It'd look great if you ever washed the thing... :p

 

It was in impromptu drive. Just warming her through so she's not sat too long over winter period :-)

 

Also this was the first time she'd been driven after a clean!! The rain and frost we had must of had a hell load of dirt in. These photos were taken after only 10 mins of driving :(

:lol:

 

If it's any consolation mine has been washed once and driven once this week. It's currently dirtier than it was before it was washed! :dry:

 

Terrible. So much salt and grit on roads really isn't good for these cars keeping it under cover as much as possible. It's got decent protection on so should be fine :-)

Without any bias since I've fitted the urethane bushes I've got to say the combo of the HKS coilover, antiroll bars and all round urethane bushes has led to an amazing handling car with the right compliance and good manners for fast road and trackwork.

I've been lucky to see through the transformation of this car and the difference is so blatant which is not a surprise as I have undergone the same transformation first with poly bushes then with full solid monoball bushes albeit with a more aggressive track geometry and stiffer spring rates. I also have done the same setup for paul(Jmamji) except he not got coilovers yet and so I have been able to quantify what makes what differences.

All I can say is if you are going to put coilovers, ARBs etc then overhaul the bushes as they underpin the whole suspension and then you will truly transform the car as opposed getting half benefits doing all that on worn out bushes.

Then I had a little play editing;

Overall very happy with the wheels I was getting bored of the stock silver look. Comments welcome! :)

Looks great and love the front bumper ..... Next time it's in the spray shop though get them to blend it in with the wings and bonnet ;)

 

Haha yes the edit makes the bumper look good. It's being re done next month hopefully 😀

 

Had mine blended in after front bumper sprayed , makes it look spot on then . I also had the rear bumper sprayed but not blended in , it hurts my OCD .... :(
