Don't spoiler it, ever. Please lol!

Looks mint man, dark wheels on a heritage green e-series = win

Haha mine has the same problem with tyres rubbing on the plastic guard lining during tight turns. It's a bitch of a sound too!

RYNSXR wrote:looks good mate.. factory tail lights are also a good thing , as for the tickford spoiler you have, i wouldnt put it on thats just my thought's.. i reckon only fit it if theres holes in the bootlid.. are you selling the gauges and the chrome wheels ?

Cheers mate,
Rims are the sellers I didn't want them but gauges are for
sale. And the spoiler I'm still thinking about.
Cheers

Don't think I will as all the holes have been welded up.
so would make it harder to do anyway.

Haha I hear ya there man, I wouldn't have it any other way really. Any higher and it'd just look stupid

Very true lol.

It looks great with dark argents! Proves my point to Hus if he see's it.

Don't spoiler it, but keep the spoiler spare, you never know what you'll like in the future

Cheers braad,
I'm still tossing up which way I'll go.

Buy another boot so you can swap between when you get over either look

cheers
Daniel

love it, looks tough as with the argents. Have you rolled the gaurds to stop the rubbing?

Looks farkn mint mate, love the quad pipes!!! if you don't mind can ya chuck up some under carriage pics of how the pipes were done?

Yeh bud guards are rolled but tyres hit inner wheel
arch trims. Sounds horrible.

Yeh bud I'll try to remember when I check it over next.

Much better man. Looking great. Shame about the height not being practical. Airbag it like I'm doing to my rear ?

Cheers mate,
Nah no bags I'll just lift it a inch and it should be fine.
Cheers
Daniel

I'd be keen to see some pics of how they have done the exhaust too. I've got a left hand tip on mine too, but I have no petrol tank there. I think it will look good about an inch higher...but I reckon you should paint the rims light silver, they would stand out alot more...I love this car though. Very nice.

Cheers mate,
Yeh I'll take some pics tonight as I'm checking it over.
I'll post them up when I get a chance.
Cheers

ok heres some pics of how the exhaust has been done. as below:



its the normal way an exhaust is setup but where the tip would be on the rhs there is a join from behind it to the lhs of the bumper.
then theres a pipe from that to the tip, runs behind the fuel tank in behind the rear bumper.
doesnt look the best kob when looked at up close but sounds awesome so i dont care.
sorry if the pics are a bit crappy but thats all i could fit on my iphone screen.
Cheers
Daniel

and heres some pics in the sun for once! sorry please excuse the unclean car.







and i think its got some camber issues what do you guys reckon?
Cheers
Daniel

i cut holes in my inner gaurds to stop the rubbing works a treat.

you think the rubbing sounds bad wait till it wears a hole in it and the edge grabs the tyre, its a terrible noise

yeah thats why im going to lift it a little as i cant even get over speed humps without it bottoming out.

Nice car man, Could you try and get some better pics of how the exhaust is setup? Looks the tits with the argents tho!

thanks mate,
if i remember i will try but iphone pics arent the best.

yep it could do with a wash ! did you paint the brakes yellow or was it already like that ? are you getting personalized number plates ?

if not you could get the standard plates in black or white.. i bought a set for my cortina, they look heaps better than the white ones.. im getting personilized plates for my xr in a few weeks !

with the ride height, i reckon lift the front 20 mm and it should sit nice and no more scrubbing.. by the looks of it you have camber issues, its because its so low ! lift the front and get a camber kit fitted if you dont already have one and a wheel alignment.. then it will be happy days

But already sorted that out.
Cheers
Daniel

sorted what out ? the ride height ?

yeh lifted it last night.
scored a camber kit for free from pick a part.
just got to get shims and alignment done and all sorted.
cheers
Daniel

sorry rynsxr, didnt read it properly this morning.

yeah i have personalised plates in black and white just need to transfer them over when i can afford it.
yeah i definitely need to wash it looks a tad filthy this weekend.
and i changed the springs in this last night to superlows. so much easier to turn now and no more tailshaft rubbing on the tunnel.
lucky i decided to change the springs as the front shocks were rooted. pissing out oil and wouldnt even come back up after pushing them down.
heres some pics of how it sits now.



looks a bit high but as they say front springs need to settle after a week or so.
but i was wrapped scored the rear springs from pick a part for $50.
cheers
Daniel

no worries dude.. it looks driveable now.. all good

My sl fronts sit a little lower then that. Looks mint mate

Cheers snipez,
I think it could be the shocks as they are my mates spares.
As the ones in the car were fucked so I just chucked them in for now.
Cheers
Daniel

so refitted these on the weekend. Chrome looks so much better.

also removed fpv badge off bumper, retuned stereo and figured out how to play dvd's.
also removed stupid alloy pedals that had been cable tied on .
and swapped gear knob with a fiesta one looks pretty good just need to keep it on the stick, as it comes off.
Was also thinking about changing my interior carpet to black plushpile. What do you guys think?? thoughts?

Cheers
Daniel

Looks heaps better with the boot garnish back on

Yep chrome garnish looks good
