[MELB] Introduction - DC2 VtiR

[jezza10]

I promised myself i'd like to keep the car as clean and mod-less as possible but to the contrary the modbug was soon on me.

All started with the car being lowered on some cheap nasty super long king springs and dead shocks.
Wanted to stiffer feel and was told coilovers would do the trick... stumbled on a set of HSD HR coilovers and thats where it all started...



Then came a set of random buys on a student budget in 2007

USDM Amber Indicators
C-pillar
6000k HID's


Facelift rear bumper
S2K style antenna
Mugen Twinloop axleback

hey love the look of your teg i was just wonder are you able to install coilovers any type into your stock shocks and how hard is it?

installing coilovers replace the whole spring/shock combo.
you can install aftermarket springs onto oem shocks, if thats what your asking..

btw OP, nice DC2!

As stated, I was fortunate enough to have a photoshoot with vyets.
his work is amazing, cant thank him enough for the pics.

The car has come along way since stock. its been a three and a half year project, with many enjoying and suffering days/weeks/months making it what it is now. It's burnt a whole in my wallet but that's the mod-bug for you.

I would like to thank my patient girlfriend melanie for putting up with me and her some-what support

Thank the Melbourne boys -who helped me along the way, special props to:
Duy for his ongoing support, knowledge and DIY's, vyets and chrisjlim for their amazing photos. To longers, 'FML', jonnieboy, the east side guys and you FYS homo's (jokes) just to name a few...theres too many to name but you know who you are!
