dlifts ride..

[dlift]

Sup dudes!

Been on here for over a year and was too lazy to introduce myself or post up my ride.. so here we go.

I live in the western suburbs of nsw and drive a 2003 Sportivo.

Bought it January last year after selling my 2000 Golf 2.0L Sport.

Got it for 17.6k and was bone stock and in mint condition with 30,000kms on the clock(Now 50kkms =/).

My current car and my old golf..

And the mods began..

King lows front, superlows rear(as suggested by SB), Whiteline rear sway bar, Phillips DV bulbs,

Corolla door sills, JDM Taillight mod, debadged tailgate, SolarTint 20% all round, eyelids, colour coded mudflaps+eyelids.

Slotted rotors, GreenStuff pads and gold painted calipers.

Red center console mod.

Sub, mono, 4chan, 6" splits - all JL Audio along with Alpine deck installed.

Injen CAI installed.

New shoes wrapped in Potenza G3s.

2.5" Catbak w/ twin tip by Liverpool Exhaust.

And weathersheilds put on.

Then last but not least.. Got my wheels powercoated charcoal grey

at Preston Powdercoats(Great work and they are soo quick..strongly recommend them)

and installed the grille I bought off Leroy for a bargain =)

Cheers

looking really good, i like the colour of the wheels, looks like they have a blue Tinge to it.

Any future mods expected?

Very Nice Improvement From Stock! :) Blue FTW! :D

Ah, good... the grille made it to you intact then! B)

Bargain it was, they stung me 10 bucks for postage!!!

Good to see you putting it to use though, more than it was doing in my garage...

Thanks guys =) for the positive feedback.

Everything I did to my car was all influenced by this forum so

I'm glad to hear that you guys like what I've done..

As for future mods.. not too sure.

Maybe just some KYB Excel G's or even Koni reds/yellows to replace the oem shocks when they go and an Exedy HD clutch+fly wheel.

Other stuff like strut braces, shortshifter+weighted gear knob, coilovers, power fc, I'll consider if they pop-up in the forum for a good price.

But yeh, I might be looking to buy something turbo(MPS 3/6, 09 WRX, XR5, Golf GTI, Evo 8/9, GTR),

prefably something all-paw or tail happy in the next few months so might hold back on everything.

lol yeh i guess.. powdercoating cost me $150 for all four wheels.

I probably could have got them done for $120 elsewhere but these guys were very quick and had great customer service.
