cheers mate

well

coilovers about a 100mm drop, compomotive ms wheels in 13x7 et-7, new exhaust and bike carbs hopfully if the plan goes as it should haha   8)

kyle

got these to go on as soon as the suspension is here

Alright mate looks real nice you looking to offload those pirelli alloys as you got those very nice  MS' to go on instead  

Looks great, keep the pictures coming.

100mm drop, just a little lower then!

Love the wheels 8)

got the new coilovers and wheels on 2day, i had a few clearence issues with the wheels and brake calipers but thats all sorted now

what you think ?









i think im as low as i can go as the car still has to be used daily

same color and year as my old formel e, looks wicked with the compo's and coils on  8)

little update

was checking the timing today and doing a few other things so i thought it would be rude not to spray the cam cover as it was all rusty

what you think ?





also the bike carb manifold is also done soo should be rocking Kawasaki zzr 1100 carbs soon  

looking good mate, nearly got the same wheels for my car,
Let me know how it goes with the carbs on there, got the same engine in mine and was thinking about doing the same. Did you get a manifold made up for it?

the wheels were abit of a mission to get on as they rubbed the calipers big time  :evil: but nothing a grinder and some spacers couldnt sort  

well ive made the manifold myself as i did the same conversion on my 1.6 mk2 golf



ill let you know how it goes mate

I like it, looks great with the wheels and coilovers added.

looks great mate, proper tidy to start off with, then made better with a healthy slam and some nice rims, good job sir!
