Hey guys bit of an hupdate! Last weekend we got Jess's car a little lower to the ground! Spent Friday night with a couple friends in my friends garage. All went well only thing noticing was I need to replace one of the front shocks in future as i've noticed it's weeping but we'll get that sorted! It feels better I wasn't sure because the TTE springs apparently are a 20mm drop so wether the 40mm springs were going to drop a further 20mm than it already was or go 40mm over the TTE I think from the looks of it it's gone 20mm lower which tbh I think suits it well and keeps it practical enough for Jess to drive comfortably overall definately pleased! Before I post pics be warned the car (aswell as mine) is in dire need for a wash haha!

It seems to have settled a touch lower since the pics but either way you get the jist I think the Enkeis will sit real well at that height! Hopefully they'll miss the arches! If not time for some arch rolly polly!

Also earlier in the week Jess spotted a Glanza boot on Ebay already in 205 black! It was also fairly local! So we drove to the middle of nowhere on a rally stage in my EF to a remote farm with a unit where a poor glanza was being broke! However we gave the bootlid a new lease of life It's in cracking nick being recently resprayed and has also been de-badged and de-locked for a smoother look! Also in preperation I ordered a 13x7 rear and 12x6 front set of number plates Today with the help of my dad we got the new bootlid into place! Also transfered the de-wiper bung so all that needs doing now is the rewire for the new reverse lights and middle brake light and get the new screen tinted which I think Jess is going to do tomorrow

(Don't worry the new plates on now too so it's not being driven around with plates from a scrapped car lol ;) Also stickers have been removed!)

Next up is a good clean! Also need to finish cleaning up the Enkeis ready to go on Also front splitter will be on the cards!

Who can see whats wrong with this picture?

Theres a Renault badge?? Bummer about the stud man! Will you just replace like for like or use it as an opportunity for longer studs??

What a car! You need to get a vid of this on the go ASAP!

Looks a lovely base car to work with, the new wheels will look awesome!

I would if mine were capable of getting £3K!

Arrrr man this is lush!!!! As soon as I got my 4G I really wanted an 3G lol! This is beautiful! Wanna EC lol??

Yer the original springs im guessing Jess will let go, once we've swapped them over ill drop you a PM bud

Last night I ordered up some 40mm lowering springs to get it down a little more tried one of the enkeis on yhe back to see how they fit

They look awesome! Arch lips might need a roll once its lowered mind! Also had to order some new nuts in order for the center covers to fit on. Afterwards we took him for a quick clean as you can see it was filthy when trying the wheel on!

Much better! Also while the rear wheels were off we painted the red "Powrrdrumz" black so they didnt stand out lol! Also fitted a fresh set of spark plugs

Absolutely stunning work mate! The Cupra splitters work so well on the NA bumpers! I'm going to get one for Jess's black SR

Mmm shiny shiny! 3 more to go!

What a cool project dude defo like what youve done with this!

More than likely, these defo arnt Rotas theyre Enkeis because theyre stamped would just be nice to know what model of Enkeis

This is brilliant! I absolutely love what you've done with the modified front bumper! Wouldn't mind taking that approach with Jess's SR rather than going full blown Glanza which I don't want to do. The turbo conversions great too! Deans a legend! Nice to know the FE can handle boost without major surgery! Love this car dude!

The amount of ranting I've heard about this topic. It is sh*t tbf! They say it's to save dead weight but in all fairness a space saver isn't much heavier than the compressor they supply!

Arrrr right, the story I got about the wheels is the guy I who I bought em from his mate of a mate had em imported and they sent them packed in the boot of a skyline lol wether thats true or not I dont know just wanna find out what model they are lol. I really want them on my EF Civic lol!

No way lol well ain't that a small world! Was he the one who imported them by any chance?

Thanks dude. Wheels are picked up and love em! I'm well jealous of em lol

They're Enkeis (Any ideas on what model they are? 15x6.5 et32 I think. I THINK they're 3pc splits but unsure! A polish up and some nice Enkei center logos and they'll be bang on

Should be collecting new wheels for the SR tonight

Yer Nitros are high maintenance, no good for drifting anyhow biggest maintenance on an electric I'd say is keeping the batteries in good condition and charging correctly

MST's are the "in" RC drift car ATM but they're not cheap to say the least. I used to own a Tamiya TT01 I drifted and it was a really cool car and not as expensive as the likes of the MsT's there are other cheaper options too such as HPI E10, Sprint 2 Maverick Strada.

Have a look on www.radshaperc.com

Here was my TT01

Hey guys as per title really, looking for a good condition manual driver side wing mirror for an NA EP91 as close to Wolverhampton as possible or posted

Hi guys! Im after some lowering springs for Jess' s SR. Its on the original TTE springs atm I was looking for something around 40mm what we got peeps??

I usually hate those corollas but those G6R's have grown on me! Shame about the Starlet but the rolla looks great!

Have you got any pics of them on the car?

The vanilla thing is a caramel wheel. Ive never used one before. Iused a kettle of hot water and peeled them off. Scrapped the grey foam away with a old creditcard then used asda's sticky stuff remover.

Id like the short piece from below your drivers door if u fancy posting it to NI

This is the method I used. If you can get your hands on a caramel wheel and have the patience to not burn your paint with it then i'd defo go with that method. the rub strips come off easy enough, the time consuming part is removing the foam/glue afterwards! Defo worthit though!
