Cheers guys!

No problems with regular speed bumps as of yet Adam. There's a big ass speed hump in front of Repco here in CBR but I couldn't even make it over with the Tein S-Techs....but there's another entrance so it's no biggy.

Looks fantastic! Thats pretty much the exact height I want my car at. Makes me want to get my swift springs installed tomorrow!

Do I get the award for the worst parking ever?

I finally got some ride height measurements....but then I forgot most of them.
Front lip is at 115-120mm.
Lowest point is about 95mm at my centre resonator...couldn't fit my body under there for an accurate measurement.
Rears are around 320mm, centre of rim to guard height.
My fronts are about 330mm.

I think that's low enough

Looking mighty good mate, a huge improvement in stance from how it was pre coilover install. Have you had a chance to push it hard as yet, interested to know
what you think of the handling characteristics now.

[paggaz]

Thanks guys

Grant, I haven't really had a chance to push them yet because the roads have been wet ever since I got back to Canberra. I've thrown it into a corners every now and I feel it has more slightly body roll than the Billy/Tein combo with the current dampening setting. So I decided to up the dampening settings a little, it was too tight adjusting the rears with an alan key so I ordered some adjusters from Capital Steering and Suspension (who's the XYZ dealer here).

I reckon its sitting perfect now Nathan.

Latest addition is a set of LED smoked tail lights. I also installed my chrome indicator bulbs into them.

The picture below shows the tail lights on...When they're off, there is no colour in them at all (other than the rectangular reflector in the bottom inner corner) Unfortunately I didn't get a pic with the lights off...



I'm also quite proud to show off the car now that she's crystal clean.

It had a thorough wash a few days ago. Pre spray, snowfoam, detailing brush to get into all the cracks etc, rinse, two bucket method wash, rinse, wheel clean, rinse again, dry with waffleweave micro fibre towel, aquawax application and buff, glass cleaner....I think that's all..

Perfect opportunity for a lil photoshoot. TGIF. Enjoy. :drinks:

This looks fucking fantastic

Just hurry up and get some new wheels hahaha.

Looks tops mate.

I know, I know!

I'm pretty happy with the look atm...on most angles I don't mind these wheels too much. That said, if a nice set of wheels come up at a good price, I'll consider it!

There are a few priorities higher than wheels too. Rear camber bushes and perfect alignment is a big one. After that...short shifter, custom quads, TMIC, dent removal (vandal dropped something on my bonnet which will be an expensive fix)...they're just a few things off the top of my head.

Looks great mate well done !! Any chance to go back to stock gtb rims they look the goods!

[shav]

I like the rims as they are. The cleanliness, the stance, and the subtle details just make the look killer. A credit to you mate

I painted my scoop insert black today. I think it ties in nicely with the grill and lower air dam, whilst giving the illusion that the scoop opening is larger.

Also white lettered my tyres. Pretty old school style, but just another thing to break up the tyres and black rims rather than a pinstripe. Another sort of love or hate thing...

[HoFF]

Scoop looks great. White letters not so much.
