Car needed some alloys.. im not a fan of big wheels so i wanted something 15" so i came accross this rare set on ebay they are 15" Modia KS-O5 (4x100/4x114.3 fitment) I had them refurbed in Nissan GTR grey..Calipers and rear drums were also painted black.. Clear side repeaters also installed..

After the alloys were added the car was looking like a monster truck! wanted to get rid of that arch gap so i got a set of coilovers from a member on civiclife.

I then went a specalist tracking place my front/rear camber and toe was completly messed up i didnt know any thing about camber at this point i was advised an adjustable camber kit for front and rear to sort any future issues with tyre wear etc.. Below is the print out of the tracking out of place..

I then invested into a D2 camber kit front and rear had them fitted .. Went back to the tracking place and had them adjusted accordingly

This was the result.. As you can see there is a big difference from before / after camber and toe got adjusted correctly.. However i was still -1 degree out on the front which caused minor inner tyre wear still..

After having my MOT passed there was an advisory of exhaust leak .. Now i had an excuse to get an exhaust system :P also my center mid pipe was scraping on speed bumps .. So i went ahead with a full custom exhaust system with lifetime warrenty

My next upgrade was the sound system the following items were ordered; Pioneer DEH-X9500BT, FLI active sub 10" 250RMS, 3 way Fli front door speakers 16.5cm 70RMS each, Vauxhall Astra front door speaker adaptors, 3 way Fli 13cm rear speakers 60RMS each, Fli FU360 360 watt 2 channel amp to power 3 way Infinity's on rear parcel shelf which are 100RMS each.

Was not happy with the wiring in the boot everything was going all over the place whist driving.. So i spent a bit more time on trying to hide the additional amp and do a wire tuck.. Best location was mounting it on the rear of the sub box.. Anyway this was the result when i was finished  :wink:

Iv recently raised the car as i was getting tyre issues and chasis damage.. I got the tracking done recently and its all setup perfect now i get a very minor inner tyre wear which is 0.5 degree .. Guess i can live with that lol  8-)
