Default My new beast!

I thought I'd show you it, as it is!

Doesn't have rims yet, am still trying to source a decent looking set.

Didn't get a chance to get out in my back yard and show you how it smokes, YET









Hope you like!

does anyone else find their car sits slightly uneven with king springs?? the height is nice too i never knew ultra low was lower than super low, are they the lowest you can get?? your car looks pretty much exactly the same as mine except i have the EF door moulds and not the ghia rims. so i must say its a fine looking beast

Nice to see the pics at last Nick, great stance! I like the foggies and side indicators too. I didn't realise Ghias had those side mouldings.

Very nice mate, ride height is really good, and the interior looks a treat, and the V8 will last a life time, windsors are nice and strong. Good work.

That looks nice. Have you got any pics with the FRs on it?

They're beautiful cars to drive aren't they?

Have you got any plans for under the bonnet?

Absolute beauty to drive, especially since I was previously driving a pov pack (read: no electrics) lancer with rock hard suspension and no guts.

I suspect I wont have any plans for under the bonnet until I take it to the strip, heh. With what it's got now it's not too bad!

Here's what it looked like with FR18's.

I wish.

I can't afford them. I am struggling on the wheels side of things. I could easily get the 18" XR8 wheels BA, but I am not sure whether they will suit it good enough for me.

And having troubles securing a set of EL GT's, so...
