    BOON's S15 BN Sports wide body

    So last weekend I took a huge trip to pick up this

    Link to drifted article :

    http://www.drifted.com/damien-oconno...orts-s15/6279/






    It's an epic car,
    It's only done 46,000km

    Basically it's going to be a weekend car and for going to shows and events in.


    Plan for the moment is to

    - remove spoiler
    - re paint it
    - change seats
    - change steering wheel
    - see how much lower it can go
    - change rear lights

    Already bought some new parts for it which are on their way from Japan!

    That is going to be properly lush when you've done your list of changes.

    Wheels aren't to my taste I have to say. Mainly because too much dish and they look like a pig to clean

    Have you decided on a colour yet?

    Because they are so wide.. 12jj on the rear the offset is like -10

    You ain't gonna get non dished wheels in that size.



    Going for a colour like that one

    Yeah the wing is going, I've already got a DMAX window spoiler for it.

    Not too sure which boot lip I want yet though!

    I had a poster of that car on my wall years ago when it was featured in Modified Motors.

    It was one of the first S15s I seen in the flesh too

    Good luck with the build, I will be keeping an eye on it

    You say decent paint job... The paint is flawless it really is. It's a work of art (not to my taste at all) but none the less it's mint!

    To have that done would cost shit loads and take a long time. The pics do not do it justice at all!


    Anyways..

    Got standard side mirrors on the way!
    Window spoiler is here ready.
    50/50 DMAX lights are on their way
    And my new steering wheel is on the way!


    Now I want a boot lip nismo/dmax or similar ...
    But it's wide body so won't fit easily.

    What do people think?

    So today I got a couple of parcels from Japan!




    Also got my DMAX lights.

    Did a bit of work on the car,

    Wing mirrors are off
    Seats are out
    Rear seats are out
    Wing is mostly off!
