  2. oh yes, its me. finally making a build thread from my deck! this is going to take a while seeing as iv owned the car now for 8 months! but here goes, few pics of when i picked it up and though the stages of work iv had done, and to the most recent jobs iv got done and or waiting to fit. 

     

    Morning after i picked it up big silly 17s stupid stickers. good base but not my cuppa.

    IMG_20140112_115108_zps7ab6ab62.jpg

     

    thing drove like a sack of what not so got the tracking etc looked at. it was all out. no surprise.

    2014_0%20_%2013_zpsxsty5wgj.jpg

     

    i put it back on the standard wheels. then noticed it needed to be a bit lower so i wound down the crap ebay coilovers.

    019201413428_zps5db7d3a0.jpg

     

    few lil things i did next. took the rear wiper off and bunged the hole, took the rear end apart and gave it a good jet wash i remember it looked like it had lived off road!

  4. hi all. =) my deck came without any mats =( tad annoying now must admit. 

     

    in doing some searching on ebay etc i cant seem to find any that match the shape of the ones iv googled and seen the shape of. well.... there is a set of " genuine " mc aerodeck mats on ebay but over £50. F that just for mats. 

     

    anybody have any links to some they've got or know anywhere i can get some =) 

     

    cheers 

     

    Matty.

  5. So in conclusion, ek coilys will fit but itll sit lower on rear then front.

    Meh.

    Im after going silly low like stupid low. So maybe thats not a bad thing

  6. Hi all. Just wondering, I picked up a aerodeck at the weekend, and 1st things 1st it needs coilovers! By looking at it am I rite in saying anything made for the ek will fit? All looks the same only reason I ask is I had a ek for 5 years on d2s and could not fault them so ideally id like the same set up on the deck. :)

    Cheers. Matty.
