    ..KYB shocks/struts all round
    ..2 1/2 inch cat back custom zorst with straight through lukey muffler and oval stainless steel tip
    ..Whiteline Strut brace
    ..Advantek 17" Rims (Identical to the ANZ Venom 2's)
    ..K & N panel filter
    ..Clear DEPO tail lights/Now Tinted :P
    ..Now without that ugly door strip
    ..Polished Plenum

    Very ncie looking car mate.

    Are the pics shown before or after it was lowered? Because I can't really notice that it's been lowered.

    Other than that it's very tidy looking and awesome that it's a manual. The rims are great too.

    its a sweet car but i reckon you need to lower it more and get a hard top tray cover

    yeh i was going to lower it more when i got the shocks but i cant afford the amount of tyres that id go through, even wid a camber kit.

    also had a look at a hard top cover and atm it's way out of my budget, but they look sweet but.

    cheers

    Nice ride mate, good luck in the future with her

    Don't worry about the k's to much, aslong as you don't thrash her or have a heavy foot

    nice get dual ovals, one on each side would make it look nice, and its low enough, but not as low as she can go does it sound alright with just the 2.5" cat-back?? Good luck with her only 65800, thats good
