Default UKDM Sedan Build thread

Hey guys so ok, im not from thestates but this forum is a serious amount of knowledge in it and think tis awesome so thought id join and get a build thread going see what you think. any help or advise would be great.

Here some pics after i had bought it a washed it. Totally Stock rare to find one in this condition in the uk without being modded.

picked this up for £400 though.



















have plans to make it look like this but... got a ways to go yet!

might change my idea along the way...





any thoughts?

i really like some of the sedans on here really different to the uk scene!

dont amber the corners, trade them to me!!!!
i have a set of USDM ones half and half, or i have some i painted amber i will trade you.
right now im on cut springs on stock struts with ground control top hats at all 4 corners, its a pretty terrible ride.
way to soft so i bottom my front upper control arms outon the shock towers constantly lol.
id just wait, it will be worth it..

I plan on cutting mine. not much, but maybe an inch, inch and a half. (2.5cm-4cm in your case ) Not really slammed or enough to blow the struts but its enough to make it not look like total mud truck status.

dumb...

Clear corners are ALL OVER in the UK. They come STOCK on cars and if they do buy amber ones..they would most likely be overpriced cus of shipping.

Goof? I think not

You'll come to find HT does have lots of good archived info, but for the most part it's not that awesome.
Too big for it's own good.
