Mcd16 Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 Thanks mate, it's looking abit "cheap" at the moment I think which is annoying I really needs to go low at least!I forgot to mention, this is one of the later x regs, 2001 baby!

vtec2011 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Good bit of work going on so far. I quite like the twin exit exhaust, bit different to the single 3" or 4" exits Yes, slam it to the floor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcd16 Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 Oh right you learn something every day! Can't say I've seen a y... Yet Thanks I really like it. I've never been a massive fan of twin exit but the quite frankly pathetic pee shooter had to go... Though looking brand new it got chopped and axel pipe cutom fitted.. All about custom Anyway, dechromed the lovely chrome headlights with black.. I went matt black as I thought it would look weird gloss. Gave her the first polish and pants aqua wax today, feels rough as a tramps beard so polish and wax constantly at the no!And my favourite picture so far!I want to talk about lows.. I want lows obviously, but ive got a baby, what setup would be best? Springs? Spring and shocks? Cheap coilovers? I did think 40mm springs and mgzs shocks but are they any good or too stiff? I want to lower it before any major change minus decat as that's coming soon. I'll be getting stainless steel centre Piece as mines rotted around rear hanger and blowing more than Kate moss.. Cheeky one you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhoath83 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Mgzs 180 shocks give less body roll n slightly lower over standard. either that or keep searching for secondhand coilover kits on fleabay. Or u can go the whole hog n fit meister r coilovers as they are the best for our car apparently as loads on here have some on n rate em highly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems cheapest and most econimal money wise on new parts. Fleabay sells them £80 for 40mm drop. I just don't wanna stiff setup. Also heard the amber goes POSITIVE with mgzs is this True? Really great help already on here guys! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Yeh. Misters rock by all accounts.I run an mgzs180 set up with 10mm lowering forks on the front.Handled lovley round castle coombe earlier this year.Don't forget the man has a D series, not sure if it makes any difference? Really like the twin pipe, looks nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
