My Rivage project
You can see how much it's been lowered from the pics! Anyway what do you critics think?
This is how I bought her.
Then changed the rims and fitted a debadged grille.
Then some dial tweaks.
Now the coilovers.
Sorry for blurry images.

keep them original alloys for when you sell that car mind you, dont be tempted to flog. Pretty damn hard to come by as they should be 15inch versions.

very nice, makes me not want to sell mine now! whats the chin spolier from?
That's a VR6 Chin spoiler, they're really easy to fit and make a big difference. I've got one on mine, trouble is as it's lowered I get clearance problems getting off my drive. Still they're cheap so I'll just get another one from ECP when I've finally destroyed it.

Mk3 style handles
Recaro front seats
As with the rubbing issuses, my design 90's are a set of fronts (all 7.5 inches wide). I've not had a nny rubbing issues at all, and when I first fitted the coilovers it was seriously low. I only raised it when it wouldn't fit on the MOT ramp. It depends on what wheels you're fitting.
Heres a pic with the ride height at the mo.

I only paid ?30 for both front seats off ebay, a bargain but I wish i'd got the rears aswell. Can be a little expensive to get the rears retrimmed in the old cloth. I spoke to one guy in Hereford, where i'm from, and he looked at me like I was an alien. And then refused to do it.
Luckly they don't look to bad as they are, and they don't stand out that much either. I think of them like the red seats in a Integra Type R, like a feature.
Thay look so cool when you walk up to the car and you see the outline of the recaros and then the logo, still makes me smile :mrgreen:

Mate of mine had one of those and tbh I thought that was just typical of Japanese penny pinching!
You're best bet is to bribe your Mrs to recover the seats for you or look for the thread on here that's offering a re-trimmimg service in vinyl and see if they'll do cloth.
