haha your right. but i want to learn how to drive it well hehe

hmm i forgot the name of the eyelids. from a company here in aus.

i got fronts and rears. i prefer them over the c-one's.

also whiteline front atm. ill get whiteline rear sway later on as well as slim line weather shields.

i got a short shifter and bushings from trc tuning usa

and im awaiting my king springs this week. and depending on the cost of installation i might get them on this week.

and later on new wheels and tread! maybe 17s type m lenso's

EDIT: i think they are topshift eyelids!

lol as hat3it said i tihnk you mean 'topstage'. same ones that i have on my stivo

interesting, short shifter from trc tuning. how does it feel? havent heard of them before

by whiteline front you mean front strut or front sway?

yea man im trying to get them done this week.

i haven't had much time. also sucks that installing springs will void driveline and gerabox.....

myabe i should wait a while??

Which warranty did you get? I paid 2k, in hindsight it was stupid and would not recommend it to anyone who wants to mod their car.

I waited about a year before taking the plunge to mod, and havent looked back.

well this is my first manual car. so i might need that warranty for my gearbox ahha.

im not a bad driver. no bunny hops etc. just your usual getting used to revs and taking off and thats about it.

first day of driving and i was fine with hill starts etc.

a lot diff to my auto e36 hehe.

ill hold off for 6months-year. and see how i feel.

guess ill get the strut bar and springs to gather some dust then hehee

updated picks.

i tried to cut the rear bar and install but the exhaust is still in the way. even if i connect a dump tip it will be in the way.

ill borrow a dremil tool to sand it and give a curved edge + down faced tip and ill install it sometime this week.

SPRINGS arrived. i will get installed with front strut soon(and talk to the people who i got the warranty to make sure it wont void gearbox. driveline im fine with, just not mechanical)

dude i couldnt be bothered dealing with them.

so i just bought a 2nd hand kit pf princess.(should have bought brand new though)

having troubles with installation because the stock exhaust hits the kit so i have to sand it back a bit

not sure on the price. the price for rear and front were like more than 250 though.......>_<

i sprayed them and the colour had too much green specs in it so i just went matte black

ill paint calipers soon too.

oh yea man. i got it with extra bushings and cables so like OOOOOMMMMMMGGGGGGG like 320$+ for it.

and it arrived but i cant put it in because affraid of voiding warranty on transmission/gearbox etc

which was a stupid idea.haha

id love to put it in though. i suppose if something goes wrong i can just change it back. but having to change bushings back would pi$$ me off( maybe they wouldnt notice the new bushings but they would notice the s/s)
