So first of was new wheels as I really didn't like the ones on it. So purchased some William wheels cheap
Also I didn't like the side exit so got a rear exit,
Next was to get rid of the gt tuning bumper and fit a standard Ph2. Picked this up for a good price but did need abit of work
Came back from the body shop looking like New,
Off with the old.. on with the new...
Next was to lower the front end as sits way to heigh for my liking. So apex -50 springs was orderd and fitted..
Getting the car rolling roaded tomorrow to check the fueling and see what horses she kicking out,
Got a few more bits on order so will update soon.
