Was thinking maybe about 1" not sure, gotta see how it is with heavy cornering.

Nice Mex! What is the 1.8 like?

Know much about your carbon fibre hardtop? Is it a lightyear?

Second person to ask me that, I have no clue, is there a way to find out? Does he mark 'em somehow?

To be honest I can't comment on how the 1.8 is, I think I drove one 1.6 that was so run into the ground it was a pile of sh*t, and made me want a 1.8 more

But yer I love it. Thanks for the compliment mate.

Is the window pop riveted in? I know that is one thing I have noticed on one of his.

If it is fitted with custom brackets, then that might be another sign.

Yer pop riveted on, with Nitto electrical tape over the top

You may have one of his then. I would give my left nut for one... :mrgreen:

Don't get me wrong I love the thing to death, but Id rather be topless. If weather permits. And its so frustrating when you put it on and its raining and then it fines up.

I have a white na8, and are looking for some bronze wheels, so these could be an option.

Do you have any idea what they weight?

Sorry man I ment to reply to this last night then it slipped my mind.

They according to their site 14.6 lbs each

Am happy to yank them off and weigh 'em with a 195/50/15 KU31 if you'd like.

Also they are sadly only available in Silver or Hyper Black (don't be fooled by the black part that's the colour I have), but they're cheap enough that you could get the painted easy enough.

Wow, it has been a while.

Fixed my guard roller, and rolled the front properly, fronts now tuck. Then got lazy and went to sleep, instead of doing the rears, so now when you sit in the car it feels like you’re going to slide out of your seat because it’s on a slight angle, will fix that tonight. Bit disappointed I had to mess with the spring perches as the coilovers didn't wind down low enough.

Too many things I want/need to do. But the next things on the list are Sway bars, when Whiteline releases the new front model, roll bar and a seat (that is one, mine and two side mount so I can actually sit in my car with a top on and a helmet).

Really contemplating painting the wheels Takata Green, but I'm really not sure, I already have to wash them once a week because of the Yellow Stuff's, might go satin black, out of laziness.

Anyway, tonight I shall achieve an acceptable ride height and hopefully take pictures!
