you serious man!? I could do my whole turbo conversion for the price of them

the whole turbo conversion eh? On an OBDII? maybe, but it would be done with junk yard parts/ knock-offs and it would not have a decent tune. Or last for that matter. You cannot boost your car correctly for the price of k-sport coilovers.

There is a large difference from what "can" be done and what "should" be done.

big brake kit, not coilovers!
wich by my reckoning is around 800 pounds.

I alre3ady: a 323 mani and baffled sump wich was 5 pounds.
a vj-11 in good condition wich was 100 pounds.
330cc injectors 20 pounds.
mr2 IC 20 pounds.
all alu thin wall boost pipes we have lying around at work;)
rubber elbows off scrapyard boosted motors were 20 pounds.

still need a clutch 200 pounds
oil line 20
cooland pipe fittings 20
smaller rad 20 pounds from the breakers
and management 300 pounds if i can buy second hand.
might even get a tune up and just tip 800.

One of my freinds boosted his b6 miata with a second hand full turbo kit wich
was 500 quid second hand and that was 100% reliable for 3 years and 25K miles
so im sorry but you are wrong on this occasion! I can do it for the price of some 800 pound brakes , using no knock offs and be reliable!

Cool pics

How are you liking the ride quality of the K-sports???

Ar I see why you said i need the k-sport big brake kit now.

They are not K-sports though, but XYZ super sport coilovers.

They are very plush, i love 'em. quite stiff, but not bouncy or harsh
at all, this is my daily driver car so I have them on the softest setting
at the moment -80mm, they will lower to 120mm though.

cornering has just become in another league

O now I see . They must be a related company because they look exactly the same.

XYZ are lesser known in USA/Canada.
and are not related to k-sport in any way. They are similar in design, but not the same

photoshop of somehting im thinking of doing
to the rear lights.

Ok so winter project no.1 will be those rear lights as above
Have cut out 8 x 100mm roundels in vinyl using
a scalpel and metal blank as a guide, to use as
spray masks, so I can paint the existing lights using
plastic primer, satin black and then a final coat of
high gloss laqceur, also managed to cut some 100mm
roundels of flyeye, so I may tint the lights afterwards
except for the reflectors!



Winter project no. 2 involves paint matching to my car a pair
of projector headlights (buying soon as boss came through with a good bonus!) and no.3 getting a second hand bumper
to modify, as below


bonnet louvres will be stamped in just before the turbo goes in

wow... looks like a ferrari 550 maranello at first there in that las pic! hahaha nice....
are those neons on your rims???

nah It's highly reflective white rim tape wich picked
up nicely from the camera flash

haha ahhh cool... was gonna say... PRETTY sure that wouldnt be legal hahah

You can buy these sort of things though:
