Well done on the feature lad!
I think you should loose the spoiler is favour of a roof spoiler and also loose the gold graphics as they look kinda tacky imo :o
Edit....Love how tidy the inside of this car is!!

17 jesus fair play :eek: :D
I'd keep that spoiler if I was you , looks well .
Where as for the graphics I don't know just something different , don't know why but they just don't seem to suit your car.
But if you like them , keep the, after all its your car !!
Aidan Hogan
20-06-10, 01:03
Is the prodrift at the back a sticker or is it cut into the car ??
Looks very well there.
The 180sx looks weird on the centre panel for some reason though :confused:
Also what kind of front lights are they ??
They dont look standard .

does anyone else have any ideas for changes they would like to see on the car or is it just absolutly perfect?lol
The breather pipe over the manifold wrap it up it will burn very quick, car looks well its yourself you should be asking about changing anything as its yours and you'll be the only one driving it!!

the pipe has been like that for a while and it seems ok cause the manifold is a good bit away from it
i know i have a few ideas in my head but im just trying to get a few ideas if you know what i mean:)

car lukin wel lad had a gud luk at it at punch:D
sound out lad:)
it was in sum state dat day dough:Plol
do nothing with the car until the end of the year she is in mint condition as far as i can see then send her off some where like smith sign writing and tell him you have x amount of money to spend on the car and go to town on the graphics. If i had a 180 i would put a kit on it like the rocket bunny car and squat her right down on the floor.

A savage car, fair play to ya bud.
Id say what every1 else said really, wheels and the gold graphics, not sure why just wouldnt be gone on them and i do like the spoiler for a road car but fuck it for track has to be big WING :)
kouki tail lights,bgw and roof spoiler,set of dishy rims more low craft square mirrors and ur on the right track but no one can say a bad word against it as its been used!!

I agree, koukis and dishys!! :D
Not a bgw fan tho, de-spoiler ftw!!
Fair play, it's looking a lot better than when i had it, hard to believe it's the same car!:eek: Some amount of work gone into this and in all the right places:D
IIRC, you could maybe go a bit lower on those super streets by taking out a couple of locking collars but if it's at the cost of handling you might be better off leaving it alone.
One thing you should definitely do is get on to Tadhg about flocking the dash and centre console, he got my s14 done and it's a class job.
Looks like you're driving it the way it should be anyway!:cool:
oh and another vote here for despoilered look.
