Liam's New S15 Spec-R

[liamb91]

your Yashio interior bits are a really nice touch did you source these from nengun
Love the car BTW sorry to hear somebody key'd it

Get some for yours from Matt@limitless imports in the traders section!

[liamb91]

How much was the PSM Cobra all in all to get here? and how much was the shipping/tax? Seems a seriously good idea to stop me doing the ruddy turbo gaskets again!

Luckily i found one in the UK which was sent incorrectly so no taxes/shipping! email Dave at the US dealers and he'll do you a good price mate!

Ever since i fitted the Apexi N1's to the car the alignment has been arse about tit for some reason, front top mounts were maxed out in the bay (towards the block) but the wheels had massive positive camber, retarded! This ment it rubbed everywhere and felt, heres a pic of when it was like that

Modified Live by LiamB91, on Flickr

Driftworks then murdered my wallet again, as i went all out and ordered every adjustable arm i could for the car (camber/toe/caster ect) thanks to Drift Street Imports for hooking me up and fitting/aligning the car, feels so good now and lowered it another 15mm
