New Body Kit

[Obsessive]

The latest modification now done, here are some photos :)

Very sharp. I'm not a big fan of most body mods I've seen, but yours has a good balance.

Which exhaust system is that, and how is the sound compared to stock? A new exhaust is likely to be my next upgrade.

Oh Dear.
Not my cup of tea. But hey its your car!!

[old'uns]

not for me either, but it does at least make bigger wheels a little more acceptable looks wise.

Not everyone's taste :eek: Oh well! I'm happy with the look :)

Thanks Steve, the exhaust is a custom made one. Details here: http://www.u-ukhbc.co.uk/vbb/showthread.php?p=19754#post19754

I must admit that I jealous of you being in Japan as there are some gorgeous ones available on Yahoo Actions. The international freight was the put off which you at least don't have to pay.

Looks good, but I think it needs a rear lip to make it look more even.

Yeah, I did notice one that had titanium tips on Japhoo recently. Price put me off though, so maybe this is the time of my life when I expand my nihongo vocabulary and get to know some local muffler shops.

Just curious, are there any design rules I should be suggesting, like pipe lengths and diameters, type of main silencer, etc., or is it just something they will mash up to fit?

Can't say that I'm much of an expert on the subject. I simply found some photos of what I liked and took them to an exhaust specialist that had come recommended by two of my customers. I explained what I wanted and left the car with him for the day.

Any link to photos?

I'm also intrigued by the Mugen (Steve M posted http://www.u-ukhbc.co.uk/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=121&d=1047766800) because of the long pipes, which must do something for sound and/or low-end pull.
