Great stuff mate

like the wheels that might be something i have a go at! in the pic is it with or without the springs fitted.

Want to get an idea how much to lower by and what its going to look like!

[chaycore]

black wheels really suit the silver colour! looks like thats before the springs were fitted?

Can't really tell by the pic but the tyre look bit chunky maybe some smaller profile?

[johnmaher]

there standard wheels and tyre size, i think they look ok!! suit the car,

suspension is dropped yet, thats next weekend!

Go for some decent springs, Get the tte springs(eibachs) or get the H&R Springs for a more aggressive stance.

A Strut bar if the cars a pre facelift.

Induction kit if you can push to it. Most of us have k&n typhoons but there are loads of other induction kits available.

Finnaly a decent set of tyres is a must ;)

That will cover the basics to have more fun from the vehicle without spending far to much.

i got the sandpaper, wirewool, and primer, bloss black paint and laqure from Halfords, just took my time and put plenty of laqure on!!

[theleaf]

cool will see what i can sort out! My big prob is which springs to get have been looking at apex with a 40mm drop. Any thoughts on that?

My advice is to look on eBay and find some wheels from a more expensive car with the same fitment and lower on some good springs. It's likely you'd have to get new tyres but overall you should save a packet. I got minted 16" T-Sport wheels for my E11 and they only cost me £140 including delivery off eBay.
