I dont think I've ever made a build thread as i didnt see the need, how ever the car is looking half decent in my opinion,

through the stages

And as it sits

needs to go lower on the front, but overall I'm happy

Lowered the front abit more, but at the bottom of the coils now :( debating if its a good idea for the helpers to come out,

and matted the back arch, it had been resprayed in the past and wasnt the best, neither was my attempt at fixing it :/ so its a little bit ratty atm, but not over the top ratty imo

Let me know what you think???

Cleaned it Today feels alot better being in it when its clean tbh :p

Those look like Lenso's to me.. if not, what are they?

i would say they were bbs

they are genuine RMs you can see by the markings they come 15x6.5 as standard believe ?

Looks alright.

What coilovers do you have? That is not low at all really to be at the bottom of the coils. My old 6N had about an inch of thread left and that was alot lower with the helpers still in!

You should colour-code the centres of the RM's to the car, would look spot on then!

they're defiantly BBS mate id be pretty pissed off if they werent personally, ill put a picture of the centers up later,

Well when i bought them, two were already Powder coated a Sparkly Silver, so i thought it would be a waste to just powder coat over them, so got a close match and went for a Oem look, Got the Bolts Acid dipped and Zinc plated just as BBS would have made them and theyve got the bbs stamp on them

Got standard polished dish for the front and got 1.5 dish on the back, i did consider matching the centers to the car and agree itd definatly look good, and different tbh

I dont know why it wont go lower, ill just take the helper springs out on the week end and see how it goes from there

As promised

Ah my bad, they need more dish though

I was gonna buy this at one stage, but good to see you kept it!

Yeah on the back its not bad... 7.5J but the fronts only standard 6.5, will do for now yeah me and this car have like a love hate relationship tbh.. when i decide to sell it, i change my mind again haha, but will defiantly be sold when i get a new car

Sorted out problem with the coilovers i figured out why it wasnt low enough hows that ??

Helpers out?

Looking nice an low now fella

No mate, had a little play with the top mounts, got it lower that way , but... drive shafts are rubbin now :/

Those look like Lenso's to me.. if not, what are they?
