whew.. it's all dusty on this thread.

SADLY, I had a video on youtube with my car driving around in the city but the "SO PROFESSIONAL" artist, who filmed and edited the video decided to delete it because.. why not? I still have no idea why he did it but boo him.

back to subject
so a few updates wouldn't hurt...:

In the meantime I mounted a skid plate, changed the timing belt, oil, custom exhaust, egr blanked, drjonez, interior ambient lights, bluetooth audio and many more but the best thing I did is that I sold my rare ST wheels and found something better. I found a set of ARRAKIS on 17" and "tailored" it to fit exactly how I wanted it.
The whole wheels were modified and also, i added another spacer in the back, so right now my spacers at the back are 35 and at the front 20. Best part is, I installed a bigger turbo on my 1.6 diesel engine and the car right now is so powerful that the clutch is slipping. (and killing bmws) )

Next modifications will be :
-custom intake
-bigger exhaust..and something interesting
-19" wheels
-bigger intercooler
-"bigger" pressure sensor
-my clutch will be also custom made with ceramic and so on
-better brakes from ATE
-a custom ECU re-map
-and so on...

p.s. i will lower it back how it was i just needed to drive somewhere and wasn't sure about the road conditions.

here are some pictures with the old setup and from the last car event where i participated:







because details matter, check out my 2 min center cap




and the money shot :




and I also found this picture on facebook)




and here it is, on arrakis with 215/45/17. I will have to lower it to how it was
