My build thread. (Black Ek1 Hatch)

Hey guys,

I havn't posted here for ages so i thought i would.

Since my last post i have not done much to my car at all.

I have put the new sussy in so now it doesn't look so much like a monster truck, at the moment i'm waiting for new tires as the ones i have now are pretty low profile, )195/45/r15) so i'm looking at 195/55/15 or 205/50/15 to fill the gap between the fender and tire.

The car is low enough at the moment (to the ground) for everyday driving.

Oh lol, still waiting to get my lip painted ha.

Anyway here is a pic of it atm.

Sorry about the quality, i took it on my handycam.

EDIT - Oh yeah eibach pro kit and KYB shocks.

Thanks man, just need to fix up and respray the front bumper then paint that lip lol

[hywindz]

lol damn hurry and get those lips on
will make that thing go zinnnng!

[Gio]

Yeah struggling to find the spare 150 bucks or so to get it painted cause centrelink is dicking around getting back to me about my youth allowance application, such bad service.

Front bumper, lip and fog covers sprayed, i seen them today but i have to pic up in the morning they are still a bit tacky.

2 new wheel studs put in to replace the ****ed up ones. Cost - $75.00 as it took a fair while.

Front mudflaps now fitted.

Also i would advise not to use alloy nuts and stick to metal nuts as the alloy nuts have begun sticking to my studs, new nuts have been ordered and will be here next week.

Will post pics tomorrow of new bumper etc.

Atm im just going to a clean look since im poor and cant change the engine.

Also in the process of stoping my car from rev hunting...

LOL I'm already broke too before rudd money arrives.

[Gio]

I dont even get that man lol.

But i have my mum, she is my rudd bonus...everytime every time

I love my mum.
