BC's are on! Not had a chance to take any proper photos, perhaps I will on the weekend.

Doesn't look much lower? What's the drop?
Re: Gareth's 1999 Sonic Shadow Revision 5
I've not measured it.
That's next to a car at stock height for comparison.
Also, my Advans are ready!
Should go on this weekend.

Got a 28mm Hoya OM lens on the weekend, so went out and had a play with it. Still struggling a little with manual focus / manual exposure. Getting there though. Car is looking pretty good I think!
Re: Gareth's 1999 Sonic Shadow Revision 5
Big fan of Advan SA3s and SA3Rs. Suit the car perfectly.
Re: Gareth's 1999 Sonic Shadow Revision 5
MR2's and RX7's are among the few cars that can actually pull them off IMO. Some S bodies can, but it's a bit hit and miss with them I think.
Re: Gareth's 1999 Sonic Shadow Revision 5
A few from the Norfolk run on the weekend. Made good use of the fresh oil!
Re: Gareth's 1999 Sonic Shadow Revision 5
What's better than staggered 16inch Advan SA3's?
staggered 17inch Advan SA3's with polished lips, of course!

Seen gazza's car in person and its mint .. love the advans .. will be watching with interest
Re: Gareth's 1999 Sonic Shadow Revision 5
Not much to add, just general maintenance. Nothing exciting! Glad I got rid of the T1R's at the front, much more grip from Ultrac Sessanta's.

Looks smart

Thanks Red.
Potentially some big changes for it next year. We'll see how it goes

Ive been admiring this car for quite some time on FB
Clean, subtle but definitely making a statement... Not to mention your excellent photography
I'm Interested to hear about the plans for it

Thanks George.
If the right donor comes up (and I have the spare cash to buy it), it'll get a turbo conversion next year, hopefully. I don't want to pull apart a good Rev3 turbo to do it though! Needs to be a rotten / crash damaged one ideally.
