It's got a dash mounted boost gauge abit in the way so guna move that to the vent soon it's got some rubbish steels painted white and a jap can which I also don't like but not changed yet. Also got a universal cone filter on there and I picked up a xantia manifold today along with a full fmic kit that should also be fitted this weekend wether permitted

As said, looks like a good base to start with, lose the crappy plate and the jap can, get some lows, and its pretty much there....can't help but think those wheels might look alright once they've had a clean, and the cars sat lower.

right i'll be the first to say it, you've gone a bit far on the back haven't you? . .  . . .whack it back up 40mm and it'll look great, and handle better . . .

Cyclones have always been a bit "meh" IMO....speedlines are better, or (if you're not fussed about wheel weights) Lasers.
But yeah, i echo the cries of "too low at the back", and i thought mine was bad!
