Welcome to LOC :D

[D3NUM]

thanks folks,well my plans are at the moment as follows:

already fitted hid lights,on order is tein coilovers,strut brace,carbon grille,l.e.d carbon rear lights and 8.5 X 19" oz giotto II alloys which will be getting the centres colour coded to the car (grey). Think it should look good and i will post up some pics when its done,oh and since i build stainless steel exhausts for a living then i will be making one lol. Plans for next year will be s/charger or turbo conversion :D

Hi and welcome dont forget those pic's :D

[D3NUM]

Hi again folks and sorry its been so long since ive been on and not posted any pics yet :( . Well most of the mods are done now,just waiting on ordering my seibon carbon bonnet,front lip and rear lip,when i save the rest of the money lol :D . Its been a bit of a nightmare as not long after i joined the forum and put up my plans, one of my mates borrowed the car and lost it on a corner,hitting the o/s/r wheel of the kerb and bending the rear hub etc :( :( . I just left the car in the corner off the workshop till i basically had all the suspension,wheels etc etc and now its mostly done so heres the pics hopefully :D :D :D

This is it with one of the hid's fitted.

this is the rear wheel after the kerb impact :(

a wee bit rear steer i feel lol

still has the dirt and scars from the field :(

the motors for my edfc controller :D

my lovely new shiney tein coilovers :D

the new rear hub and link rod from lexus,oh how my mates arse hurts lmao

my new cheap eBay strut brace

carbon grille from usa :D

view with the strut brace and both hid's :D

a wee bit low i feel :(

the car with standard rear lights

now with the LED rear lights :D

the front of the car with my new number plate on it :D

the front wheel 19" oz galileo with toyo tyres :D still too low and needing adjusted :D

Well thats all for now,i will get more pics uploaded later tonight or tomorrow :D :D

[MrADeveci]

Moral of the story ? don't lend your car to your mate! lol

Those cheap strut bars don't do anything ... :D

Best colour IS though :)

[Unregistered_User]

You've certainly gone ahead and done as you planned.... Nice one. I presume you will be either smoothing the bumper or replacing it if you are relocating the number plate to it's position in the photographs?

I like the carbon grille btw...

What are the plans for the exhaust system?

All the best,

Jamie

[Paul Reece]

Cars looking nice mate, like them wheels.

Any chance of borrowing it the weekend.

All the best Paul.

that was only a quick picture of the plate mate,its actually in the normal place with the surround but i did think about getting the bumper recess smoothed but decided against it as it looked like alot of work and cost lol. The exhaust is made and its a 2 box cat back and i've opted for the jap style with a 4" straight cut box sitting slanted(pics to follow) and as for the wheels well i wanted a bigger dish but because i'm running the car as low i needed a low offset (47.5) but because they are a proper 3 piece wheel im looking into getting a new lips but with a 30mm dish front and 60mm dish at the back and trying to stretch the tyres as the tein suspension is solid and little or no movement :D :D :D

a picture of the car before it was raised slightly(couldn't turn the wheels at this height lmao)

at it ride height and with my company logo on it

and a picture of it in all its glory lol at JAE 2007 and it was nice and clean for once hehe

[Niraj]

Ahh hey, nice work on the car so far :) looking good.

I must've missed it at JAE cos I didn't see it? Looks nice and low :D
