Ek3 as I dreamed-lot pics

[lutherking92]

I bought it last summer, it was completely stock. I bought some stuff I could afford, and this summer I'm also going to save some money for further upgrades.
What I bought yet:
-25% hp shark tint on front, 20 on back, 5 on rear windshield
-set of borbet t painted bronze
-set of hankook ventus rs-2
-pair of recaro (style ) seats
-custom exhaust (just the manifold is stock yet)
-HID 6000k
What I'm planning:
-coilovers ideal for track (and street) use
-EBC turbogroove discs and yellowstuff pads(if I'll have the money I will change size to a bigger)
-hidden headlight washer(since the cops took my papers for the HID and the passenger and driver side tints, and had to take it to an inspection. Those are still off my car)
And now the pictures:
Stock

Quite good, wear is a bit annoying, but traction is a dream. It takes me a while to get to know the tyres, but slowly I'm starting to feel where are the limits. As far as I see, they like the agressive driving and turning much more than a smooth and slow turn in, cause in such way they scratch onto the asphalt, and pull the car into the corner. If you do it smoothly, they still provide far better traction than any other tyres I driven, and even if it comes to understeer or oversteer you can easily control it.

This is the first year anniversary with my car. And I can't drive it on the hill She's in a bodyshop, getting rid of the rust and scratches.

I mentioned that the police took my papers, and i had to take it to an inspection in order to use it again. Now i received a paper from the local police, i don't know how is it called in english, but it says, I have to pay 14k HUF, it's about 47 pounds. As I'm working beside school, I earn about 2 pounds/hour, and this is about normal or a bit lower than normal. When you have to spare for half a year to buy a set of koni yellow with springs, i don't think that you would be happy to pay this. Now the reason I'm writing this. Not for complaining, since i was the one who broke the law. BUT. In the resolve(or whatever is it they sent me) they mentioned a car owned by my grandma(who is only the one who pays the insurance) and topping this, they wrote a wrong license plate. (missed a number) I think i got luck this time So to sum up, the are trying to fine me for using hids and tints on a car that doesn't even exists(i checked), AND owned by my grandma. I never met this car, not to say i never did anything like aftermarket hids or so. Sorry if I bored you, but I had to share this with someone.
(if I made some mistakes in grammar, it's my bad, sorry)

Sounds like you might get off on a technicality then matey

Police here are really tough on tints because there are some folk on the UK roads with silly-dark windows.

Hmm, finally some good news after a while. Got this a few weeks ago:

Yes, this picture is shitty, but I didn't have a chance to take a better shot. Soon it will be installed, and I'll post a pic of the car then.
Note: Those are uprated ek4 shocks, hard as koni yellows adjusted to the mild/hard. Hope this setup will last until I can get a set of yellows. Things are looking good btw, so I think a couple of more upgrades are coming soon.

Nice car and pics you've there mate, will look even better when its lowered

 

[Ally138]

Lookin good man! Cool HDR photos

 

[lutherking92]

Well actually the shocks are too stiff. Rebound is a bit soft/slow, too. On streets with excellent asphalt it is just a dream. I took a two lane roundabout with 65-70 kph (around at 01:00 no worries). But when I hit shitty roads, it becames too harsh. :/ maybe konis coming earlier

 

[lutherking92]

Not sure if you've read what was on with the suspension, but anyway the dust boots and bump stops were causing some headache. Right now it is ready, and so much better than I expected.
Some more and better shots will be posted soon
