Surprisingly, the driveway hasn't been a problem. I just make sure to take it nice and slow. Some places are a bit scary, so I'm taking it easy. I've noticed some dips in the road can make it make a slight sound in the front, but I'm not sure if its the stuts compressing or slight scrapeage on the lip. *edit* - yes it was the lip, it has some new scrapeage on the bottom.

I've started playing around with the damper adjustment... making it firmer and firmer. It handles really well, everytime I drive it I get excited. Got a wheel alignment today and on the way home I came head to head with an EK4. We both wound it out, was awesome. I can take corners with so much speed now, it's given me new confidence.

It also gets more looks now, due to the tough stance. I'm lovin' it.

So Timmy, what about this meet and fast and furious you were talking about last time I saw u?

On second thought, sounds good.

Yeah i think it was tonight but not many cars were going so i decided not to go.

[Mikecivic78]

yea, it was lip scrapeage, I just checked it. I firmed the struts up to 50%, hopefully it should stop it from dipping and scraping.

What's next... jeez, I haven't thought about that. I'm just gonna save some cash up in the bank for now and think about that later.

Thanks man.

The wheels are 16s.

17s are for riceboys IMO, but each to his own.

I'm not a big fan of my wheels, but I don't wanna fork out for new ones. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

You gonna upgrade to that RR Chris?

[Gio]

Maybe its the profile of the tire that makes them look bigger. Yeah 17s are homo lol.

Hahaha if I was rolling in cash i'd buy it get someone to film me rallying in it and then post it on OH and see how long it takes for me to get assassinated.

[Mikecivic78]

found out what was scraping... it was the blood loose splash guard, phyew! I did manage to scrape a tiny bit a little tonight on a dip in the road in Red Hill. Just gotta be careful and learn which places are no go zones.


here's some more spam for today. [IMG][/IMG]

In answer to your previous question Timmy, my next mod is smoked tail lights. I reckon it'll look good on a silver car. I've just ordered the tint.
