well i havent posted anything up for a while about my car, and i have done HEAPS this past month, so i thought i would tell you a bit about it before i post the pictures (god i'm a tease :lol: )

well, it all started when i needed new tires ...

i ended up getting a set of 5 spoke, deep dishy 18's
(Aug 20-30?)

then a week later i got some cobra monaco's which are teh BOMB!
(sep 1st)

theeen the next day i got my old cai back from sliq
(sep 2nd)

Started Making a heatshield (which hasnt gone to well)

then i painted my interior a nice blue and silver
(Started Sept 11)

Re Installed my neons
(ages ago)

Bought some gauges for the aircon vents, which will be intalled today :D

i did my calipers blue and had a go at changing my dash lights which failed unfortunately :(
(sept 16)


and i'm now working on an enclosure for some 6x9's

Were you on stock rims before? I bet the dynamics of the car are a little different now.

Are you still toying with the idea of an engine swap? I take it you are thinking about keeping your car for the long run... You just killed any remaining hope for a good resale.

None the less, I look forward to the pics and I hope you love the new mods!

Boags :D

i had some 17's on there before, at the start of it, it felt a bit more clumsy, but now that i have been driving it harder, it seems to grip better (probably because of some fresh rubber)

meh, no resales left in the nb8a's anymore :lol: yep, i plan on keeping it for a loooong time, not so sure about an engine swap in the NB (manual conversion = yes), but was toying with the idea of getting a banged up NA and dropping a 13b in it, but anywhos dreams are free arent they :P

nice car....
but if i can be honest...the interior looks way overdone...too blue and cluttered.

and definately needs to be lowered a couple inches...

just my opinion anyway.
