Nice one, you are now on the slippery slope to skintness....
there is soooooo much you can do...
dont worry too much about what other peeps think....if your happy with your mods, do em.......
unless of course you gooooo way over thop max power stylie, then i would expect some ribbing!

 

[nickyg]

cheers folks,not planning on going all maxpower,thinking about lowering (around 40mm)some nice 18's and a twin exit backbox,maybe a subtle body kit next year and then if the cash is there start looking at some tuning options,but as you say empty wallet here i come,nick.
p.s the car looks sweet sam20v, and just noticed its on 17's may go that route myself with the lowering(less money than 18's so more fore other mods)

 

[Sam20v]

Cheers dude....

i chose the 17s as i didnt want a hard ride.....with lowering as well.........

handles really well....definately advise lowering

yes!!thats better.....

 

[nickyg]

looking at your to cars(garyc & sam20v) a 40mm lower is definatly on the list of things to do, only problem is i'm getting wed at the end of september this year so i have to hold the rains in until thats all over and done with,but i'll keep you all posted as and when things get done,nick.
p.s the cars look great by the way.

 

[nickyg]

garyc, would you mind telling me what it cost to get your springs fitted so i can work out a total rough cost to get mine done,cheers,nick.

the Tolly has soooooo much potential!!!!

yeah me too, all the best there.
and thanks for the complement on the tolly.
I saw sam's car and new i had to drop 40mm there and then.

the handling is fantastic, definatley makes you want to corner faster...

Oops nearly forgot,, the jamex springs were £59 for 4 and they were fitted by freeflow at a very good £80. or i thought it was good..

got spring from a shop on ebay, if you want the link, let me know

 

[nickyg]

thanks for the congrats peeps,and thats not nearly what i thought it would cost unless you got a super bargin, i was thinking around the £250 mark looks like i'll be getting dropped sooner than i thought,peace out,nickyg.
