I've put some foam where it lean against again the scuttle but still rattles a little when boot it, will bring it to my tuner later on this week and try to sort it

it performs good and sounds good but yes fitment wise is not brillant ...

don't wanna fork out £50 for tidy panel too...but we will see lol..

Nice car mate, the mugen spoiler really makes a difference! I need to find myself one of those.

thanks mate, yeah it does, i bought it from ebay a seller call salla400 sells them...now the best quality but can't find any cheaper for a new one

[keithlou]

so today test fitted my NT03's...

only trial fit as I need some new tyres and maybe a refurb for the wheels but was just trying to get an idea of how does it look on my car





of course it looks strange as it's jacked up but just trying to get an idea...i like it personally

original wheels with 215 45 17 re050 feels lighter then nt03 with 225 45 17 arrorspeed .. could be the tyre i guess

comments welcome!

Sorry mate but not feeling that at all . The colour white is okay it's just the alloys just wired lol oem white looks better .
But that's just my opinion mate

feel so much better to drive!! ABP eibachs are good stuff not only for looks it defo rides better now going over bumps etc, only bad points is they're catching my arches now so need them rolled also a bit of a banging noise when going over potholes?

Rigid collar fitted and JDM r-arb too so should be nice and stiff round corners!
