installed my rear gold tow hook..the back of the car looks so hot combined with the gold lcas..if i can restore the colour of beaks bar then its pure s3x!:P

looks awesome dude nice work! sweet ass tyres, make u wanna cry when on the way home from a service today at Hanny's you find a 3 inch steel nail in one

your driveway has heaps of room for moar low hehe

oh damn!..hope it can be patched up!...not heaps of room...just a bit

Phrash, dont use metal polish on your beaks bar, it would take off the gold paint on the outside. Not really sure what you can use, maybe try a little bit of maguirs cut and polish first before hitting metal/bronze polish. And btw the car looks awesomeness.

thanks for the advice..will give it a try!

lOOKS REAL GOOD PRASH, BUT i personally dont like all the work emotion stickers, its too much imo.


I say photoshoot in my basement!

I wanna see u, steve, iversonruls, William, visoni down in my basement!

i thought the stickers looks good with the nuts and caliper all in blue..looks too plain with out it..might remove the innner work stickers..MAYBE..took so much to plan it out and get it right!

photoshoot in ur basement?!?!?:S lol

skunk2 lca


my beaks bar is so dirty and faded tried cleaning and polishing and this is the best i could get..any suggestions?..will try with some metal/brass polish soon

[crashprash]

oh and just for stevan :P

<5mm clearance for rear traling arm (pic taken of passenger side)


muffler tip is so close to the road!


i guess there is some clearance :P


for all the ppl who gonna bash me for not lowering my car..i give in!!..will lower my car max 0.5 -1 inch in the coming months..simply because the tires have increased my height a bit, i can get a bit more camber at the back and also my driver side rear is a bit lower than passenger side rear for some reason and i have more traling arm clearance as a result of it.

[crashprash]

blame exams and horrible syd weather for the car being so dirty

[crashprash]

love the colour combo with decals, calipers and nuts

[crashprash]

sits just right:






didnt get the anlge with this so u can c the bottom lip

fixed wheels/tires!!

went today to jax tires in haberfield. really recommend them. was with the car the whole time and tried as best as possible to get my desired settings. In the end got -2.5 at front and -1.4 at back. I do have the report from the alignment but I cant really make sense of it (it doesnt have the final front settings as well). adjusting the front was a pain..had to take off strutbar and intake to get to the strut tops to adjust the camber. had to do the whole process twice coz for some reason couldnt get the desired setting the first time.

No scrubbing/rubbing issues at all. (Dont think I need to roll guards).. Rear trailing arm clearance is minimal (<5mm!)..so another reason y i cant lower it :P...the car does look funny tho with the fat tires on and at stock height..altho the height mite have increased a bit with these tires.

pics up in the coming days.

gahh! i told you to gat at least 1.5 on the rear because of that clearance haha silly guy! you muct post pics of thus unclimbable driveway you have just so we can all see why you wont lower your car and stop it lookign as awesome as it should in for pics buddy!
