Now it's the weekend and time to hope it doesn't rain so I can take her out for a drive :)


It could be a bit lower, but I need to be able to drive it still lol.

There is more info and a build thread over here for anyone interested: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11073


Hoping to get 1000kms on the clock, so I can run it in, and then BOOST it :D

Mark

Looks good

jealous...that'll take me 5 years, if my wife allows lol

Nice, what's the size of the tires ??

Love everything but the mirror tint!

Promo car, has to stand out :)

so sexy. i love white/gold. how's the ride on those coilovers?

We in the USA envy your extra options that we don't get here in the USA. :D

Whats the offset on those rims? Any rubbing issues in the back? You're a baller shot caller mang.

Very nice car and pics. Love the wheels with the color of the car.

No rubbing anywhere!! I was completely amazed!!

Even my M5 had issues when I was hunting for rims.. The porsche scrubs like a bitch, and neither of those are running 9.5in on the front!!!!!!!!

do the clear side markers only turn on when you use your blinkers?

on the usdm model, the side markers only turn on when you have your headlights on. they do not function as turn signal lights.

Oh you got the BC coilovers! I'm waitin' on my set right now... How it ride ?

congratulations!!! a bit jealous : D i wish mine didnt take so long to arrive : P . You say 1000 km they say 1000 miles here , lol im starting to think the whole breaking in procedure is bullshit
