    At the moment 60mm but I may be getting some 80mm springs of a member on here. So i'll see what both look and feel like and go from there.

    Right, got the suspension fitted and the Nova now looks 100% better. The black bits look better, the wheels look better, the whole car looks better!
    (Not forgetting I done the whole thing in the pissing rain... Now that's dedication...)

    I've also had a word with the painter and he's going to paint the other SR/GTE front bumper i've got without the holes and pins holding it on as I think it looks pretty sh*t. Also, the front number plate looks sh*t so when I get the other bumper painted i'll put a normal plate in the normal place. I'm also going to get him to do the rear grab handle gloss black as it looks out of place.

    From this:



    To this:



    I'll let the rest of the pictures do the talking:

    Looks much better lowered. Also needs a MK2 spoiler imo.

    Southie, Im not keen on the sqaure number plate either. That's what I was going on about.

    Cheers Iain

    Mieran, The seats I believe are out of an Impreza Series Mcrae >>(LINK)<< but then again they don't have the Mcrae lettering on them and the headrests are differant so I don't know really.

    Right no big update's. Got some clear front indicators and got them fitted. Got a new stainless steel exhaust and fitted that and changed the front number plate today.

    Also got a digidash and got that fitted but the speedo doesn't work. I think that it's the transducer that's packed up. I've had a look around and some people use the standard SPI transducer so I may try that out to see if it works.

    Oh.. I also got the PNG CLUB sticker fitted and a Bubble Berry Magic Tree air freshener.








    Still looking for a front grill though!
