uncle silvia Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) hows this thing goin mate got the quads in or new rims on yet? Unfortunately not yet!! :( My supplier for the lights is actually going from the UK to the far east at the end of the month and will be picking up the missing brackets himself!! Ive also got him on the lookout for some other interesting bits I'm after while hes out there :P As for the rims......... I'm still looking into the suspension and am currently doing some research into air ride, so I can slam the car for the shows but still be able to drive the car daily!! The rims are not going on until its slammed as I need to get the ride height right and the arches rolled as it will look silly!! I'm working on it all!! :cool: I have just aquired this from work for the price of £17GBP though :P This should be fitted soon and will get rid of the little pea-shooter :yes: Edited October 9, 2008 by uncle silvia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its loads smaller than the one in my Sig below \/ \/ \/ and most of it would be tucked under the rear panel anyway................. and for £17GBP it keeps costs down too!! :P Your the only person from 8 forums that doesnt like the idea!! Cheers for you opinion though!! :yes: Edited October 10, 2008 by uncle silvia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for you opinion though!! :P Sorry dude, I'm not a fan of cannons either, for looks or sound. I do however, love your car and am pleased to see its getting loved up like it should. I just have a small sports muffler, and its quite quiet. Not pretty though it is period correct for the car which is I think the major gripe with a modern Canon style muffler. All the best!

Well I'm gonna put it on for now as my standard exhaust is a little rusty and needs replacing! If I end up not liking it Ill change it at a later date but new custom exhausts over here are bloody expencive (£300+) so £17 + some pipework will do me fine for now!! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle silvia Posted December 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 UPDATE Yes and this time its a mix of good and bad!!! Well I parked my car outside my mates house over night and this is what I found in the morning Someone had hit my bumper AGAIN on the same corner that got hit last time last year!! Its bent the bumper and the bracket, ripped my plastic end cap in half and dented the front panel under the headlights, all of which need replacing or repairing this time!! Unfortunately no note was left and it was a hit and run!! Hopefully i should be able to get the bumper no probs as my supplier owes me a new one as this one went rusty after only a few weeks and is faulty! The rest ive got to buy myself!!! However, on a better note I have got myself a new set of winter rims!! These are Proper JDM yO TyTe etc etc Watanabe light rims running Dunlop Cut slicks (although street legal they are crap in the wet so are gonna be changed). Ive got a soft spot for these as I has them on my old CRX too, although these are wider with a bit of a dish!! The best bit is they cost me nothing as i swapped them with a local guy with an AE86 as he liked my wheels with the polished lip!! Job Done!! Heres some pics.............. The wheels are 14x7or7.5 with my old ones being 15x6 so they fill the arches out nicely!! As you can see Ive also Added the chrome strips on the rear lights as per JDM models too!! I'm an attention (to detail) whore LOL. Watch this space for my summer wheels coming soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleRedSpirit Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Looks awesome. I like the chiaroscuro lighting effect hes used. Your car is inspiring. I'm sharpening a machete to handle the guy who hit you as we speak... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seabiscuit Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Damn that's a nice car! Can't wait till you get the quads in, get it lowered and put them new rims on! Cannons :) are try-hard stuff. REAL exhausts are the go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johno Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 (edited) It's coming along very nicely. F***ing pricks who smashed into you, damm that sucks! I don't mind the look of the cannon muffler on your car. But look pox as when people put them on shit box ford lasers or Bariana's and saying their car is race spec or fully sick.

uncle silvia Posted December 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Cheers for the comments people!!! :) I know the exhaust is love it or hate it but it will do for now with the price I paid for it!! Its actually smaller than the on in my Sig so not so bad (sig is not my car - new sig coming :lmao: ) I think there is an International man (or woman) hunt for the person that hit me!!!! lol Anyway heres another cool pic.....................
