well found another problem... my ECU water temp sensors plug is missing... not just not plugged in... just completely cut off... F#!@!!!!
no wonder I can't get the thing to idle etc correctly.. there is always something!
at least I got the consult plug wired in, added a pushbutton start (don't judge me! š³ )
closed up all the gaping holes, soldered the last few wires, forgot to add a check light DOH! so need to reopen the passenger kickpanel!
argh!!
oh fitted modified LED side indicators.. looks good in my opinion...
what else... mmm not sure....
still need to fit wideband and water temp guage.

Thanx! yeah I know... no money for the Teins at the moment... so will do a hillbilly for now and just cut out two coils on my stock springs... should be fine for a couple of months.

wat i was looking for
lower the cabbie and put on a nice set of tires and your sorted
Thanks Riekert

Same dude. when I saw them I knew I wanted them. thanx again.
and the tires are still drivable... more or less. hehe
still need to figure out what size to get... cause the 235 are nice and fat. but expensive too...
and I'm getting a set of stock springs end of the month. so it should be dropped in a week or two.
225/45's i think will be your best on price
