I shall need to get some new photos, took an adjuster ring out the rear and got new tyres and alignment.

Will be picking up a seibon bonnet next week most likely and it shall be on shortly thereafter.

For those interested I will be down at StanceWars Las Vegas, so feel free to say hi! I am looking for a few feature cars to shoot while in town so if you're worthy I'm interested!!!

[Whiskerz]

Ordered a Seibon OEM style Bonnet last night.

Will be picking it up direct from Seibon on Thursday on my way to Vegas for StanceWars.

Obviously photos to come after its installed. :lol:

[Whiskerz]

So as I mentioned I went out to Vegas for StanceWars...

Grabbed a few photos of my own car while i was there

Surprised I missed this photo in my original post. This one shows the difference in height in the rear since I took a ring out of the adjusters.

This weekend I actually swapped out my flex pipe for a nice new 2.5" Stainless Steel version from Central Florida Motorsports to fix my crappy blown flex. I had forgotten just how good the SVT exhaust note was stock!

Yeah sadly those only come in 17x7 et42. I wanted 18x8 so made the switch. I personally love how good the bright silver looks.

I may return to gold wheels in the future, though if that's to happen it will most likely be as the centre to a 3 piece wheel.

I daily a black LV XR5 (2008 ST in Europe/US?), and the support out there isn't that great for your earlier model. But they're a handy little car! Yours looks good

We never got that body style in the US. It was available in Europe though..,

Thanks man. I've got some stuff in the works but its gonna be a while before anything really changes on the car.

[Whiskerz]

After falling out of love with the car all summer, its slowly coming back.

In the past week I have bought new wheels (which should be here next week and are much more StanceWorks worthy) and ordered a whole bunch of maintenance parts (new LCA hardware [already have new LCA's sitting in storage waiting], timing belt stuff and water pump).

Will have more photos once new wheels arrive and I get the car set up to suit them, followed by a fresh alignment.

Love this car. Can't beat a hot hatch!
