not 100% sure what they are. Came with the car, but it's about a 2-3 inch drop from stock height. It'll probably be about a month before I get my coilovers so I'll keep you posted =)

Looking good mate! Loving the orange wheels!

Do you go to MQ as well? Wow, quite a few of us TOCAU members go to MQ.. LOL

[NIE70]

Thanks KEN33F.

I actually go to UTS lol....my gf's car broke down yesterday, so i drove her to uni.

(btw...your car park is really really confusing )

[Kenneth.]

Ahh I see. Yeah it is quite confusing, especially the C1/2/3 car parks. Once I spent 20 minutes trying to find my car because they all look the same inside.. LOL.

i'd say that last shot has been over-photoshoped =P

Haven't done much to my car lately, but finally bought a new mod.

I got a Varex Oval muffler.

Varex Oval Muffler

Going to have it installed hopefully tomorrow afternoon, if not it'll have to be next Thursday.

Finally got my exhaust put on. Had it done at Liverpool exhausts.

Turns out that my current pipe was damaged and needed replacing so i ended up getting a 2.5 inch cat back and had the varex put on.

EDIT: forgot to add link for photo S'tivo getting exhaust installed

For all the skeptics who think that the varex muffler doesn't tone the noise down to stock, let me tell you it does. Very happy with it and when opened it has a good exhaust note too.

Ordered a few more mods:

-Weather Shields (Driver and passenger)

-Blue LED Door sill scuff plates

-Red LED replacements for center console

-LED Daytime running lights (making a relay so that it will turn on when i press my unlock button on my remote control and turn off when i lock the car via remote. I will also will have a manual override switch inside the car)

Hey Kenshin X,

Once i get it i'll post up some photos

[NIE70]

Made the relays needed for the LED Daytime running lights.

Also just received the LED Door Sills
