Cheers for the advice, ive herd good things about Manic Motors, but a friend offered to drop the torsion bar and i can get 35mm lowering sprigs for £30. So all things considered ive got that covered IF i get to do it.

The window tints sounded cheap, i was quoted £45 to fit the rear window if i supplied the tints. So i reckon ill get them myself, fit the rear side windows and pay for the rear to be done.

If i get the money after new year its: Spoiler, tints, possibly lowering depending on insurance.

Im baiting out about insurance, got told that lowering it means it invalidates your insurance? Really wana do it, but how much would it bump up my premium per year if i did slam it and tell them?
Also mate, how much you get a quote for your torsion bar for?

I called up my insurance (Quinn Direct) and they said they would need an engineers report, these usually cost around £20 at a local garage, and providing that the lowering doesnt change the handling of the car there shouldnt be any problems. Otherwise your looking at around anywhere from £20 - £200 increase.

Fuck are they on about ? Obviously it will change the handling... for better !

Exactly, so why do they want more money! Lol

get tints :)

As soon as ive installed my sound system and spoiler (Which i have ready to go in) its next on the list :y:

this is nice :y:

This morning i recieved a large parcel, my spoiler! Its blue so im going to have to respray it, and i have no idea when it will be on my car but ill do my best.

Also i bought some alluminium ducting to have a go at making an induction pipe, cheers chris. Lastly i almost have everythin i need for my sound system, which will hopefully go in my car before christmas.

Cheers for looking

I would get really dark front tints if i was riding dirty at that height... iJoke

Nice progress keep the dream alive!! :y:

^ Lmao Cheers

Can't you take them reflectors of the rear bumper? And get silvertech bulbs for front, also looks good car! Milage is amazing!

Love the viynl tape on the alloys, where abouts did you get it from and was it hard to fit?

The reflectors are neccesary apparently, as the lexus lights dont have them, besides ill be getting new lights eventualy anyway. As for the bulbs, theyre on my list :)
Ebay! Halfords sell it too

Cars looking pretty sweet mate, as with mine needs lowering :)

Also have you thought about a VT kit? Looks good though :y:

Yea i considered a VT kit, especially as silver is common. Only thing is my parents are very reluctant about 'big' mods to the car seens how they bought it. Besides im a student, so i never have money :P

I think ill be keeping this car for a while so who knows, mabey one day

Another update, nothing fancy. Installed my front comps and pioneer head unit, a new battery, and my DIY induction hose which im proud of ;)

Small quiery for you experts out there, i have a blue hose as seen in the engine image below, i believe its an oil breather and i need a hose of somekind to go to the air filter. Thing is the inline filter i bought for it has very small tubes each side. So i would need 2 tubes which go from about 15mm wide at one end to about 3/4mm at the other, any ideas?

Cheers

wow! nice battery i want one of them, how much extra bhp it give u lol (just joking) and u reely need to solder the speakers wen you can, so the wires dont keep coming off

Lol, my battery was running 3v lol! You can solder them for me, ill drop in after christmas ;) Besides you owe me big.

why do i owe u like? if u mean for the wheels, then he didnt even balance them, so about the same price as anywhere else
