Not liking the exhaust but other than that looks like a nice example :)

Actually... where have you fixed those harnesses too in the back?
 
Those exhausts are WAAAAAY too big, are you losing power from them?

Where are the harnesses attatched?

I prefer the standard wheel colour myself but white looks ok.

Apart from that I like it a lot :D

They are proven on dyno to increase bhp
Harness attached to the rear seatbelt bolt
Wheels where completely curbed at the time I got the car and I liked the wheels I done on my last one so done it again

But incorrectly positioned harnesses can do more harm than good iirc.

Edit - Looks like they're ok.

Still don't see the need in them though :p

Oh right, surprising really- at that size I would think they would be loud but lose some power.

I'm warming up to the white, I bet they are a pain in the a** to keep clean though!

Oh and the halfords pro range rocks.

yeah i understand that, but he has since posted that they are contect to rear seatbelt bolt which must be withing the right angle... i just feel sorry for the people in the back:p;)
 
I prefer the standard wheels myself. If they needed refurbishing, gunmetal might have been a good alternative finish. I like all the performance mods, but the harnesses are a bit OTT for a road car. Do they render the rear seat belts unusable?

Fox just likes to take the urine with the accord type R thats all ,

You can stick your rolleyes up your fundament.

If it's for 'when its on track', where is the rollcage?

Don't worry though. When you roll your car and are pinned to the seat as the roof caves in, compressing your spine and leaving you dying a slow death from internal bleeding, we get to say 'I told you so...'

Oh come off it, you posted it up for comments and I said how much I liked the front! I offered a positive comment and followed it up with my opinion on the back. Why did you even post this thread if you dont want opinions?

Infact, stuff ya then ;) You car is crap - it's got a stupid plastic interior which I'd be dissapointed with if I'd have spent £500 let alone £5k, the rear wing is totally at odds with the rear bumper, its like they couldnt bothered to design a proper bodykit so just stuck an enormous wing on it. The wheels look awful unless they are 100% clean, so they look awful 90% of the time. Your harness is probably not even fitted properly and will do you more harm than good in a crash and the engine is an annoying thing which must be caned to within an inch of its life to get any performance out of it, which is great in a small hatch but rubbish in a big saloon.;)

Looks nice, I like white wheels on red cars. Exhausts do look a bit on big side though. And harness without cage = no.
