Galliano Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 man that looks low!im loving the black on black, considering it for my Paseo at the moment Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie_Jap_Speed Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 nice car mate. but one thing. the exhaust. you sure its 4" from the cat? you must be losing a lot of power if thats the casesaying that im not 100% sure if i like it, personally i think if you do have black on black u need something to seperate the 2 colours like a red outline if u know wat i mean. i just think it looks a tad odd lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the-dalester Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 lovely lookin SR u got there! Im thinkin of going black with the speedlines, silver car with black alloys looks the dogs(in my opinion lol)if u want seperate the colours abit then u cud get your lip painted around your speedlines, a white lip wud look nice!cant wait see more pics wen uve dun sum stuff 2 it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tommy_G Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 looks really nice mate, agree the black needs splittin up, i love white rims so thats what id suggest, but thats me im bias..lol also maybe see if you can untint the lights, that could work. in terms of engine upgrades, you wont get much power without serious mods (turbo conv etc) but you could get a corolla intake manifold, decent air filter. i would lower it if its not already and do the handling first (braces, etc)oh and dont forget electric superchargers and badges (each badge adds 5bhp) Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tommy_G Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 oh look at shelly stars old SR its the dogs, you could pick up some ideas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
