it has the works on this car. Climatronic, Leather, widened arches, wheels and other stuff. its off ebay so there maybe some stuff i'm unaware of. only done 90k.

has fair share of problems, at mo, the arches are cracked coz its too low, rear bumper has had a knock, crack the paint n stuff and needs a new crank case breather filter thingy.

Having sorted the scrubbing issue out now the car looks like this.

p.s. not sure if you can spot it but the rear end is higher.

i've installed HID kit (posted some where else) and a carbon filter from malaysia at only £15.

Not low enough... SLAM HER TO THE GROUND!! Very Happy

Just joking... looking good. Although, I would drop her a lil bit more. But that's just me.

Just polish those Borbets Smile

i don't mind lowering it a bit coz my civic looked ok lowered on 30mm springs.

winter wheels are on and the feckin OE jack is useless. dropped on me doin last wheel. good job i have wheel on. only damage was on plastic skirt (just a scratch). the jack is now broken tho, the bar with the thread has been bench about 40 degrees.

couldn't get the trolley jack under front jacking point, thats why i had to use crap one. in need of a new and safe one as a spare now.
