First thing first what i planned to do: new suspension

induction kit with cold air feed
stainless steel exhaust plus decat
bucket seat,dished steering wheel,lost unwanted wait.
Got my self some raceland coilovers(really did nt now what to thing of these but pretty good,hard as f#ck tho)
Found the beam's torsion bars were seized in so had to lower by notchs,ended up being abit lower that what i wanted(40mm all round)now was about 50mm,but soon to be rebuild as i stands after the lowering
Before :
After :
New disc's and pad god know it needed them
Painted calipers up
Before:
After:
Then where Pugfest 11,was awsome(now prepareing for 12) found this picture,ended up doin 7 runs!!
Viper induction fitted
cleaner manifold fitted
My pride The air feed,best bit so far 8-),also done the badge black and tow eye red

Just FYI... if you have an accident with those harnesses like that, they will snap your spine in 2.
Stay safe, you really need a harness bar or a cage.

Look at the angle they are bolted to the floor!! If you have an accident they will force your body straight down and snap your spine...

Meh, I would suggest unless you're really tall, the amount you'd get pushed down would be negligble, and in any case if your momentum is forwards you'd move easily without getting 'damaged' too much...?
