Very nice looking car mate. The rim's look spot on too, especialy with them being staggered. They look like lenso's but im on my phone so cant see properly, are they?
Awesome pal

That looks lovely, Dirty; though I'm unsure of the lowered suspension. In my defense, however, I am old and have old bones.

Beautifully presented car. Anymore pics?

If we decide to do a COTM (or any other comp) in future that would be something that could go in to the sack for voting.

Cheers chaps, nice to hear some good things about it after the time i spent getting him back on the road! il add some nicer pics after ive given it a clean and proper polish up. i only painted the sides a week ago.
The wheels are 7.5j lenso's on the front 195/45/16 the rears are 9j 215/40/16
The ride is hard but not unforgiving, it seems to handle pretty well......maybe not in the wet ;)
No idea on the actual amount its been dropped, i got it where i wanted it, in actual fact the rear sits very slighty higher than the front on a proper side on view.
Thanks again!

I do like the fact it appears to be a very tidy looking Tec1 sport, however the wheels and ride height ruin it, and it now looks a bit "useless" with knackered rear bushes.
Just my personal opinion of course, but I do appreciate the work that's probably gone into bringing upto the standard you wanted it at.

no worries dude, I built it how I wanted it and i like it exactly how it is. it is a tidy sport tho, certainly not 'Mint' by any means, most bushes have been replaced to be honest, it drives straight as an arrow and isnt as bumpy as you'd expect.
The wheels and ride height can always be put back to standard should i wish to, i have all the Bits!
Just need to fix the rev counter lol
