as the car has being on axel stands for weeks decided to do a few things before the wheels came

put lowering springs on, unfortunatly havnt pics of the springs - Kilen

Refurbed the horns




Painted two brackets




Painted the rocker cover







Refurbed brakes







Removed rear wiper



Dash rings



New wheels - 18' Boss Redlines








Petrol cap is away at the body shop getting painted the same colour as the wheels. also got some vented wings, and should have piu rear and front bumpers and le sideskirts to go on

just not many coupe's so wanted to personalise mine abit and have few plans, not to worry nothing daft, just want to give it a race look, if you know what i mean,

stE was in such a hurry etc never thought to look at the tread frown

Lol, I did this the other day and was musing with a friend- if the tyres are running the wrong way, do the grooves which should disperse the water bring it to the middle instead? And if so, is it possible to get the car riding on a ft high wall of water drawn in by the tread? 'Cos that would be cool....

I suppose in theory if you reverse the tread then yes, it would bring the water to the centre....not sure it would get to a foot deep though!. Be cool if it did, would certainly make things 'interesting' smile

Nice car and I like the wheels but I would check out the tyre tread, wouldn't want you to have an accident.

And the text speak thing will get you lynched on here if you're not careful.
