Thanks for the positive comments guys.

Its always going to be one of those Marmite things, some love it , some hate it. The ones who tend to like it are those that are into the Timeattack/JTC look that is huge in Japan and has only just started to hit over hear.

Where as those who don't like it still like to stick with their traditional WRC wide look and arn't to into the jap racer scene.

Like me some like to be different and break the flow of things and try new looks and that isn't going to be to everyones liking, at the end of the day everyone has their own individual taste.

Some people still didn't like the way it looked before but one thing is for sure and thats if anyone else goes for the same kit as I have its because they want to be different. I love it!

Many years ago my parents said "can't you be just a normal kid, why do you have to be different" lol

 

^^^^^^^^

ditto!!

nice not to be flamed for airing an opinion!!

 

Do you fancy some Rota Torque rims, 18"x9.5" ET35 ?

Super special price for ABW customer...

 

how about a special price for ABW

 

zero260's got these on now

 

Nice wheels! Really suit the car!

 

^^^dished rims look soooo cool

 

looks awesome in that pic

 

Thanks again for the kind words guys .

Thanks for the offer ZEN but I had a set of the Rota Torques TA edition on before but I wanted something a bit more bling....more me.lol

Just needs a nice set of coilovers on now so I can slam it down that little bit further.

 

Hey 0260 do u still want that squish doing?

 

Defo matey. Can you do it on the above pic or do you want me to take a side on shot at the weekend?

 

yea a new one sideon, highest quality/res your camera can do pls.

 

Thanks bud, I will get one over to you at the weekend.

 

These rear arches , front wings and side skirts are now available for sale

 

i want a front bumper like that for my bugeye

 

Hmmm, got me thinking now! What front wings would work with the side sills that fit the bugeye?

I'd like a rear like that but not as wide for my bugeye.

Ricey

 

I am just waiting on some better weather and I will get some better pics together. Bit grim tup north.

If anyone wants to check out ABW's kit in the flesh then it will be at this years NBO on the 28th of this month.

 

Bit of an update.

As you can see the rotas have now gone and been replaced with a set of the Ultralite Atec II's in the 18x9.5" width and with a 35 offset. I could go a little wider if need be as the kit Daren from ABW made can house some seriously wide rubber. I wasn't to keen on the black rotas before because they seemed to dissapear into the arches and not stand out.....I like my bling.

I also wasn't very happy with the way the car sat so high to the rear when it was on its standard jap spec shocks and Tein S-Tech springs and the ride was a little bit to hard for our great british roads. So I went for a set of the BC coilovers and I have got to say that the ride quality has been greatly improved.

Its currently set at 8 clicks and it feels just right, alot smoother and grips the corners like its on rails which was something I was a little concerned about as I had gone for such wide wheels.

With lowering the car at the rear by about 15mm and the front by about 5mm (my splitters gonna last long.....not!) the car has a much better stance as you can see in the following pictures:







Hope you like.

 

it may be me but do the front and rear arches look a different shade of white or is it the light.

 

Its the light I can assure you. Darens (ABW) work is one thing that can't be faulted.

 

Glad you changed the wheels to something brighter. Very nice and glad you've gone outside the box

 

Thanks bud.

 

If I had the money I would do the same so credit where credit is due.

 

I am still toying with the idea of changing the wheels again to a set of the Rota Grids in white (30 offset) but it will all depend on getting a good enough deal on a set.

 

looking gooood! atec 2's suit it a lot better darren is doing me a one off bodykit for my time attack hawkeye spec c next month so i can house wider wheels 18x10 so should look nice and fat. i chose abw over at least 10 other bodyshops. his work is unparraleled, absolutely flawless

dont change the rims the rota range is raped, everyone has got a set on their scoob/evo atec 2's look nice

 

Cheers utaka. Daren mentioned something about a project he will be working on next month, its gonna look great.

 

Looks like its the wrong shade of white mate, you would have been better off painting the full sides IMO

 

You can't tell that from a naff picture taken from my phone and if you know what Darens work is like then you wouldn't be making that comment.

 

the kit is really growing on me, the more i see it the more i like it!!

especially everytime you make a little change, amazing the difference that a few mm makes to the stance!!!

i know you said that the splitter won't last long but i reckon you need a carbon lip up front
