Hi!
Thought I'd better post some pics up. anyways the mods are as follows

Lowered on Koni adjustables / Tein S-tech springs
Tein Strut Brace (Front)
5zigen FN01RC alloys 18x8.5" covered in 245/40/18 GoodyearEagle F1 tyres
DC sports cat back exhaust
FEED intake
OEM front lip

To fit in future are.....

racing beat hi-flow cat
vertex front,side and rear skirt
Tein mono-flex coilovers

And possibly doing a respray if I find the time and patience to do it :)

Here's a few pics and a couple of vids from a trackday I did (includes a few other cars)

Hey Craig! Been here a while but never really posted before :) been a lurker! :lol:

I think they look like 17"s due to the spokes not reaching the outside of the lip, I kind of like the smaller look though, more racerish!!!

I'm from the UK, Birmingham to be exact!

The dude hanging from my rear view mirror is Domukun......you can actually watch him dancing in the last video from Curborough :lol: :lol:

Thanks for the comments! :D

I will get a guide wrote out in the next couple of weeks for swapping it out if folk want it?

tyre shine......nah, wouldn't be worth it as they'd be filthy again 5 minutes later :lol:

I'll write up a DIY then including parts, where I bought them from, and how to do it :)

I'll try and get some pics too from the next time I do it, however until I get pics I'll try and describe it as best I can :lol2:
