Hi everyone,
Been a while since i was last here, after crashing lowreds beutiful lexus is200, i finished all my crying and eventually got my arse in gear on the rebuild.
first to find a damn cheap lexus i can put my mark on, eventually found one in the burn orange colour at £3600 which was great until the laquer started peeling. :tsktsk:
next to find a bodykit the same as the one lowred had used, finally found one of them whole kit set me back another £900 :winky:
the wheels on the car were all imports from america so after damaging one in the accident thats another £300 :tsktsk:
then i realised the biggest mistake id ever made was putting locking wheel nuts on the car key got knackered on one so had to drill the rest out small cost but time was a killer!!!
ok so now i have the bodykit on and fitted a sport xhaust fitted weels all back on the car..... damn laquer looks crap so in for a respray another £2500 tried getting as close to the red on low reds but ended up a fraction darker B)
ok so for the fun bit i have obviously got all the airbag suspension kit to go back on the car this weekend fingers crossed, the airbags have been all rebuilt by a local factory and the compressor has new rings etc.
unfortuanatly i dont think i have any pics of the car in stages but will post some tomorrow afternoon when i get the car back out of the spray shop.
Watch this space ppl !!!!! :D :D :D
Looking for some good advice on turbo or supercharger, wont ever want it over 240bhp as i have a astra vxr too and never want to take the joy out of driving it besides how fast does it really need to be!!!!
