Nick's CS-R

My Charade has just clocked its 2nd birthaday it was bought in May 96, it was one of the first in Adelaide. It has been lowered 1.5" on the front and 1" on the rear. This actually makes it look correct as the nose sits higher than the rear if you look at one side on normally.. So when you do get your car lowered it's always a good idea to have the rear

0.5" higher. 24mm sway bar on the front and currently still has the factory rear one (yes mine actually came with one). It also has a K-MAC kwik fit camber kit on the rear to stop the tyres scrubbing. The rims are 15" ones I got from Bob Jane of all places. I think they were racelace or something like that. Then 6 months down the track they met the guys from Spray Chief in Adelaide and got coloured, you cant quite see but they have a metallic

red lip and are colour coded white. Now these guys came up with the idea and technique for the ROH SP rims, so they know what they are doing. You have to get the tyres taken off and you have to spotlessly clean them yourself.. But it only costed $50 bucks a rim, and considering I picked them up for $150 each originally it all worked out real well compared to the cost of a set of Sparco's which look the same but would have cost heaps. I hear you

all screaming what the heck are those red bits under the head rest.. Well they are Motocross Shocker cover boots. All you need is a pair of them and then cut them

in half and that will do your front seats (Wow! Thanx Nick, a real upholstery extraordinaire! Ed.)
