Sweet update Andy! Next time at a meet I'll intro myself!

Thanks Ryan! Looking forward to seeing you and your s2000 again.

Very nice update Andy. The team at SYP (side yard performance) have been a part of this cars development since day one. It really makes me proud to see how far this car has come in such a short period of time!

We aren't that experienced but we are always willing to have a go at the expense of your car

I'm sure this car will rival the other silver DC5R some silly Phillip guy used to own

SYP \m/. Would definitely rep a sticker! After all.. This is our company car.

Damn those CE28's look gooooood! Well done!

Thanks Paul!

Haha, as Hau mentioned, they're 17x9 +22. They were on JDMST couple months ago, you were keen on them too. So fortunate and glad that I have them though! Next time you see me at uni don't be afraid to say hi, always keen for automotive chat.

Àndy the car looks great. Most of all how does the car feel to drive?

Thanks Norm. Feels awesome to drive, much more fun now because the car feels a lot more stable and safer compared to my OEM suspension and cheap nankang tyres, haha.



Thanks Fahad.

The money shot

Yoyo!

Been a while, but here's few little updates on the car.

Couple of weeks ago, a package arrived at my house



It turned out to be the V-lip that I ordered off eBay :P.

So as per usual, the car went into the workshop at SYP and mission v-lip was under way! Unfortunately, due to the packaging, the lip was bent in all sorts of forms so we had to heat it back to shape slowly.







The wonders of heat huh?! After the lip was in its original form, we jacked up the car and put it on some stands and began to line it up. Shakeel the boss used his great knowledge (also had a vlip on his dc5r once upon a time when it was still prefacelift) and skills to ensure it was perfect! Ofcourse it wasn't a one man job, we needed Danny's and Fahad's strong vision and eye-sight to advise us to make sure the lip was even on both sides.







All done! We celebrated by treating ourselves to a snack-pack of the gods via Tommy's Kebab. Mmmmmm....



Going home that night I scraped badly going into my garage so I decided it was time to raise the car a little bit so it just clears my garage. The team suggested that I'd postpone raising my car until after the annual BBQ so I did. I also picked up my McGard's wheel nuts from Nathan at the BBQ and threw them on a few days after whilst getting the car raised.









That's about it for now, big thanks to team SYP Shakeel, Danny and Fahad for installing the v-lip and also Nathan for selling me his nuts at a discounted price. And also my mate for raising my car repeatedly as I trialed and error going into my garage haha.

Nice DC5. Lip looks so much better

Should mount the plate in the centre!

[deph]

Looks awesome! Especially the snack pack! :P

[wongy]

Love the updates Andy, its good to have good quality nuts securing your wheels

[knobosaurus]

Fitment on the lip is perfect. Jelly.

[Shakeel]

They call me the v-lip master.

That snackpack was the best I've had since birth hahaha

[Hau]

Looks good andy. I wonder who taught you how to install the vlip shak

[mountfranklin]

i have the same specs of ce28's aswell 17x9 +22 but i have 225/45/17 on atm, i was thinking the other day if i could go 235/40 and i was wondering if anyone done this. guess you've answered my question andy! that fitmet looks perfect compared to the 225/45 where it has abit of stretch which i feel uncomfortable with lol so i guess 235 with lower profile of 240 would have no stretch right?

[stienerv2]

Kepp it that low man, it's all good!
