seen a mk2 FRS with ripspeed mudflaps on it, shameful as it is that such s**t product is allowed to taint a legendary car to be, it made sence that it had RS written on it

Re: Nick's ST
As you may have known a roof tile fell off the house and smacked my spoiler and rear window (while I was working in the boot!!). Finally got round to getting it sorted, got a mobile bodywork mate round, who sanded and resprayed the area, absolutely spotless now, can't tell where the chip was (well, apart from the fact it used to be lined up with the scuff on the rear window (visible in second pic)
Oh, and these turned up today, ready for birthday mechanics on Friday

Re: Nick's ST
I've already recommended a plugin to Adrian to stop it, however if you're using a monitor that the cave-men grew out of then it does cut off
My photos fit fine on anything 1280x1024 upwards

I don't think using a roof tile is the best way to clean your car Burman.

Re: Nick's ST
Looks spot on for height Nick. Have you thought about going down the rear axle spacer route? That would make it look perfect

Re: Nick's ST
They do look sexy when their wound down a little.
Thats the same springs I have on mine. IMO the ride quality is still ok, not harsh at all.
Anymore plans? Looking great though as it is.
