^ hehe

I love that KE35 with the four spoke sprinties.

Your car just looks so much more showy with the new wheels. But you need to put a pearl through your paintjob or paint it a bit brighter to really gain some attention

the KE is my mates car he loves the thing! its a cool little car!
paints something i'll probably look into when the car isnt driven daily.. if it was A1 i would be too scared to drive it lol but a pearl would definitely be awsome! maybe like a red pearl over the blue to make it look sorta like my signature pic but i might be dreaming hehe

Looking good mate! I reckon you need to lower it more though!! Get those wheels and tyres tucked up into the guards!

i would lower it more but at the moment the exhaust goes over the diff and as it is with people in the back it bottoms on the diff so i'll have to get that changed.. but the back definately would look better lower...

cheers for the comment

Hi
You guys in sa dont have rego checks do you? If you do just do what i do with my ute and have dump pipes but also have dummy pipes out the back to make the exhaust look like its there. When rego time rocks up just bolt some pipe back to where the dumps and dummy pipes are (mine takes 10 mins to swap over) and vola a legal exhaust again.
If you dont drive flat out cops never check as long as your just crusin.

yeah thats a pretty good idea! and luckily we don't have rego checks here however the police seem to be handing out the defects of late so i might play it safe for now.. considering i drive the car everyday its pretty important i keep it respectable

hey
go and ask a mechanic to get out his roadworthy book and get a photo copy of it ,
I asked a local mech and he said "exhaust had to be past last opening window"
when we looked at updated rules they say "40mm behind last floorpan weld"
he then said mine will be fine (dumped at diff)

it now has little elbows after the mufflers. AND SOUNDS GREAT
