10j, i usually run 225's

                        so... yesterday.... Daze, Ads, ben and I went to B+Q ... parked in the car park... and Dropped the ride height by an inch and a 1/4 - aka 32mm

                        had to go to b+q as its the only flat area near me i can use for measuring the ride height


                        anyway heres the ride height... feel free to comment... its still settling, and has droppped a few more mm today

After it told me it's sob story of falling on hard times, I'd offer to lend it a few quid(c wut i did thar) for rent money. I'd probably buy it's daughter a few outfits for school as well. Eventually, I'd take it to a family pic of mine and introduce it to everyone. We'd date for a while until a nice G35 came around and enticed me with the leather seats and navigation that I would never even use anyway. I'd end up breaking that tegs heart and it would walk on me. THAT'S how much I love this car.
