Love the wheels. Much better than any of the other experiments/variations.

Has it not been lowered at all?

@johnski - its running the Prodrive handling pack so should be 25mm lower than standard, but its definately not low enough

What springs did you go for? I thought it wasnt sitting high enough not to be lowered!

I would have kept the original headlights but what a stunning car that is, health to enjoy.

standard headlights are being refitted once a certain rms member buys himself a set, as I was a kind lad and loaned him mine :p

@gee - not yet, due to personal circmstances theres a bit of a delay on them, but im in no rush, so mid next week.

Glad you're going with the std headlights again Ollie. I also think your new revolutions are much better! They remind me a little of compomotive mo's which are wheel that I love!! I think Mr Burns would be very proud of what you've done! Are you fitting the Teins yourself?

Hurry up and get them fitted mate so I can see what they look like before I put my H&R ones in. If they sit too low for you we could always swap(y)

my first post is now apparently too large so i`ve to continue everything here :


February 09


the bellmouth H&S downpipe was fitted and the old regular downpipe has gone to a new home :grinning:

and most of all : thanks to mr.sheen and his magic spanners the teins are in! lowered the car lovely, but with the 8" wide rims, they just brush the rear occasionally and thats with full negative camber. Front is also set to full negative and getting the toe in sorted tomorrow to help avoid massive tyre destruction.

71.jpg


and its out with the morette twin headlamps and in with the oem crystals for a while

76.jpg



i think thats it for now, i`ve some other engine bits to go on then Simon Rowe (www.jollygreenmonster.co.uk) is going to map it in march
