not too crazy about the extend-o-wing, but the rest looks sweeeeeeet!

Nice!
How long have you had the car?

very nice, I don't mind the wing, its nice in my opinion. Are you going to get a front lip like ssv and talon sells?

okay, to answer some questions.

The car.

Had it for about 4years.
160,000k's on the dial.

And the wing is an experiment only. It's just a concept until i find one i like.

Brandon's Fastpyre wing was a first preference but can only use what we can afford.

Yes, I'm getting a Lancer Evo 4 front lip, with the 2 inserts. (globe lights)
and my custom rear bumper is almost finished.

SSV no longer supply or create rear bars or front bars to that extent. Discontinued
I'll be throwing more up there once it's all finished, I still have to install my xbox and TFT monitor into my car, once that's done, rest of the engine and stickers will be complete too.

It'll be a goer then.

very nice, a variable pimp my ride! Can't wait to see what you come up with man!

Yea if i havent already mentioned it.

lamborgini contarch lift doors. That's what im currently working on besides my xbox and Tft system.

All the interior neons and shift light guages have been installed.
Just wait till yall see it.

more pics to come

Bring them on! I love this diverse place we live in!!!

Which state are you in?

Australia, Queensland


Wants to be the first kind of glowspire in Australia.

I've got a new mem-card so ill gladly take more pics.
Probally swappin that current wing for a GT wing or
somethin Carbon. See how i go.

Just went and bought my TFT panel screen for my Aspire
so i gotta get that thing installed when i get the time.

=)

Ah coolo.
Sydney here. Man there's a few members up in Qld now!

yea, Aspires arent the biggest thing in AUS, but too many fat-heads driving around in skylines and B&S utes...

It's the age of the aspire! Let them roll out!



Current Project: Engine steam clean and hose braiding, TFT Screen + Xbox installation

Your car is awesome! Very nicely done indeed!

Post some larger pics (1024x768) so I can add them to the front page of the site.

Thanks!

It's not fully finished there's still a lot left to do.

As for the original size pics, I think i can do that for you.

MOAR pics!


These' are some of the pics i took today.

Washed and gleaming, Neons on too!

Beauitful isnt she?





The interior at the moment, Neons under the dash really make a difference!
Unfortunately for the camera, if there's not enough light, it blurs everything....

Grrr still it took a nice pic.
