Loved your s2k from 2008 when you had the te37's concave till now. New look is spot on.

Thanks for all kind words!


Just a heads up on the wheels though. 18x10.5 +18 is more of a "standard" size for the amuse kit. So I had the rears spaced 10mm and the fronts spaced 5mm to get them more aggressive.

Wow what a thread. Funny how each of these iterations of your car have made wallpaper on my PC/phone etc over time and yet I always (ignoring license plates) believed they were different cars.

I adore the work you've done and the decision to go for quality parts you simply won't ever regret so well chosen.

I do empathise with your dis-passion and discontent with the car costing SO much, then needing lots of TLC. There are an awful lot of cars that look great in pictures, but once you see them in the flesh and they've spent 6 months being driven daily in all weathers, have rubbish paint or need plenty of general love as things have worn or fallen into general dis-repair.

Thanks for sharing your experiences and making those of us who've not yet fulfilled the wheels/kit/baller parts need in the same way you have, with you element of normality - you seem rather grounded.

May I ask - have you always bought parts out right or did you borrow and subsequently repay?

That's funny about the wallpapers haha

I've always bought the parts outright. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone well enough that would let me "try before I buy" lol.
