its not only for looks lol, it handles awsome (better than it did when it was 30mm)...its stiff as #### now! lol....

my middle cat and centre box both scrap the floor on bumps and speed bump!
 
looks nice dan.

where are the 70mm drop springs from

in the second pic exhaust looks likeits hanging low? careful on those speed bumps!!

what day are u goin to jae by the way
 
some lad in chesterfield sold me the springs.

one of my hangers has snapped (the ''U'' shape one that goes around the cat) the exhaust catches over speed bumps, and dips on fast roads.

going on friday, going down with shaun. presumme your coming at the same time and were all meeting at shauns? lol
 
if you come over one day in the week if you've got a day off, i'll have a look at that exhaust for you cos i'm on nights.
 
no offence to anyone who has said the car is to far gone/ un-repairable...i have had it checked over by a nissan mechanic and other mechanics. they all say its fine and the main damage is cosmetic...

so far i have brought:
a steering rack with track rods
wish bone
hub
pair of standard shocks and springs, closer inspection says one of my kyb shocks is bent and creased.
passanger window glass
headlight
wing

need a new electric window switch
new passanger seat at some stage.
fix dents
door, wing and a bonnet (in the right courlor)

and shes as good as new... will hopefully be on the road agian at the weekend!
 
Never said it was unrepairable dan, just that it would be uneconomical to repair (eg cost of respraying half the car plus that lot) but good on you for cracking on :)
 
as above car is back on the road...doesnt look pretty. but at least i can get about.

i get paid on the 7th so hopefully will be going to pick up the panels for it on the 8th...

should be looking normal agian iam hoping this month. need tyres and brake discs also.

dan
 
right abit of an update:

car now has a door and wing in the right courlor.

alloys are back on with new tyres

new discs and pads are on.

car looks normal bar the rear 1/4 damage now :)

annd ive done some mods to the front end...

pics to follow (tomorrow maybe after i've washed it...i was going to wait until next month when i get my wheels painted white....
 
got it the wing and door in the right courlor from via duct scrappy in chesterfield.

got a qoute on the rear 1/4 to be fixed today...£340 job lot.
 
i think so...altough iam gonna buy a bonnet in the right courlor as a spare...gonna fit some bonnet pins to this black bonnet next month. :)
 
lol i know its gay...but i havent done it trying to make a carbon replica..i just like matt black bonnets. plus i can fit pins to it as this bonnet has been done over in the accident :p
