Default Finally some new pics

Well, it was a ****ty day and I got bored. Found a good spot and took some pics. First two are by the beach 3 blocks from my house, the others are back in the woods a little ways off a backroad. All taken with a Casio Exilim point and shoot.

Beach:

Why is it that you and I have the same suspension setup and your car sits at least 1.5 inches lower?

nice pics, btw!

The only other 2 pics I have of the rear:


I'm not the biggest fan of the hood pins either, but my whole latch mechanism/cables was broken, and they were way easier and cheaper.

Wolf, thanks. Dunno why mine sits lower, maybe it's just the appearance? You have races too? What size wheel/tire setup are you on, maybe thats it.

just realized I never responded to the thread. Yep, pulled me over for just the euro plate. Then proceeded to try to tell my my car was illegal to drive because it was too low, the tails were illegal, the tires were illegal, the corners were illegal, etc. Complete prick. He's a cop in my town (1mile x 1mile) and has seen my car for the last 2 years, must have wanted to show off to the rookie who was with him No tickets though, but he did piss me off



Ji, they're 18x8.5's IIRC. ET40 I believe. Not great fitment, but decent for the$$ I have into them (<200). The Millies will probably back go on in the summer with some 255's in the rear

I think those rims look real sharp. They remind me of the M-parallels but have their own unique look to them.

Don't think it's a manufactured bar, pretty sure the PO had it custom bent up and installed. Eventually I'll install the harness bar and get some better interior pics

it's looking good!

I'm not normally a bit fan of red tis but the smoked tails/corners really make a difference. Also nice wheels
