[QUOTE="DarkChild, post: 1063785282, member: 270"] So, I've gotten somewhat of a Union Jack done on the roof... This was done by Remus Chang at Motorsport Playground. [IMG]https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ZAanUf6Wvtk/TsoXQapM8FI/AAAAAAAANlU/hvJl5TZan4k/s640/photo%2525203%252520%25255B800x600%25255D.JPG[/IMG] Still thinking whether to get the bonnet stripes done or not. [IMG]https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-rEhDZ-BVSag/TsoZJ4GS5pI/AAAAAAAANls/e4fTu6d8me4/s640/photo%2525205.JPG[/IMG] The Koni FSD's were way too soft for our roads. I did not feel comfortable with them. Eventually, I decided to give them up and go back to the stock dampers with some Tein H-Tech springs. Picked them up from Exotic Mods. These springs drop the car's height about half an inch. It doesn't seem much but when the springs settle, it looks pretty low. I now occasionally scrape bumps that are too high or dips that are too steep. Looks good though...

Got a nice Pipercross Viper Carbon Induction Kit and Alta Silicone intake hose. Can't say I feel much difference in terms of power, but there is a nice deep suction sound now when you floor it.

Wanna buy a go-kart?

I love go-karts.
I love how raw they are,
I love the simplicity of the design,
I love the zero body roll and the transfer of the G-forces to your body...
