cheers

haha yes, a novel sounds about right ;) haha thanks for that mate really will come in handy :) just got to get the bloody engine now haha
 
Looking good mate! Loving the lows!

Steelies I'd say white or silver with a black or (same as the body) red band around the outside but just my opinion...

We'll have to arrange something resembling a meet sometime... somewhere round Cardiff/Newport area perhaps... Just finding a time/location thats good for everyone?...

Any chances of some pics the Mini... on a side note... Wanted to do a Mini restofor soooo long!
 
pica of the mini as promised for odd_ball :)

how i had her:

Was hoping you would say that! haha :p buying the stuff for the matiz set up tommorow morning! What springs did you use? and how many coils cut etc? :p just curious because I would be well happy with my micra decked like that! haha fair enough man :p
 
haha well i just used matiz front legs with micra top mounts, with standered matiz front springs with lower perch droped down, and rears atm at cut matiz rears as they are e coils shorter but i dont like then going to cut standard ones this week they seat better :)
 
Matiz legs just Matiz shocks? then matiz standard springs on them? (still learning about this stuff) haha :p

I was planning on going Alto rears for the front then just chopped micra springs and corsa b shocks on the back! Hopefully get some nice lows, apparently the alto springs drop the front a bit lower than the matiz springs do so I figured I'de go for them! haha
