I'm sitting on 130mm with car empty. No issues because its been well set up. I am rolling over speed bumps no worries.

just measured mine, the side skirts are 130mm off the deck too. there are bits under the car which i can see are lower (control arms with an antilift kit makes them the lowest bit pretty much)

just finished getting the front guards rolled, no more evil scraping noises.

Keeping the old girl going, some new parts.

- GFB Short Shift Kit
- Ultrex Bushings
- STI Knob
- DBA T3 4000 Series Fronts
- Whiteline Positive Shift Kit
- New rear bar and new boot lid (GX Boot), as de-winged

High ticket items, still on the want list:

2006 6 speed, waiting for great price.
New 207 build, when/if engine ever dies.

Car still running perfectly.
Not really any other mods I want/need to be honest.

(Updated Page 1)

Cheers guys,
Richo

By treating the engine right, it's never going to die. You know it. I know it. Mr Suburu knows it.

Hah yeah, you might be right - service it every 10k. When I do it's usually a $500-600 service, new parts, top fluids etc.

Could do it on the cheap, but that's not me.

Something about it looks different... are the lights stockers? I can't pick it. Maybe just because it's so clean? Looks mint regardless.

Yeah all stock mate. There is a LED third brake light there on the parcel shelf you can't really see, to keep it legal.
