ah well - I guess its the compromise between looks and practicality!

You know you wanna :thumb:
check out octagonalpaul build thread mate - he has one on here and on http://rat-look.com/forum/viewtopic....t=175&start=90
He will be happy to give you any help on what he has done to get his so low - His has just passed it's MOT :d
ahhh forgot it was an xe :( and being as its supposed to just being a daily driver :roll: a custom down pipe isn't really worth itQuote:

lol No need for advice matey - I prefer how mine looks! The wheel bearings would last around 3 mins with that set up!Quote:

I love the colour as well
I think it looks great. Only thing you can really do to make it look lower is get rid of the vertical on the arches and flre out maybe? I dunno. Looks top imo.
Looks good as is mate......any lower and you may ruin it....love the colour as well! and the rear box looks ace!
Maybe Hexagonal Steve doesn't mind dragging the bottom of the car over everything. Judging by Wills build standards I'd say he's not up for that, and as he says wrong width/ET wheels that munch bearings for fun.
Awesome motor mate. :)
Cheers matey - I know its all down to personal preference, but I do plan to use every day, so need SOME practicalities!lol
That's awesome, Will. Really, really nice.
Was going to say thought you bought this to drive from wales to bristol everyday rather than the S2000 you start ****ing around with ride height even more the useability will go out the window!
I love your motor!
did this piece of ****e pass the mot?:thumb:
seen this on sunday, awsome ;)
Going too low just looks knackered IMO. It looks great as it is Will, you know that. :thumb:Quote:

Cheers Benn - I couldnt believe how well she polished up!
Fitted some new 350 lb front springs, so I could drop it a tad more, without having to worry about the downpipe! lol
thats a fine and points how that sits mate if the wheels are further out than the arches its a offence!!Quote:
