Hated front splitter was £19 eBay job works well though!
Adjustable sleeves are probably better than the cut sptings i was running!!

why is the splitter 'hated'?!?!?! :lol:

If you want a bit more power, you should do the Z6 swap with twin carbs :top: doing mine soon...

Can't quite figure out if that does or doesn't have a rear lip on it.
Seems to be the hard bit for me. THe rear bumper looks too high from the side view on mine. Needs a rear lip to bring the back end down some. Can't find one which works tho :x

You tried a front Civic VT lip? They go on the back of Hatchbacks with a bit of heatgun treatment.

i really like the idea of a rear lip... was considering trying to see if my front lip would fit. you know the vw vr6 lip... or the vento lip.

in the pic i havent added one that a stock bumper!!!

ok guys needing some advice looked through the chassis section and loking for the easiest way to remove the rear lower control arms. i know undoing the bolts would work... but.

if they sheer whats the best way?

i have bought some oem ones from jared and need these ones ut before wednesday so i can straight fit the new ones!

Any help advice welcome and sorry if ive missedsomething in the chassis section tried searching and looking for lca stuff nothing really with how to on removing them...

Plus gas (spray can of stuff that helps remove bolts)

Copper slip (for when you put the bolts back in. Will help them on there way and be handy if you want to remove them a few months later)
