Not sure whether I've asked this before- does the newer style wheel still have the airbag wired up?

Car is filthy in all the best ways

Don't know, but sometimes you can find blind discs ie without the predrilled holes. Thumbs up for the work, because I see a lot of measuring/thinking and looking up before you reached the solution.

Nice power curve. 7500 RMPS? Whiehaa! Can the stock internals deal with that kind of abuse?

Keep the updates coming!

Next up was a rebuild of my front coilovers...as some of you know, I run the FRS as low as I could get the coilovers to go...this meant winding them right the way down on the Gaz Gold coilovers...

I wanted to go lower so I took them off and got them rebuilt...while Gaz had the coilovers, I made sure they checked them over to make sure they were OK and even after 5 years or so of being on the car, they reported the valves and everything within the shock itself were ok and didnt need rebuilding...

This meant they could get on with modifying the coilovers to go even lower on the front (although they were shaking their heads in disbelief I wanted to go lower LOL)...so this meant a set of Custom springs being made up which are specced for a race car, custom bump stops, and the top of the shock machined...they were then picked up looking like this...

So how low does it sit now???

Been getting the car ready for a magazine photoshoot tomorrow...so over 2 days, I have detailed the car getting it as spot on as I could in the time allowed while working on other cars and projects...

First up was to foam it! Despite when I posted up the last photos of it, it hasn't been washed for around 2-3months!

Then it was washed with Megs NXT car shampoo

Bonnet lifters

Then rolled into the garage for some work...notice the marks on the bonnet thanks to having ribbons on the car for a friends wedding

431hp ready to be shown off

The install ready to go
