dusted the cobwebs off my camera and got a few pictures of it today in the sun!

Thats the plan! keeping the fronts tucked then trimming and rolling the rear arch lips and adding 25mm spacers hopefully this month. its crazy how low the et has to be even on wide wheels to make them sit flush on the back of a 2gs!

teddy bear drift charm haha! no its not there now, my friends have a habit of putting things over the tow bar release hook haha

gave it a quick go over with some cutting compound this morning, paintwork is still awful but a vast improvement from before!

honestly the ride is still fantastic! I've always loved large Japanese vip style cars, there just something about them, most people my age want a fiesta st or astra vxr but to me those cars are so generic and boring! smooth roads? absolutely not! i live in cumbria haha!

Totally agree! I already had the steering wheel from a previous car, I'm now on the look out for a genuine nardi wood wheel as I think it would suit it more! My insurance is £66 a month tpft at the age of 22 with 3 years no claims, all mods are declared It still has 3 cat's in the exhaust system so it should be fine! I hope 🙄 Royoftherovers, thankyou! the ride isn't awful surprisingly! Don't get me wrong you have to watch out for big pot holes and speed bumps can be risky but on a nice a road or motorway, you wouldn't even know it was lowered. Farqui, I try my best! I'm going to recover the wine holder in leather at some point!

Not sure if im posting in the correct section, but here goes! Last November i finally bit the bullet and done something i'd been thinking about for the past year, i sold my big spec fabia vrs and bought a gs300! I've always wanted to do a vip style build but i couldn't bring myself to part with the fabia. I picked my car up local, its a 2 owner car with 140k and lexus history up to 110k. The idea was the get a cheaper gs now and build it to how i want then in a years time get a nice clean one then swap all the bits over! this is how i picked it up, fairly untidy exterior, but interior and engine were top notch I then started looking at suspension set ups, i decided i was going with the BC racing coilovers and adam ivell from 6two1 sorted me a set out for a fantastic price then i bought some wheels, 19x10 et35, 235 35 19 tyres wheels and coilovers fitted i then got both bottom ball joints changed, gave it a good serviced and drove it round for a month or so as it was. i then got a cat back exhaust made, with no silencers or centre resonator. i then got a after market steering wheel, and a magic drift front lip imported from usa Tinted fog lights, hella horns and 12x6 plates fitted adjustable rear tow links from a sc300 modded to fit a 2gs. and notches cut in the turrets for the front top control arms I then made a custom vip wine holder for the rear, made some pillows and got junction produce head rest cushions for the front! With the notches done and adjustable toe links it means i can go lower, and thats exactly what i did. this weekend it had 4 wheel hunter wheel alignment and dropped the suspension 20mm all around, this is how it currently stands! Hope this was an interesting read for someone, i understand it wont be to everyone's taste but any thoughts and opinions would be appreciated. i will keep this thread up to date when i do more things!
