i have dropped it down a bit more.....
still managed to get over the pits, as well as some notoriously large speed bumps around here. so im happy with the limit of practicality.

just a tiny update....

for some reason, the boost controller wasnt hooked up right (the second pipe out of the wastegate was still intact) and yet i was still running 1 bar of boost. it was a hell of a lot of fun, but since then ive blocked off that other pipe, wired up the boost controller to an ACTIVE ignition wire... and closed it off. its now running 0.8 bar (bit under 12?)
high boost is set to 0.9.

ive just put in a beep beep vroom too

No front photo's ?

Great photography by the way, nice and clear. The hidden valley garage shot is perfect! any chance of a high resolution shot for my desktop ?

Cheers, Mark

well.. i have pics of the front. but the black lip is scratched up, the number plate is off centre... and i still have little splotches on the front from the damn swarm of bugs :(
(even though i washed it!)

thanks for the comments Mark,
if you're still interested i can send you a higher res copy

a few pics of the front anyway... i guess it isn't too bad...

looks nice! But the bottom front lip doesn't look too straight. Its begging for a front spoiler I think. :)

If you can get the clear toblerone blinkers (or even remove it altogether) would look even better!

both of you... dont tempt me [:P]

i really dont have the cash to spend $3500 on a set of GT-C's
i am looking for another set of 17"s for it though, as the 16s are a pain for tyres.
im contemplating some Apec Apaches in black....
i think the black/chrome lip will set it off pretty well.
the other option is shadow chrome/gunmetal with the chrome lip

as for the lip... yeah, if i can find just a front lip (not a full bumper) then i will consider getting that.
otherwise... it may end up being a border front [:P]

toblerones.... hmm... never considered that...
i had white globes in teh clear indicators for some reason, but ive just changed them over to the phantom orange globes

Hey Zmit,

Front shots are looking good. If your concerned about that front lip go grab some matt black paint and spray that bottom edge to clean it up a bit.

Number plate to the side is JDM goodness, ignore the haters

I'd say don't change the rims, Those volk GT-P's are getting harder to find in good condition and the black center/chrome lip is done to death and is getting old. Stick with the classic silver spokes or maybe if your looking for a change get those volks painted ?

Anyway if you could send that hidden valley shot in high res to Aceofspades_812@hotmail.com I would appreciate it a lot !

Thanks

they may be getting rare. but im due for new tyres and dont really like the way the prices are looking....
16's seem really expensive...

so im due for some 17's
(i know a lot of the drifters and they can get me some good deals)

Just take it to a body worker and get the front lip filled in with plastic and resprayed. Shouldn't cost more than a few hundred and a couple of days.
