    Not much going on at the moment due to zero money..

    Fitted some spacers on the back though (I'll get some pics at some point) and need to roll front arches to get lower as they scrub like fuck with the height I want..

    Smoked front indicators on, along with yellow(ish) bulbs instead of amber ones for the running lights.





    Also all red rears..



    I could only find green bulbs that are expensive or are from the US with silly postage costs, but I had some paint in the shed to make them shine the correct colour.

    Before



    During (yes, I'm a pikey and I don't care)



    After.



    Hah, much more plod pleasing colour. Hasn't burnt off yet but time will tell

    Not much going on. Got some new RCA leads/amp/sub etc but it's too cold to do anything..

    I did give it a bath and got some pictures not in the dark!



    Had to take the wife so I could use her key to get into the estate..

    I done that too, trying to stop all the shit sticking to the grease with these. Still waiting for the other two in the post..

    Smaller front spacers are on. No scrubbing now



    Also changed oil/filter. Lowered the front more too..

    A bit dark for pics!








    Got some rear bumpstops and new topmounts for the back, not fitted yet, the old ones squeek and do my head in!

    Trying to stop the new coilover threads seizing up like the old ones did..

    Got the suggestion of "Lizardskins" used for mountian bike suspension from a member on another forum.

    I could either fit one on each strut (under the springs) or use two on each side (covering the spring too)

    It's one hell of a squeeze getting just the one over the threads and will be a pain in the arse fitting/adjusting once on the car. Soo looks like I'll have to buy another two for the otherside. Had a quick mock up on my old coils..





    Measured the ones on the car and once compressed with the cars weight, they're more than long enough to go right to the top of the spring. I'll just use insulation tape on the threads under the adjusters because I know this works and keeps them clean. Should work me-thinks
