Not updated this for a little while. Got a few changes happened over the past few weeks all in aid of getting the car ready for the shows and meets over the summer.

First off, I decided my Buddyclub exhaust was just too loud so an opportunity came along for a very good condition Blitz-Nur Spec R system and jumped straight in.

Old Buddyclub at the top and New Blitz-Nur underneath, you can see the difference in quality there!

Next up was some shiny new coilovers. After reading around I decided to go with some HSD's from Driftworks, fantastic quality and ride comfort over the D2's i had.

And the new drop:

As you can see from that I have a hilarious amount of camber on the back wheels so I bought myself some rear adjustable camber arms and fitted those.

Next up is a full wheel alignment next week ready for my new wheels to arrive and fit those at the end of next week. Then it'll just be a ruddy good clean and she'll be ready for Japfest!

Quite possibly the most ridiculous exhaust I have ever heard!

So the new wheels are finally on! Some of you have probably seen either at Japfest or via Facebook, but here they are...

A quick test fit before the tyres went on.

[Image: 062_zps86d19044.jpg]

Then once the tyres were all fitted I managed to get them all on and the car cleaned the night before Japfest. Didn't get chance to adjust ride height at this point so not sitting low enough here.

[Image: 074_zps23bc9554.jpg]

A few shots on the way and back from Japfest.

[Image: 105_zpsdb22bb98.jpg]

[Image: 107_zpsb70d0a49.jpg]

[Image: 109_zps81723457.jpg]

Managed to repaint my callipers metallic purple and got some purple locking valve caps too Wink

[Image: null_zps9c68da3e.jpg]

And finally, how she's sitting today.

[Image: thisone_zps75056451.jpg]

She's going for a full laser alignment this week so once that's all done I can tweak the ride height a little more and she'll be spot on!

Very nice sir... Actually looks really bad-@$$ and from the 5th shot down (of the rear) looks a bit stanced as well, ever so slightly...

I like the metallic purple calipers, as i'm sure our resident witch will tooBig Grin
but all in all a very nice job.
