Just bought a stainless steel back box, £32 lol.

Ill get it on ASAP. Im also on the brink of buying a sub and amp.

Lewis 26th November 2009 16:36

Hey Tom, just out of interest did you pay much extra on your insurance for lowering your car?

P.S. Just bought yellow rim tape, will be putting that on soon and ill upload some pics of the calipers/drums.
sounds like a decent swap like just upta you what wheels u prefer.

is the rim tape yellow?

Lewis 27th November 2009 18:12
Yea its yellow, im gonna have to sort out the tyre rubbing before i put the tape on but my luck ive gone and lost the locking nut attachment :(

If i get bored of the alloys i mite do a swap :)

I just got my backbox fitted ill post some pics in the daylight.

Lewis 28th November 2009 17:40

Tom5190 28th November 2009 20:30

Lewis 29th November 2009 13:47
Lol, i was thinking about where to go next. After christmas my sound system and spoiler will be done, then i think ill give ya call tom and we can start slammin her :P

Cutz 29th November 2009 14:12
Good progress on car mate, not keen on exhaust but other than that coming on smartly! I'd still remove reflectors regardless of rear lights, but that's just my opinion, keep at it and drop her :)

i like! slam it!

crazyrichard 29th November 2009 14:34
one thing strikes me your car is so high stock
my 1.1 is lower on stock springs ..
how would that be possible
i also looked at your hight with the stock wheels :y:

Its wierd that actually, my mate has a forte and im definatly shure his is lower on standard settings, if me and tom have a go at lowering it we'll take some measurements to be shure.

The exhaust is massive, but when you hear it all your doubts go away xD

Im not shure about the reflectors, you reckon the police will stop me about it if i remove them?

Cheers for feedback everyone :)

Mine was really high as standard tbh, i dont think you would get pulled without the reflectors like but its weather you want to run the risk or not.

crazyrichard 29th November 2009 18:10
look at mine it is bone stock i only pulled of the plastic wheel caps
looks way les high (?)




one where i put my new rim in front for getting an idea also 15"so you can see pretty much it looks lower (?)

Try get a pic of your car from level with the top of the wheel and ill do the same, then we can check accuratly.

Mabey its something to do with Desire vs Forte ??

crazyrichard 29th November 2009 18:42
how do you mean ecaxtly from the side horizontal ??

crazyrichard 29th November 2009 18:50
this one shows my front hight real good


compare that to your front then the angle of the shot doent matter that much
looks like a big difference


weird thing is there are a couple of other 1.1 posted in teh photo thread thy also look kinda high

it wouldnt be a uk thing now would it ??

Mcinabout 29th November 2009 19:41
Looking good mate:y: Should look good with a spoiler on,Hopefully sometime in the new year ill have my dropped too:y: Liking the rimtape. Keep up the good work.

Lewis 29th November 2009 20:22
Cheers, your cars looking sweet too ;)

Mabey the UK saxo's were slightly different in ride hight but until i get the measuring tape out i cant be shure.

Heres what i mean by a side on angle:


Ill take another photo with the arch in view tommorow.
