Small Update

Fri 29 Jun 2012 11:11:29 PM
So i bought myself a few birthday presents, simply because i could lol, and one of which happens to be in the pic below

:)
It shall be a boat no longer!
Not looking forward to how much more rough the rear will feel though. The car is pretty bad as it is.

But i am very keen to see how it handles afterwards, because it handles like a go-kart already... It's just a bit "sloppy" through chicane-type turns

I've also started polishing the lips of the bbs rims that had been painted silver by a previous owner.
I painted the centers bright orange, for max JDM respect of course ;)
and now i've finally started cleaning them up.

Here's the BEFORE

Up close you can see i still have a fair bit to go.
Those little bits of paint left around the valves is testing my patience.

Looks great.

What springs/coilovers are you using?

Thank you guys :)

OZChris:
Coilovers? I wish lol. I'm running, shall we say, "custom" springs. Previous owners doing, not mine. Will run coilovers when i can afford it.

RTK:
That's actually my plan for the weekend haha. I will get a start on that this arvo and post some pics later :)

Ozchris: Daewoo Matiz front struts and springs with Barina rear shocks work - some modding needed though


Azman89: awesome :)
