Bourkey Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 If your thinking of coilys don't bother. You will have no spine left on Manchester's crap roads . For some reason your car does look higher now. Must be the colour of the wheels standing out more.As for the wheels i reckon you should have painted the inside of the wheels as well. Would make them look a thousand times better bud :harhar:.Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bourkey Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Nah trust me they would look much better with the entire wheel white . Do it...do it now.Yeah that is a good combo. Changing the shocks makes such an improvement on the handling. The problem with the standard shocks is they aren't designed for lowering springs whereas sports shocks are :harhar:. Im loving my combo at the minute anyway so i would highly recommend it. Dub Se7en has the Koni shocks as well and you have seen how low his is.Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Markoos Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 i dno ill see how i feel when i next do the wheels again, myt do them again in a few months, dno hahahaYeah deffinately going to be koni shocks and springs, want it sitting nice and low on 16's woop!

Some kind of special plastic polish maybe?Thanks in advance mate Meguiars PlastX does a good job JAG, if you have access to a rotary/orbital/DA polisher you can get even better results.I have a DA and would quite happily do it for you at Medstone but I wouldn't have anywhere to plug it in.(Sorry for going off-topic!)

Markoos Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 can't got wrong with JAM mani mate tip, re-fit the original manifold heatshield, it'll make a good difference to underbonnet temps. if you don't have one, get another from toyota, it's worth it kool man thanks for the advise! u know the part number by any chance? and also how do i get it as shiney as yours? lolcheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
