Here is my little weapon at the moment, 12 months and 26,000km without a single fault (apart from power steering failure at start up, computer glitch)




Still riding standard as of the moment, just have night shaded the tail lights (slowly fading), and K&N Pod Filter with CAI ducting at the moment, hope to source more 90 degree piping and run it closer to the fog light shroud.

Been back of my mind, getting rid of my Civic Race Car and "Focusing" (HAHAHA!) on this now......

That link to the Thread that Bucky has for us is awesome and there's some great photos in them.

I went over to eurofordclub.com and the gallery is EMPTY!!! WTF. We'll have to do something about that as I remember that there should be heaps of photos from the N.S.W. and Victorian Eurofordclub members.

Thanks, yeah I did. At least now with the LV they come painted. I know the car is a little high but I don't want to scrape up driveways.

She is at the smash repairs today getting the bumper resprayed, hope they do a good job.

New tyres are booked in for next week as well, getting Marangoni Vanto 205/50 R17s.

I couldn't tell you exactly. About a week after I got the springs on. The rear springs settled and dropped about an inch. I'm guessing the rear gaurds were about 10mm off the tyres. Since then I've had it raised twice. First time was just after I got the rear bar and I couldn't get up my driveway. Was raised abour 20mm. The second time was just recenlty after rotating the wheels and finding that the less tread had reduced the diameter of the wheel and as such brining the rear onto the ground again. So I had it raised another 10mm. I think it is almost stock height now :S.

Looking to buy a house at the moment with a FLAT driveway. Then I'll lower it again. :evil3:

I don't think 18's would throw the suspension geometry out at all, provided you get rims that are narrow enough (I think 8" is the widest that you can go from memory). If you lower the suspension then this will in fact change camber settings more so in the rear due to the suspension set-up in the rear, however if you are going the expense of 18's a set of lowered springs/coil-overs then the extra money spent on a camber kit for the rear is only a little bit more.
