Sorry for the poor photo quality, the weather's crap here today. Let me know what you guys think. |

No, the Australian market car is called the 200sx since it is a 2.0L turbo 4 cylinder just like the JDM Silvia. I believe the US gets a 2.4L NA 4cyl and that is why it is called a 240sx. BTW, thankyou to everyone that has posted positive comments on my car...... I aim to please :) |
Great looking car...well done.

The ride is beautifully smooth considering I'm still on the standard shocks. The car is a little firmer and sits flatter around corners when pushed hard but is quite liveable on a daily basis. I can't wait until they settle in. Highly recommended. |

I love the front but the back looks like it could do with another 0.5" taken out of it. I'm still curious why the front's ended up lower, even though H&R quote 1.0" all around. :confused: :confused: :confused: I hope this is only temporary and it'll level out once it settles. |

Sorry I don't have any underbody shots, but here's a pic I took earlier of the backview: |
I am definitely in the small minority on this one, I don't like those rims. The drop looks nice and agressive though, well done!

Each to their own I suppose. I wasn't even sure I liked them when I first got them, but they've grown on me. ;) |
19" is too large. Looks gaudy. Like an SUV or something.
The off center slots look bad. The over all appearance from a distance looks good. |

I would agree that 22's are too large and belong on a SUV. 19's are a perfect size for a 8. :D The original RX Evolve concept car had 20" rims but unfortunately they didn't make it to production. :mad: http://www.21stcentury.co.uk/cars/mazda_rxevolve.asp As for the off center slots, well.....at least it's different from all the other wheels out there with center slots. :) Can't please everyone it seems. :cool: |
