I would lose the mudflaps and fit a Koni kit, it would look sweet 40mm lower.

i kinda like the mud flaps. . . agree with the drop tho.  :smiley:



got three things i need to sort. no buzzer if i leave lights on, changed whole unit over but nothing so swapped it back. head unit wont come on and off with ignition and passenger wing mirror only goes up and down but not side to side. you can hear the motor working but mirror wont move side to side, is it possible something just needs to be re attached?

My 1996 never had a lights on warning buzzer, if it did then it was not working, head unit, pull it out and swap red and yellow leads over, mirror could be the clip broke that hold the glass to the motor so may need a new glass.

Yeah. . wasn't sure if the buzzer thing changed from what year your car was. . .


wires from head unit i changed over when i first popped it in and nothing. . still wont work with ignition. . .


and wing mirror i've tried to get into to see if its a quick fix or a easy swap and it just sounds like i'm gonna snap something. . how do i get into them?

looks just a little different. .  .

had a 45mm drop too. . .







had full service on her. . well more like a total overhaul. . running sweet! even the guys at the garage said how sweet the engine was but then it is only on 62k! had a look underneath while it was up on the ramps! sooo clean and tidy!

well happy with it mate! so pleased when i went to pick it up!  :smiley:


bit more of a firm ride but she is on coilovers. wasn't sure if 45mm would be enough but just right for my day to day  with no real problems. feels so much nicer to drive.


wheels next but stuck between a view options.. . . :undecided:
