History
Brought with 82,000km on the clock in 2002. Everything stock except it was running 15x6.5 wheels. I cannot find pics of it at the moment. In 2003, I fitted some 17x7 chromies, 30mm lowering King springs and a HUGE 3in straight through exhaust with a 5in tip. The exhaust lasted 6 months and was changed to current version. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...rAtMums027.jpg http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...rAtMums028.jpg Still looks like a 4WD with 215/45R17 tyres and 30mm springs. Early 2005, chrome tail light were fitted. $420 eBay job from Germany. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...hrometials.jpg Then in late 2005, the current 18x7.5 wheels were fitted. Now the out-of-date and out-of-place chrome tail lights had to go. So hit up ozeparts for a $240 set of black tail lights and had the beaver panel painted. Much better. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...ispaint003.jpg Early 2006, I borrowed JIC coilovers and they were an instant hit. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...9052006002.jpg Late 2006, started fitting all the suspension mods and change over to D2 coilovers. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...ilovers002.jpg In 2007, started to get into Motorkhanas quite alot. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...orkhana022.jpg http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...0320182028.jpg In 2008, Dan got me some 15x7 Mazdaspeed wheel from Japan. And have used them with the supplied rubber in a few motorkhanas. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...cc23nov603.jpg http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...y/IMG_3688.jpg http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...wwheels001.jpg In 2009, got another set of 15x7 Mazdaspeed rims and fitted all 4 with semi slick style tyres. Then plan is to get into some more motorsports and hit Lakeside with Marc and Dean by the end of this year. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...y/SDC10227.jpg |

damn man every time i c this car i smile :D
ps i hate u for having a black interior.. stupid P3 :p hehe |
why what colour is ur interior?
what do u mean by chrome headlights? are they the stock ones? |
the serius 1 and 2 BA had a grey and black enterior, predominatly grey.. we do have cooler door cards IMO but its still grey :( series 1 had a better G series gearbox and series 2 have engines that were put together by kia apparently. crappy oil rings so i have the worst of three :(
|
So what do i have?:P i have the grey interior
|
Yeah Ry can't wait tilll ya hit the track with us dude. Semi Slicks should go nicely on those rims too.
|
had a good run on the tyres today. tried them at 34psi.
turn in and steering response is great. it's instant and i feel everything i should. braking is teeth shattering. feels like the rear is gonna lift off the ground when braking. mid corner / apex speeds seem only to be marginally better. but am still having issues with the older suspension. i have a feeling the alignment is off again. corner out speed is awesome. i am able to apply full power running out of the corner without any tyre slip. makes a huge difference with short stabs between tight corners. after a while, the day got hotter and the road temp rised. the firmness of the ride got alot bumper. so i'm assuming the pressure raised a bit, and i didn't have a tyre psi gauge to check them. the tyres were getting hotter and the grip got a little better. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...eelsntyres.jpg |
the BA certainly looks porn with all MS-01's on it :D:D
So the tyres worth the monies? |
yes, well worth it. but anything bigger than a 35% aspect ratio is gonna handle better. but the lateral grip is huge with these kumhos. :) soft compound = big grip.
|
Ryan i think i might have seen ur car before i don't know if it was definately u but it was a F rego:P looked a lot like ur car just can't remember were it was lol
|
Probably, as I lived in Mountain Creek for 18 months.
