Exhaust sounds nice and deep.

Just needs the wheels to fill out the arches now.

That mod in the back seat looks expensive.

I hope theres a window down!

Yes they are very expensive mods. I have two.

[Jimmy S]

Hahah... Yes... She is definitely an expensive mod, but then again, she will hold her value pretty well!!

Definitely needs wider wheels ASAP...

Was that Jimmy S silver lancer I saw in King Edward Road, Osborne Park tyre shop?

with some rear bumber damage

[Jimmy S]

At a tyre shop in Osborne Park? Not that I am aware of? Was in Osborne Park the other day though?

[lozza]

Must be another silver lancer around with"jimmy" plates?

Must admit, I didn't see the S at the end, due to rear damage and bent number plate, but thought there was only one

OK... Time for a small update... Exhaust has been put on hold for a bit... Sticking with the stock one just for now as I've paid a deposit on a set of rims...

They are coming over from the US, so will be a couple of months or so before they get here, but I think they'll be worth the wait!

I ended up getting Varrstoen 3.3.2's in a 19 x 10.5" +22 (in black). They are a CE28 copy wheel when it comes down to it, but I've heard lots of good things and they are a fraction of the price of a genuine set of Volks!
Anyway, I am planning on running a 265/30R19 tyre I think... but I have plenty of time to decide before the wheels get here!

This is the wheel:



There is 1 other X over in SA running the same wheels(in a more aggressive +12 offset though), I can't say his photography is the best I've ever seen though so you'll all just have to wait until I get them to see some really dark photos of them on a silver X :

Haha I detailed that EVOX couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately i didnt take any good full body shots. wheels on it look soo good very wide and aggressive!

[Jimmy S]

Nice mate... I asked Jonno for a few more pics but none as yet!

Mine are a slightly less aggressive offset, so will sit 10mm further in which i think was a good option considering he's pumped his guards!

[hamish_023]

Jonnos car stance and wheels are almost too aggressive. Haha

Love the wheels and look though!

[Jimmy S]

I'm definitely going to struggle waiting for these to get here...

[hamish_023]

You have very nice nodding tastes. What brand tyres you going to run? What's next after the wheels come?

[Jimmy S]

Unsure what brand tyres at this stage... been checking out tirerack.com and seems there are a few 265/30R19 that will meet the load rating requirements...

After wheels, next will be exhaust and tune... should be good for around 265Kw @ hubs! heheh..

Then... lots of stuff... but no particular order at this stage...
