Went out with some mates last night to take a few photos. I need some nice wheels, square plates and more low, i though i'd lowered it enough to look look but a senseible right height, it looks like a monster truck sat next to the other cars.

VERY VERY nice mate 8)

I just love them standard VT alloys, would look spot on with as bit more lows.

Thanks for the kind comments lads :top: There's around 65 photo's, i just picked a few out of the batch, it'd take an age posting them all lol.

i think i will go a bit lower to be honest. I set it at a useable height, but i could go lower and still perform as it does now. Need to fit camber adjusters on rear to counter the -camber as it's already quite excessive.

I'm more than literate on photoshop mate, i've used it years so i generally do mock up a quick model to get the idea of what somethings going to look like 8-)


Had my ECU socketed and chipped yesterday by Bill.

Yeah mate defintely, Not having to wait till near 6k for vtec is a lot better, also it feels a bit more responsive. Once i have all my engine / performance bits on I'll get it live mapped for a bit of a more personalized tune.


Had a little play on photoshop, i think superleggera's suit very well.

Not to keen on superleggeras, had them on my old CRX VT a few years back,
but had a set on my STi and they looked good, so not too sure really.

Got the super leggera's last night, one has a chunk missing from the lip and they've been hastily rattle canned black to hide some flakey paint. Would have prefered if they never as now i have more paint to take off. Need tyres aswell. It looks well sat on the standard iVT alloys so i'm in no rush to get the wheels done but will be getting on with it asap.

Also 98 spec cams arrived today.

How do you mean T? they look pretty good condition to me, maybe the photo? I'm not clued up on cams to be honest, but theyre doesnt seem to be any scoring or dents and all the lobes look clean.
