Good, God! That is nice!
How low is it sitting, and how to you find it at that height?
Thanks very much How low is it sitting, and how to you find it at that height?
It's about 35-40mm lower than standard. It's not rediculous, I'm not going for the low look, the ride was just really a side effect of the suspension set-up and geo etc. but I think it looks a good height.
It's fine though really, I scrape the chassis brace on the rediculous large speed bumps, but nothing major. Exhaust, splitter, sideskirts etc. have plenty of clearance for every day driving about, just gotta go slowly and be careful.
The handling seems fantastic though, the wishbones sit about level.
It's nice to see people enjoy the car who don't normally like the look of them!

The engine bay must be hot, it is glowing red!
... Aren't you tempted to at least paint the bits you can reach? Otherwise, looks well though if it is the same car I've seen on Nutz or the OC, I prefered the steelies they were so cool!
Nah that's someone else, and his car is sprayed a matt RAF PRU Blue!... Aren't you tempted to at least paint the bits you can reach? Otherwise, looks well though if it is the same car I've seen on Nutz or the OC, I prefered the steelies they were so cool!
The inside of the boot's been done, door shuts have been done, inside the filler cap, absolutely everything besides the engine bay. I'm not really bothered though because you only see the red inside the engine bay and it kinda makes it stand out more anyway. Most of the prep work was done before it went into the bodyshop and removing everything in the engine bay for it to look even remotely good would have bumped the cost up a silly amount or taken far too long!
If anything, I'll do the inside of the engine bay black but it'll probably just stay red
