[Rich-k]

Mine where unbranded matey but its like i say it could have been the brand as i bought them second hand, thats it mate bo harm in trying!

[MrSweden]

Did a quick photoshop lowering on the car, and also repaint it..





White rims


Want the car this low, then it looks god with a nice fitment with the wheels. But I dont want to ride.. To bumpy on the shitty raods here, but.. What you gonna do, right?

[EP70-PT]

Paint it white mate, I couldn't paint my car a different colour if I didn't do it properly.. Engine bay, interior.

Besides, white looks great, do it panda! Ahaha

Yeah I know about the engine bay, but if I keep some white details on the car, ant get some white decals, it would look just fine.

Also thinking about to vinyl one wheel with stickerbomb vinyl, just to make more fun and to disturb people ;) But thats a later question. Need to buy new front brakes first

[MrSweden]

So, like this is my vision of the car right now. But painted bumpers too

[EP70-PT]

Nice one XD

Did some wheel testing yeasterday, only on the right side of the car, just to see if i needed some spacers or not, but they fits good. The car stands in a uneven ground and my winter tires are still on, on the left side, soo the car looks even higher at this point. But we have decided that we want to try to rebuild some Volkswagen polo 6N coilovers to fit most cuz I want to lower the car more than the lowerings springs lower the car. Measured I need lower the car about 8cm to make it look good with the wheels.. (Hope you understand what writed with my bad english) Pictures below

i have seen more rubber on elastic bands than them tyres, look wrong.

I like the spots but not the alloys, you have got the rally look going on there but them alloys let it down mate, with them alloys on you have got a euro look and rally car.

[EP70-PT]

Should be higher with some 14's, thick tires and rally mudflaps, gotta adapt it to the country

Concerning the tyres, I like it. Love stretched tires. On my 5 earlier cars I have stretch. On the last one I had 18x10,5 wheels with 215/40 tyres.

Link to my swedish page where you can se the most of the cars. Alot are missing, but what to do..

Mudflaps is going on, but next winter red ones, have them home alredy And then my 13" steel's I have on the car now, but gonna repaint them all black

[MrSweden]

Finally no more snow for now. Summer is next

Big picture update now!

Coilovers are home, red wheel nuts home, painted one wheel for test, painted the Corolla manifold black but not mounted yet. Need to order gaskets for the manifold later this month. Gonna mount a hood scoop on the left side of the hood for the open filter.. No words need to say, pics are comming up now

Gonna use this paint for the wheels a few month, maybe I will repaint them blue later in summer.
Hood scoop and gaskets for the manifold orders later this month..

[MrSweden]

Not much to update, have broken a rib soo I can't move so much. But.
I have ordered some things and I think they are home next week.

New gaskets for the Corolla manifold. C pillar brace bar. And new brakes to the front.
The Corolla manifold Im gonna mount next week when I got the gaskets. Also the brace bar, gonna paint the bar the same colors as the wheels. And the braks I will mount at the same time as the coilovers.

I also gonna mount a rear jap exhaust and a airintake on the hood for the open air filter, so it got direct cold air.

But the car is bumpy as hell, but I'm used to it, hehe. Just have to take it easy on bad roads

[MrSweden]

Did some hight adjust at hhe front today, and now it works just fine
Have about 3cm to the grond from the exhaust - lowest point on the car.
Its not that stiff as it was before, little soft but not to much
