alpha's HE build up

[alpha]

well here is my "project"

so basically i bought this car exactly a year ago, it was FOB so im the first owner, i got it with 53000kms on the clock...

this is what i started with


then i came by these RSR custom made springs and shortened shocks for dirt cheap


and ended up looking like this


70mm drop from the stock

then i got some cheap 17s



a few nice shots with 17s

[alpha]

but this is where it starts:))
got some genuine 18" 3 piece lorinser rims


mounted






and thats pretty much it for now, just got some exhaust tips but nothig special, not worth a pic just yet.
and this is not the end:)
next year i got planned airbags:)
yep im gna bag this baby
but at the moment im going to concentrate on body work, get a few things fixed up etc...
i rarely drive this car these days, maybe every 2 weeks or so...im flat out busy with work so there isnt much time for cruising...

recently i installed new sounds...i got HDD touch screen pioneer 2din head unit and brand new pioneer speakers all around and a nice 600w amp to amplify it for a nice boom boom:)

oh floating nuts are all good, been out for long time and they are legit, it just makes the nut to sit off centre but keeps the wheel nice and tight without stressing out studs.
3 piece, they are custom made ones aswell, they going for dirt cheap too,

even if i get adapters (20mm) i can still fit them in the guards with minimal work eg mild pull on rears and camber:)
im actually scared talking to my wife about it lol:))im so going to get shut down haha

im getting my 25mms anyday now.. so hopefully it will make me happy..

keep na eye out for another dirt cheap set of springs for me!!!

[alpha]

decided to polish out dull hedlights today, they werent really bad but you could tell they were a little dull:)
top one is polished, bottom how it was


both done and mounted


they not cut back so they still not perfect, i will do some wet sand to them later aswell, and then buff em out again.
i just used metal polish, plastic polish, scratch removal, wax

[Matsuda9]

they are plastic lenses, right?

they are plastic lenses, right?

yep they are, im quiet keen to get second set and take them apart and shave the deflectors to make them crystal clear, sadly i cant get any headlights in new zealand

[jitb]

ive been tempted to get the headlight polish kit form the stores... i might give it a shot.

do they sell those clear aftermarket headlights in NZ?
