Mate, just looked up where they are based. If they're local to you, you must be local to me! Where are you based in Brum? Not seen your car around here!

I remember seeing it on a convoy to Santa pod that you were a part of Stealth! :grin:

:stupid:
I remember seeing it then. I was stuck behind it for most of the way. :grin:
Not seen it since!

Thanks for the comments guys. Always happy to hear comments from people who know more than me :happy2:

where would you suggest I get it done? Is there anywhere reputable in Birmingham/Midlands?
Second, are you going to do anything about that headunit? :grin:
Lol. I would love to upgrade to RNS510 but can't justify the cost
Otherwise there's no reason why you can't leave it as it is and then save up for some more mods.
this I will do until I figure out what's next!

I'm from around Stechford area. How about you?

Hail Red Brother! This car is looking really good :notworthy:. I think those wheels particularly suit it with the other body mods you have done.
Revo Stage2 will give you a difference, but I'd think hard before considering 2+.
What suspension mods do you have? Ant-roll bars?

Thanks Red. I do like the wheels but they are 19s and quite heavy too which is why I'm thinking of changing them.
I have Koni coilovers, no ARBs. In fact, the coilovers are my only suspension mod come to think of it.
I wouldn't go any further than Stage 2+. Are you at stage 2? If so, how would you describe the difference from stage 1 and would you ever go to stage 2+?

Thanks Matsu.
Can't really comment on the Twintake just yet, will do once I've given it a thorough going over :signLOL: What I will say is, the build quality is second to none :happy2:
Not sure what pics I can put up apart from the ones already on here :smiley:
Big Al, I've replied to your PM :happy2:

....You'll feel a big difference if you go for lightweight wheels.
Yes I'm at Stage2 and would describe the difference as more even and stronger at the upper end - Acceleration from 85 upwards to about 120 is surprising. But it's not as dramatic as when you first experience the difference between Stage1 and standard.
Personally I'm not inclined to go to Stage2+ because I simply don't feel the need for more power and there's no doubt that more demands would be placed on the engine - It'll take it but I prefer some headroom. I'm not recommending people against Stage2+ but only saying it's not for me.
