No idea at the moment :S, any advice? I think I'll leave it as soft as they'll go (still pretty hard!) and then stiffen them up for track events

The exterior is nearly finished now, just got a few secret mods ordered,

The car has come a long way since this photo was taken

Here is the result after those mod gods called Rich and Stu got their hands on it

Also sorted out the shiny lexus light problem I had thanks to Stu :), I'm extremely happy with it now! The car can go lower but I wanna keep it practical until track time :)

Awesome Adam, simply awesome! :D:D:D

Have u done anything else major to it since I last saw it apart from lowering, decals and the lexus lights thingy.

And, like Matt asks, is that the lexus lights tinted or the original ones tinted? If the latter, who got your lexus ones?

Don't think I'm going down the tints route, not just yet anyway, if I get some I imagine they'll be lightly smoked ones. Don't want it to be too black. Unless someone photoshops it and convinces me otherwise ;)

Nothing major done to it really, just most of the suspension lol. I know what you mean Stevo, sitting in the passenger seat while Rich slid it slightly around a rounabout felt awesome.

Thanks for all the compliments everyone, I really do owe Rich & Stu quite a few drinks! (or some other currency they'll accept)

This is the perfect example of how/why subtle mods work best. :thumbleft:
Nothing much done to the body, except of course the colour, but it looks stunning.
Nice work mate. :wink:

Mark, I'm gonna keep on lowering it, it is pretty low but the photos hide the true wheel arch gap cos it's dark and my cars black and shadows bla bla, I love that car too - it's at the perfect height :)

Are you kidding Geetee :lol:, loads has been done to the body, just lots of very subtle mods that all work in JDM black harmony ;) - I know what you meant though :)

Murray, I'm not really sure what you mean by Jap Can but I have a feeling a proper Type R Mazdaspeed Exhuast may be on it's way soon... Decided not to go for tints though, i like the way the clear windows show the curves of the car and it would be TOO black if there is such a thing.

Thank you for all the nice comments people, luckily no bad ones yet - and keep the suggestions coming too it really helps, gives me ideas :)

She certainly looks fine - but depending on if/how she settles, I think she needs dropping about another 25mm :thumbleft:

Absolutely stunning mate, easily one of my favourite cars on the site!! The only thing i'm not keen on is the tinted back lights which are not to my taste at all.

BUT..... i think that if you were to replace the tinted back lights with an untouched black lexus cluster then it could possibly become my favourite BA of all time! (even taking preference over Mr Hardestys car which i'd currently give my right testicle for) Image

Oh man, it's funny you should say that, I just swapped some black Lexus style ones for these! You're the only one that doesn't like them so far. First criticism too :D

This is what it had before, http://www.club323f.com/club323f/forum/ ... age_id=578

It just doesn't look right all shiny and chromy on a black car :). Looks way better on Maisey!

It's nothing personal, i've just never been a fan of tinted rear lights.

I like the picture of those lexus clusters, i can see what you mean about the chrome surrounds on them though ;)
