Gary's Silver NB8A

Postby Gazmx » Fri May 13, 2011 9:05 pm

Thought I had better get my garage started.
I have a silver NB8A (98) which I purchased in Nov 2010. It was completely stock.

It now has...
    Brown Davis rollbar
    15x7 949 Racing Wheels with Dunlop Z1s
    MX Mania Cold air intake
    XForce headers
    NPower muffler
    Whiteline adjustable swaybars
    Sparco V seat
    OMP harness

Next on the wish list is some coilovers

I really love your car Gary, very tastefully modified with nice parts and it looks great..! Sounds nice on the track and goes well too =)

I agree that coilovers wouldn't be a bad modification =P

Still waiting on Shannons to give the go ahead. Hope it's soon. I ordered a front lip so I can get it painted and fitted at the same time.

How about we swap plates instead :lol:
Cheers

The NPower muffler has a nice burble to it at idle. It was not as loud as I expected but that is not such a bad thing. It is however getting better and a bit louder as it wears in.

There's a new brand out called "startanewthread racing"

In all seriousness, go and ask in the suspension section, you'll get a better response than using someone elses thread.

Starting a thread is free, we don't charge extra for it.
