    I don't want to go 18, as i like the appearance of an 17" wheel with some rubber more
    Also loving the look of rota grids, such a hard decission lol!

    Loving those rims you have on yours chris! But MXR's are just 18" up right?

    those wheels wouldn't be my first choice, but if u know someone with photoshop skills, u can see that way of wheels suit your car

    i would stay with 17's too!

    Thank you sir!


    This evening i straight got to work on the car and fitted the bucket seats and the racing harness. I've left the rear Seats in the car, i actually like to not see the bare metal. Of course, while fitting the seats, the last nut broke, and i had to weld a new one in. Why has it always to be the last nut/bolt?




    After that i fitted the new Wheels onto my car. As said, plans changed wheel wise. So i bought a set of Rota Grid Drifts in 18x9.5 +20 and 18x10 +15.
    The rear sticks out a bit, but lets see how it looks after installing the coilovers and alignment. further fender pulling is no option unfortunatly. lets just hope it fits



    Tomorrow more stuff to come

    As said i didn't want to go 18", but guess what? now im on 18"
    Friend of mine had these up for sale, and i could'nt ressist as i really like the look of it.

    They're Rota Grids in 18x9.5 +20 and 18x10 +15, they came with Federal RSR 245/35 front and 255/35 rear, and they just look massive. The rear ones tend to stick out a bit too much, i hope it will get sorted once the coilovers are fitted and some basic camber alignment has be done. I've checked the forums a bit, it seems some people fitted 10" Wheels without pulling, i hope this will work out without pulling.

    Some pictures of my progress. Upcoming mods are coilovers and fitting mirrors, spats, grill and finally some windows.

    I've been busy the last weeks, and got a lot of stuff sorted

    * Installed K-Sport Coilovers
    * Installed HKS 555cc Injetors
    * Welded FMIC Piping, Installed HPX MAF
    * Installed Steering Wheel
    * Installed Tower Bars
    * Modified Side Indicator Wiring


    Compared to the Stock Supsension, those K-Sport coilovers look very cute





    I think i will go lower a bit on the front, have to check clearance tough.


    Interior getting together now.

    Small update guys, been busy this year, finally got the car street legal and mot/tüv, so i will get license plates in early march

    Car has been mapped by a good friend, and is running 285hp at wheels at 1bar.






    really happy with the car, just need to change the engine mounts from Cicuit Sports, back to Original. The vibrating noises inside the car is just ridiculous

    Also i'm planing to visit JAE this year, maybe can meet up some guys there

    Thanks guys
    Cant wait for March to get license Plates

    The interior is finished aswell, now its time to eliminate those damn vibrations which seem to come from everywhere.


    Relocated the Battery, welded a small holder for it which i bolted on those three mountings which are already in the trunk.


    As i removed the antenna hole, i had to come up with an idea, so this i my lousy shot on getting FM radio
