jim_supra Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Hi guys, Have got loads of new bits on the car now! Firstly I have had the alloys refurbished (they now have a chrome shadow finish), and as you can see from the pics below look waaay better than what they were! Big thanks to Gaz @ Envy for doing this. While the wheels were being done I decided to go for a set of Tein super street coilovers from Envy. Am so glad I did as they have completely changed the handling of the car, so much better! Next is the NuR spec, which sounds amazing! although is a bit low towards the middle of the exhaust!! Cheers to Paul at Miami GT Anyway Here are the pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 The exhaust is hanging low! I bent the long hanging bar to pull it up, I've still caught it a few times. I've got some stainless sheet which I'm going to fasten around the front silencer to protect it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah is definitly low! was thinking about some stainless to put around the exhaust at least if that gets a bit worse for wear a new one can be made.

Stu_Fraser Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Looks fantastic Jim, i used to catch my Nur spec now and again and my car was still on standard suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_supra Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 cheers mate, I so love the wheels now!! The rear quarter has always been like that since i've had it, so am sure it's had a repair at some point, but it drives spot on, so am fine with it. you can only really see it from some angles.

Cheers Stu! as long as i don't go fast over speed bumps i.e crawling!! it doesn't catch, sometimes pisses other people off behind me when i slow down so much, but what the hell!!
