Coming Along Slowly

[armoredfist2002]

Had the car lowered today on tein basics, much stiffer and better through corners

may need to go a touch lower though

also had my 3g 10 groove front & read discs, endless pads front & rear, goodridge lines and new brake fluid fitted.

Now that looks good, I think the height looks perfect.

[Burnie1000]

Looking good

What size are your alloys, 16's?

Ive got the exact same 1's but in 17's, but not fitting them to my TS. I want lightweight 15's ;)

How much do you reckon uve dropped it by?

[Baby Yari]

I thought the wheels looked really small on the car?? Car looks great, not too keen on the alloys though, sorry mate!!

[Demonic Angel]

Looks smart mate, glad to hear you're happy with this new car

[armoredfist2002]

thanks for replies

alloys are 15's

I asked for it to be lowered 50mm but the message wasn't passed on to the mechanic who was fitting them so he went by the guidelines in the manual and it's supposed to be 30mm, but it looks lower, id say between 35mm & 40mm.

i'm slowly going off the wheels, I want some 16's. and more jap looking.

now i've got a bit of a squeak coming from the rear of the car is this normal for the teins.

I've missed a whole episode again! Did you get a new car from the dealers?

Anyway, I really like your choice of mods so far mate apart from your wheels, it's coming along very nicely!

[armoredfist2002]

yes, the first one was accident damaged wasn't happy after it had been repaired, so took it back and got a replacement.

[Ryan1985]

You should get the black bits on the bumpers painted again, it looked really good on the last car!

[Al J]

Looking good. Anyone tried white Enkeis on a Thunder Grey? <hint> ;)

Glad you're happier with your new car.

[Blue84]

Looks good, sitting lower does suit Yaris' well

[Woody27]

Nice height but not a huge fan of P2's Sorry and the alloys aren't to my taste. Other than that done good job and i bet it brakes amazingly now huh?

Yes that's normal with tein's

Looks great mate, very tidy. Not too keen on the style of wheels though, no doubting they suit the car and that, but I've seen those wheels on way too my Corsas etc for my liking.

Great looking little car mind :)

lmao i have the same problem. but need to lower mine as well. its like an addiction MUST BE LOWER :P

as for the sqeek yes mine does it as well. does my head in. so i either get the revs up to make more noise or turn the radio up.

[Chuck04]

bah, i can get up the drive backwards fine

speedbumps... now thats a hole other story

[Kerby]

i still dont know how ur drivin around eastbourne that low. i had to raise mine when i was down there thru fear of loosin my bumper

[armoredfist2002]

Scraped the underneath of the car 3 times already.

Insurance won't allow me to drop it lower than 50mm.

I am after new wheels but cannot find many I like.

Just had a price off kevin for some, just under £1500 for a set of 4 16's.

If only I had the money, and wasn't paying for my car.

[Kerby]

who u insured with. cant really see why u cant lower it any more that 50mm. have u told them its is coilovers u have fitted?

[armoredfist2002]

i'm insured with elephant

make no difference what you've got, you can't lower the car more than 50mm

I think it's 50mm at the moment.

[Ryan1985]

They'll never know if it's 50mm or more and if somehow they find out it's more than 50mm just play dumb!

[Jones~32]

Looks good mate, not sure on the wheels though
