I've had my Torneo SIR-T for about 4 years now, it was a complete factory Japanese import when I got it, completely stock standard. It's had a huge transformation from a stock standard car into what it is now. My goal for this car is basically to be a comfy, daily driver that is fun to drive with a bit of power up her sleeve and an emphasis on being clean and sleek. All while still being practical.

When I bought it she looked like this...



Over the last few years she's had a lot of various things done, 35% tints, suspension work, Fujitsubo Legalis R exhaust and a few other bits.

As of last week she was sitting on EURO R struts with Apex'i lowering springs, this was a pretty nice drop, about 45mm from factory SIR-T (which is around 20mm higher than EURO R!). A set of 17x7 wheels completed the look...

For me the front left a little to be desired. It had to go lower!! The back I was/am pretty happy with as I want to have a slightly agressive semi-rake stance.

So I ordered some BC GOLD Coilover suspension and adjustable Hardrace rear camber arms. Last night I got it all fitted up and I'll let the pictures do some of the talking.



Let's be honest, we needed some WONGS!



Pulled out front struts and compared, there was a big difference on the rears too...





A few hours later, it was getting dark and late, decided to set the height roughly to where I want it, and take it for a drive to see the feel :) This suspension feels GREAT! so nice around corners and has pretty much no bounce or harshness, very very nice.

Looks pretty nice too :)





Since then I've set the coil overs exactly how I want them, wheel alignment completed and adjusted camber into spec with the new camber arms (sitting right on -1.5 all round).



You may also notice my new front has been sorted! EURO R front lip fitted and even the foglights. To install foglights was a bit of a mission as the SIR-T does not have the brackets on the car's chassis to mount. Paintwork done and a bit of plastic repairs to the lip to make it mint. Thanks to Rod Wood panel beaters for their great hard work.

I also got a new EZLip from the states which I think makes the front end look really sweet. Also helps protect the new paint from getting scraped. It does a fantastic job too, I've scraped the crap out of the EZLip and not a single scratch on the EURO R lip. The EZLip can take a beating and still looks awesome too.



After that, a decent wash and wax...





Some guard rolling



And Volia!





Please excuse the horrible photos, I have not had a chance to take any with my DSLR yet as I've been busy, but will update soon with some decent ones!

 

Very nice! Love those cars. Wish they had them here!

 

Nice civic. Looks like girl owned car. Well cared...

 

 

It kinda looks like a cross between a P11 G20 and a R33 Skyline GTS Sedan.
