Agree, will look cracking lowered with those rims. :bigthumb:

[cosmicmarc]

Yeah can't wait it's annoying seeing them with the car not sat right, I really love these rims so glad I got em.

Well all done, went to Grinspeed today and have to say well happy. Steve and his mate were great would recommend them easily, really friendly and helpful and good to talk to.

Had 30mm Eibach springs fitted and the full fast road setup done, also got my JDM REAR ARB fitted too.

Car looks great bit of settling in on the springs over next few weeks car feels better already. Steve also asked me to go back in 4 weeks check all the setup over make sure it's all fine after springs have bedded in.


Good day all in all.


Thanks to Steve @ Grinspeed.

Justa quick one I took on ramps at Stevens, didn't bother with anymore as its rather boring looking at a photo of a part if you ask me.

Here's a litte snap out my living room sat on the drive, not really taken any pics yet. Few more weeks and will have sagged down a bit more. Car handles soo much better IMO I think there's a noticeable difference, feels tighter and more planted a little closer to my old golf and mini just not quite as good.

Springs been on a few days now & decided a week without a clean it was time to hit the snow foam and a detail.

Next plans for the car moved on a little bit now, got ideas of DC Sports cat back then maybe long term plans Kpro and the manifold.

In between some little jobs I want to do next few month are paint the calipers red and the hubs black. Also upgrade and soundproof the front door speaker set up as not happy with the standard get up.

Here's some pics from today. Off the iphone.

Well few new things

Picking up a DC Sports cat back next week getting fitted 30th

Got some Focal Access 165A1 components for front and the tweeter covers, local lad fitting for me all been well. Maybe going to amp up at same time time depending on cash flow. Also looking at maybe getting a double din head unit.

Forgot to mention I put some Honda jazz washer jets on while back £12 off a breaker much better than the piddly squirt of the originals.

So back at Grinspeed 30th he is fitting the exhaust and also re checking my camber set up make sure it's all good after the springs have settled.


Currently mulling over saving up for a Diff

Love the wheels mate were did you find them for that price . i check e bay and they all need refurbing or are really expensive

[cosmicmarc]

A company in Yorkshire buy and sell stuff, I've seen 2 sets recently on eBay mate went for about £200-£250 I think. That's real cheap if you ask me my last wheels on my MK1 Golf cost me shy of £1300
