Wheels look nice mate, definitely needs slamming now though.

How much were the nuts?

not going to get it lowerd for now, looks so good lowerd but driving isnt to nice far to bumpy lol.

fitted SPS mani today, ported the exhaust mani and ported the turbo :D hope it makes a smooth difference.

i also have hot air in the car now fitted new thermostat. noticed i had 2 hairline cracks in the wastegate but seems to be ok.

very very pleased car is not hitting fuel cut anymore and it feels alot more responsive any one hitting fuel cut highly recomend to port the wastegate.
