Looking good Jonoe, looks heaps better

Jonoe here

My fake rims:

that shit right there is the PERFECT compromise between flush and no cop trouble

[Rekin]

If i want to fit a new bootlid onto the car (which will be sprayed) should i look for a poor condition black one? ie. if I supply a red one and ask the painter to spray black he would then have to prep/spray the underside?

Very hard to find a black bootlid, I do have a red one but not sure if worth painting. No doubt covering the red paint on the underside would be a pain...

Any thoughts?

[Rekin]

amidoinitright?

Need more offset on the front (cant find a pair of 9's for sale...) and a bit more low on the rear with some camber...

I'm not sure if ham is being serious or not. kinda hard to tell in text, but thanks anyways

Whole car is legal height, cat is just on 100mm. Fronts are poking out a little bit, i'll ask the dudes to camber it in a tiny bit when getting the alignment done. Only thing police can really defect me for is tint. (and being too stiff?)

I'm quite happy with the result, glad I didn't go +0 (current +20)

Pat - I'd just get the red one painted black if you've already got it - plasti dip your rims

dead serious man... it's totally practical (well what i would call practical) looks tuff and wont attract cops unless they are SUPER bored.

little more poke on the rears could be nice but i'll wait for a front/rear shot to judge

Will grab a front and rear tomorrow. Looks a lot better irl as every other car does.

Glad people think it looks good. Wasn't really sure with the gun metal centres, as I haven't seen it before on a silver civic.

Me = Happy

And I made it up alvins driveway. that's a plus.

factory spoiler yes/no?

[blah_blah]

Yay?

scirocco R is same price (thereabouts) and FWD. while it looks baller from the front and side the ass is epic fail.

golf R is 4wd - similar system to the GTR but it is front wheel biased. so when you are putting around the city or a hwy it's fwd to save fuel but when you pin it, it can throw up to 100% to the rears.

also i wont be buying new.

should get you to come past where I had my car tuned, get some rides in golf r's, modded gti's etc and see how they go

a lot of the guys tend to head towards the gti's because they are more nimble being lighter and get cools pops/bangs over the r's for some reason

Probably, try it! You got even less overhang than me. Only thing i'd worry about is your exhaust.

Interesting you say that Nick, cause there was a magazine shoot out a while ago, where they got tuning workshops to modify their choice of car (under a certain cost, like 60k) and the same drivers to test them all around a track. The GTIs kicked ass once modified and were actually quicker around that track than the modified R32, from memory.

Drove my mates cousins gti with the dsg box, f**king wow is all I have to say

Yeah I was surprised to hear it, but it does make sense

I'd say the R's would be really useful on a full hills run to make use of the 4wd

the older mk5's are still the v6 na so they get blitzed by the gti's unless you drop the twin turbo kits on them which are like $10k :S

O das right
