Yeah ratio's are different. Have you got a K&N panel filter installed? They are cheap and give a nice subtle change in noise. What about a rear strut brace? Obviously you can adorn the car with little JDM and other rare bits such as JDM fogs, wind deflctors, speedo ring/bezels, chrome sill covers, JDM floor mats, JDM lip, Type-S lip.

One thing that may have been overlooked is tyres, a good set of tyres makes all the difference. Clubbing Eddy rubber doesnt inspire confidence ;)

I do know what you mean about loosing the love when there is something that annoys you (my rear bumper is gouged), but a quick blast down the twisties reminds me that no other car for the money can make me smile as much :twisted:.

Got a K&N on the way actually!

Already got a Spoon rear strut brace, but I had that put on at the same time as shocks/springs, so I don't know how much it changed, but it's good for tying shopping to :roll:. I do like the JDM stuff, wanted those bronze bezels that nitin had but unfortunately didn't have the money.

I'll make a note about the flywheel, I'll wait til I replace the clutch to do that.

Currently got Toyo T1-S's with plenty of tread, but I think I've heard you rating Rainsports over on PUK.

Well, it depends what it's for really! I have around 500 that I can 'blow' as such and a bit more maybe. What do you want to try sell me nitin? ;)

Just been speaking to a guy over on Lude Behaviour, hopefully got myself an SiR front lip.

I got nothing to sell at the moment, :?

Yea front lip is a must for 5G, without the lip it looks naked and wrong. :oops:

And if you have money left over after you've bought the lip then you can get some lowering springs or second hand coilovers and lower the car for an even better aggressive look. :mrgreen:

If you want the S-Spec spoiler. There is one for sale. :D Not me but Dan from Cyprus. Very reasonable price as well. I'll contact him through Facebook if you want. :mrgreen:

Yeah after looking at mine today it still looks quite high at the front due to liplessness.

Thanks for the offer but I think I'm going down the naked boot route, plus I think the S-Spec is higher than the one I have at the moment... not my cup of tea really :?
