I ended up fixing my cooling problem, chucked the new thermostat in and it stayed consistent temperature. Just have to give it a proper run on the weekend.

The tyre on them are a 205/40R17. Abit of stretch which im in love with

Oh and this came yesterday



Hopefully if all goes well, work should be happening on saturday. So fingers crossed

Wanna see those mounted

Btw, i have done that, and one tip, use a heatgun, but be carefull not to "stress" (heat) too much on 1 spot or u will "burn" ur paint/clear coat
If u dont use a heatgun it will crank ur paint probably.

And if possible try to peak a "cool" day to doit.
Looking up for some more pics m8

[Cutlets]

Thanks man, more pics are coming

Well, Over the past few weeks, Ive had troubles with the cars cooling system, Overheating chronically, then fixing the faulty thermo to then, have the heater hoses at the back of the head replaced ($500) later. :/
Now shes all fixed and back into Daily duties.
I also have a big car meet on this weekend, so I will have pictures of that when I go.

AND NOW As I promised the pictures from my shoot!!!!

Thanks to my girlfriend for doing the photos, they are amazing!!

[Cutlets]

nice! keep it up!

Thanks man! Just a question how low is the rear of your car without the adjustable gear? Should I be better off running it without the adjustable stuff?

[Pekå]

well. mine is not even low enough without the adjustment. i will just run the springs

[Cutlets]

Oh yeah awesome. I might take them out and have a look if that doesnt get me low enough ill shop around fof some springs.

[Cutlets]

So, as I promised the only photo of my car from a car meet I went to on the weekend.

Big credit to THARP Photography for the photo.

I will post up the video that I made a Debut in aswell.

This is the first time the car has been out in amongst like minded car people, super stoked about the attention it received.
