Especially as you can't see the dead flies I had to polish over

[cheeky_rick]

[DazH]

Quality pic but my wheels look too small in it!!

Great to meet everyone - DazH didn't see you go but good to chat.

Shame we couldn't get all of them together over the weekend. Matt turned up on the Sunday & a black one appeared as I went so we had a potential five!!

Next year maybe!

[Bakewell]

hi how do i post pictures on my post's sorry to be a little off topic. wat size wheels are they rick?

[matt_hillyard]

That is a quality pic!!!! Your Seos look great!!!!!

Shame i couldnt have been in it!!! :( :( :(

As Si said there was a black one that turned up and after Si went there was a bloke with a white one that turned up and knew my car from cardomain so there could have been 6!!!!!!!!!! 6 PASEOS!!!! The logistics are simply mind boggling!?!? lol.

I will make the whole weekend next year and i am really annoyed i could have met more of you, and i was looking to see Daz engine bay in the flesh, hay ho there is always next year :(

Cant wait for it now!!!!

Bakewell Correct me if im wrong chaps but Rick and Si have 17s and Daz has 15s.

Si you got any piccys to post of ours on the sunday?? Ive got some but theyre on a disposable camera not digital as it broke <_<

Thanks for a weekend to remember i have a great one!

[cheeky_rick]

Yeah, there 17's and im about to get rid of them and put some new wheels on :)

[DazH]

Yeah sorry had to leave early :( Had to pick up mates girlfriend which stuck another two hours on journey across country, no motorways<_<

Wished I'd stayed longer now :(

Actually Matt, just realised your location say's Ipswich, we're setting off for Ipswich in a couple of hours to stay at some friends for a couple of days

If you're in the area?

DazH ive PM'd you about meeting up

Random JAE Paseo fact i thought of but of all 6 Paseos at JAE only 2 were the same colour, Black!

I cant wait for the next one. I got some good pics but are not digi but will see what sort of size they are once scanned into my pc.

[Bakewell]

thanks how much you lowered it by now sorry?

[Yaris_Tsport]

think i am gonna have to get a paseo next they look awesome and they are different.How much would i be looking at to get one???maybe with a set of alloys on??now have a 98 starlet wont be till next year but just some ideas would be handy. either that or a yaris for the next motor.

[matt_hillyard]

Bakewell Si's red one has been lowered 40mm on spax, so has mine (not pictured) i think daz's is also 40mm on Pi and Ricks im not sure about but buy the looks of it has been lowered 40mm, think they might be Pi but not sure.

Starletpower You can pick them up from about £2500 for an ST model all the way up to about £3995 for an SI. There are a few differences but check out parkers price guide online to see full spec differences.

17's are a must but word of advice as i learnt out the hard way dont get 17s untill you have the money to get some lowering springs (£90 spax) as well or the Paseo becomes a 4x4. ;) It's not good.

They are v exclusive as there were only 6 across the whole JAE weekend. There almost as many NSX's over the weekend as there were Paseos!!!! Now thats pretty cool in my books :P

[cheeky_rick]

mine is 40mm on spax mate, just lettin u know

[Firthy]

Sweet looking cars!!!

[jechto]

any cynos turn up ?

[Bakewell]

thanks matt and rick. i will go for 17's then with a big drop.

[cheeky_rick]

aye mate i got a much bigger drop planned for mine too

[matt_hillyard]

what sort of drop are you talking as i thought you can only drop them a max of 40mm unless you get hydros or air bags?

[cheeky_rick]

not sure yet, maybe 100mm

[matt_hillyard]

How would you be able to get that sort of drop without cutting springs??

[96paseo]

alright you lot i saw all your paseo's there didnt see any off ya tho. didnt have my paseo there as its of the road at the moment putting in my 4efte engine and lots of other bits!! definately bringing it next year tho. i unfortunatally had to borrow my dads st205 celica gt4! quite fast!! only had 155mph on the way up tho to much traffic. lol. hopefully have it running soon

[cheeky_rick]

matt_hillyard i have seen some adjustable spring kits, there a spring that is on a base plate that you can wind in and out, so u can make your car lower or higher like coilovers but not as good.
