[LSOfreak]

thanks ^

anyone can put on 13's and have a car sitting on the ground lol its so much more difficult going low on big wheels

i wouldnt go lower no, it would be far too impractical

to go lower, it would need a chassis notch as the driveshafts will hit, the arb will need to be removed, the power steering line would have to be made from hose and run downwards to completely miss the steering arms, the chassis by the top mounts would need to be cut so the steering arms wont hit, and lastly, id need smaller wheels as these 15's catch the inner and outer arches already lol
so no i wouldnt lower, its too much work - it is possible though

also may be worth mentioning, the exhaust and sideskirts wont last long at all, they take enough abuse as it is!

Love the interior

[Luke_coleman]

actually love the whole thing

[LSOfreak]

thanks
---------------

entry pics for trax - got lost so went through both gates lol





and some pics after a clean

method:
- wash with meguiars gold class shampoo
- clay with meguiars clay and quick detailer
- wash again
- polish with AG SRP
- Sealed with AG EGP
- waxxed with collinite 476
- megs trim detailer on bumper trims
- megs endurance gel on tyres
- exhaust polished with autosol

the results











-------------------

also i recently replaced the rocker cover gasket as it was leaking like hell



and replaced this pipe as i snapped it a while ago



and while it was off, thought id give the rocker cover a lick of hammerite, not the greatest job but an improvement

I think all this needs imo is the wheels refurbed with inner weights and maybe a new pipe would look amazing!

cheers, it does have inner weights lol i bet youre looking at the front driver side wheel
yeah theyre in pretty bad condition to be fair, i might just wait until the tyres wear down then get a new set as i usually do

i would get a new pipe, except i grown to like the looks and sound of the jap can and also, its melted a nice groove into the bumper so id need a new bumper if i wanted a new exhaust lol

[BIG]

Hahahaha, make sure you keep them silver if you do refurb them and lol LSO's Japcan FTW

[LSOfreak]

haha, im in a bit of a predicament at the moment actually. My brother kurbed one of my wheels kinda bad and offered to pay, but to me it just doesnt make sense to refurb vts wheels as for the price of refurbs, i mayaswell buy a new set and he isnt going to buy a new set off wheels for me lol

hi ya mate , lepsons in gillingham do refurbs , i got a quote once a couple of years back for a vts refurb was about 50 quid a wheel , not too sad if it comes out looking brand spanking new

[furiosteve1]

how much did the custom gaz springs cost you? cars soo low

[LSOfreak]

they cost £30 second hand

new , theyre like £130 i think?

[LSOfreak]

but then wouldnt it be the odd one out lol having one new shiny wheel and the rest not?

I think LSO needs to hire a lookout to scan ahead.

haha yes! so annoying when the car in front just isnt bothered by a hole in the ground and then its too late for me to see it and move out the way

i wish i had a m11ler

[dolby20]

Such a nice car but surely you must:
A: Drive incredibly steadily
B: Have the world's best paved roads
C: combination of both?

Couldn't handle those lows near me!
Kudos to yourself!

[LSOfreak]

haha no the roads round here are pretty bad. Not the worst ive seen around the country though, but there are alot of dips/pot holes/sunken drains/speedbumps

i just drive really carefully everywhere, and never fast, always a cruising speed incase i come across an unexpected bump or piece of litter lol

Takes a bit of effort everyday to be honest but like a motorcyclist gets used to constantly scanning the road, im used to it now

[dolby20]

I like the idea of you just scanning the road ahead - Terminator style haha
Yeah bet you're use to it now anyway!

[LSOfreak]

haha terminator style i like that
