Hi to all, been browsing this forum for a while now but have not posted yet!! Gotta say very impressed with the quality of cars you guys have. so I thought I would share my coupe with you guys from the start to now......
Here she is when she started out in life bought her for £2000 in 2005 was cheap back then!! With 72000 miles on the clock and full service history, bonus!
First mod I did was get some 17" bk alloys bit of a regret in the end grew to dislike them a lot
Had to get a new exhaust coz mine started blowing so invested in a supersprint cat back system nice sound not too loud but loud enough.
Not much changed for a while till I got the jdm/usdm bug mainly from websites and decided to smooth my front bumper cut the vent out and relocate the front numberplate, smoothed the numberplate holes and after that decided to take it to the bodyshop to get it resprayed, same colour tho!! Also got amber corners.
(note the tractor look!!) :O
Then I realised the door handles were a bit tatty after the respray so found some carbon (look) handles from ebay, and at the same time got some German wind deflectors.
Then it was getting close to japfest. Really didn’t like the wheels so got some black rota gt3s 16" looked much better but made it look even higher
Heres some pics of my car at japfest with the high riser look, mmm lovely!!
and some after, spent 3 hours cleaning it thought i would make the most of it!!
After that not much happened, till I got some money!! And decided to bus some flat side repeaters
then got some vented and drilled frond discs and mintex pads.
(before)
(after)
then bought a mugen style front lip and hks panel filter and some stickers!!
the lip made a massive difference visually made the front bumper not look so high and links in with the sideskirts, much better. hks panel filter is brilliant instant change better throttle response and runs much better now.
Thought it was finnaly time to get it lowered, so got some Ohlins dc2 shocks and rear lcas from ebay (bargain)
And got a new rear number plate surround...
And heres a few recent whoring pics......
Hope you guys like, will keep this updated!!
