Maggi's Cup

[singlespeed]

Instead of dropping the rear, I'd bring the front up a bit. Getting stuck isn't fun and looking at every bump in the road wondering if its going to trash the sump or rip the exhaust off spoils a good run.

I think after fcs it's going to happen. She does look dam good this way though!

Apart from the ground clearance, your car is the opposite of mine : looks ultra clean and neat, very sober and subtle, extremely nice. Mine's all smashed up lol

Very nice of you to say Anthony, I want a car like yours! I certainly use mine, the stone chips on the front and the odd little bits certainly give that away.

Few marks to be dealt with later in the year when I get the rear arches to work.

I really want to get my hands on a rear diffuser then start elsewhere, even though I know I shouldn't :lol:

 

[yotah1]

What's wrong with your rear arches???

Stone chips... sorry mate, but your car is pristine in my eyes
I had a clean up the other on mine, bloody hell, a life on the track makes it suffer so much! I think the paint is the worst thing on my car, even though I achieved to preserve it quite well for a track toy, still looks crap compared to any normally used vehicle

 

[maggi200]

I have the arches from a facelift 133 which I've started sanding back the additional parts at the bottom to replace the parts on mine. It's possible, just a long job it seems :lol:

 

[RS133ETO]

Love your car Maggi!

 

[MovingShadow]

Very nice.

The nose of my car is pretty bad too from all the motorway use.

Clayed and waxed it yesterday, although it looks good from a distance but up close it shows the damage :?

 

[maggi200]

Mines not too bad but the few that are there do annoy me, as they're black on white it's rather noticeable.

And then the little bits I want sorted and am planning on doing so soon.

The temptation for more power is getting too much too :lol:

Ermmmmm how about that house we are buying?? That's a good enough reason!! Haha

 

[pritchp]

Looks awesome bud

Some slap head sent me these





High res now included

 

[maggi200]

Not really much of an update as I've got a few idea's I'm toying with but for now she remains as she was before. Just a quick wash this afternoon and a wipe down with Z6 followed by wolfs dressing on the tyres. Not bad for 45 min wash including setting up and packing away. Hoovering took a little longer but I stripped the boot and wiped all the metal and plastic down. Also think this is the best pic I've bothered to take of the dash :lol: and it's only a crappy phone pic

Decided the maxxis that came on the wheels, that I said I would wear before replacing, have to go. They start squeeling long before they give up grip (even under heavy breaking) which doesn't inspire confidence. Strange as I sort of almost liked them in 17"

Now on the look for something in 195/45r16 with csc3 as my reserve choice still

 

[Forza]

Wow, the drop looks so nice! Is this the max height in the back with the BC coilovers? And how the ride now you've got some miles in it?

 

[Caz-133cup]

Hahaha hooving all the muck from the bottom of my shoes I left as a present for you x

 

[rcr484]

I like the dash actually, very nice.

 

[waitey]

Your sunglasses won't last long there!

 

[maggi200]

Cheapo wayfarers after I lost my ray bans that way I actually don't tend to keep them there but that's where they ended up when I was hoovering

 

[maggi200]

That is the lowest possible on the back. I want to raise it a bit but not as much as the smallest shim allows so I may end up buying one and having it adjusted to my liking, or even seeing if bc will do this.

The ride is good, still fiddling with it. I have a creak on the back that I'm positive is the boot but the rear struts have made a few odd noises over bumps that I intend to investigate next weekend

Boot is irritating however very comfortable ride
