#1: Arron's Black XSi Project Author: arronmee1990, Location: Broughton AstleyPosted: Mon Jun 06, 2011 12:43 pm ---- So I've been on here for over a year now I think and I always love reading through peoples project threads, so I thought I'd make my own.
First things first, I'm Arron and am 21. I am currently at Coventry University studying Motorsport Engineering.
This is how I got my car last January
But I always had plans for it. I won't bore you with every single mod I did along the way, so here's what it looks like now
The main thing I wanted to do was sort out the way the car sat so it's lowered 100mm on the front (FK AK coilies all the way down) and I'm not exactly sure how much on the back
Front
Back
I did have to get a new exhaust as being this low the old one scrapped on the floor sometimes Great excuse to visit Longlife though!
The wheels are Borbet As for those who didn't already know. They are 16" 7.5J all round and with the spacers are sitting at ET5 with 195/40 Toyo T1R's.
I was at FCS this weekend just gone but didn't get chance to speak to many people as my mate was on track so I was with him most of the time. There were a lot of nice cars on our stand! Hopefully the next meet I go to I will talk to some more people and get to know the people behind the cars.
I don't have any more plans as yet as I just want to enjoy it as it is for a bit. The only things I'd like to do would be to have some arch work done so I can get wider wheels on the back and maybe some rear lights but they're fine as they are for now I think. And a new splitter but not till I can find one that's nice and not many people have!
Comments and questions welcome
(Sorry for pic whoring :P)

Nah it's not too bad too be fair, although I suppose everyone has different standards of comfort

Great looking car mate! Think I preferred the dual exhausts (as in one pipe either side)
But the rest of the car is the bee's knees! Last edited by michaelbishop on Mon Jun 06, 2011 1:31 pm; edited 1 time in total
