Ello fellas... My names Scott and im 19 years old from NJ. (originally England) I drive a 2011 Black Mica Hatchback and decided to make a build thread to show everyone what my cars been through and whats next in the near future!
Brand-spankin new:
First mod was a Corksport SRI but i dont have any pictures of it that i can find so take my word for it lol
Next mod was an Eibach Pro-kit:
Got a good deal on some rx-8 wheels shortly after:
blurry picture lol
painted the wheels a dupli-color gun metal and plastidipped my badges:
Test fitting some plasti-dipped kosei k3's, 18x8.5 et30.:
This was the ugly color underneath hours of peeling off the dip:
(not quite sure what i was thinking, someone shouldve slapped me)
installed my bc racing coilovers and boy did i rub... and look like an idiot haha
Sold those wheels and lowered my car a little more on the stockies... low was becoming an addiction!
Picked up yet another set of rx8's and decided to do something a little different this time....
Got them powdercoated Bronze!! & Vht nightshaded my ugly tailights.
added a hd lip
I was gonna add some spacers and try and make the rx8's flush but decided that wasnt the route i wanted to go and i wanted something a little more wider.....
such as..... EVOx wheels! 18x8.5 et38 (lower offset and smaller tires than the kosei's so im no longer mexiflush!)
& added a ms3 axle back.
Started my interior. bubble shift knob.
wanted moar low, so i took out the rear perches!
Picked up a m-style lip from ebay!
Corksports led kit, yellow lamin x and hid's were added at some point too lol.
didnt like the old plaid or shift knob so i changed it up.
& bought a mountain dew.
Went out with my friend and his Jazzblue GTI.
Painted and made an evil M!
Most recent pictures! Winter mode 2012.
Took off the evo wheels so that i can get smaller tires and get them powdercoated...
Bought myself a roofrack and thule wind fairing, sold the second hand blown bc coilovers and picked myself up a set of bad race lands (for the mean time)
I honestly dont think theyre much different from bc's at all.. racelands go way lower and the only downfall is not having adjustable front camber plates and dampening settings.
oh, and i cracked my lip
bought a jbr heavy shift knob and stage 2 short shift plate & bushings.
And thats where im with it now! stay tuned for more exciting things in the future!!
