1996/7
UK model
when i picked it up..

and brief what has been done..
engine bay a good clean + full service

tried my schmidt MLs, didnt like them..

some bits off to the powdercoaters..
before..


after..

[/quote]
coilovers + lots of chopping..


Engine raise..
before the sump hit the block of wood..
now it sits like this..

shows where the washer used to sit..

new roof..



whoring..


after more modding to the coilovers (+ 195/40 tyres up front, as inner arch was sitting on the old ones, stopping me from going lower) im now sitting like this..


which is about -140mm from standard..
then this happend in the space of a 24hours..






around 15mm lower now up front and dont i know it, throwin sparks constant now..


stuff to do:
*fit 32mm spacers on front (for now untill i can source some 50mms)
*get a new front lip (garage vary one should see it sitting flush with the tarmac)
*165/45 tyres up front aswell as 5mm lower
*195/45 tyres on rear aswell as 15mm lower (make the car sit a touch more level)
*rear roll cage
*ducktail spoiler
hope you enjoyed the read..
