Surely that's just riding round on the bump stops.

yes, as in "my other cars a..." :D nah not on the bump stops, i did try the -60 springs i had and i had rim tuck. looks awesome, but it was a bit too low. hopefully the JOM kit i get will bring it up a fraction.

not caught the sump on anything, after my last car i have a habit of avioding all roads with any kind of speed bump

random update. after smashing the iS lip up twice and now the paint has reacted badly i gave up and bought a VR6 splitter. also the M40 headgasket went pop and i had some nice cream cheese its now been fitted with an M20B25 but keeping the 4.29 ratio diff...not fun lol but awesome for pootleing around town.

Image

not bad seeing as it was fitted with a grinder, drill, self tappers and 1 ziptie haha

Matt86 it would be off a vr6 golf i think a guy from stanceworks has done it looks the piece! I read this mod on RevLimited Forum i think a long while ago and there is alot of trimming and cutting and other "ings" involved but everyone's got there own way i guess. :?:

ebay special lol just classed as a vr6 splitter. needed a bit of work to make it fit properly though. cut about 2 inches off the width and had to grind the small lip on the bottom of the valance off.
