Tim's Autech S15 *Update 7/03/2008* track pics plus aero bumper

Hi,

this was my old car

here is my new car

the fronts hit the break caliper so will need spacers

Welcome Tim :wave:
Reckon you Kiwis must have all the Autechs!

Looking good. How big are those wheels?

 

[Topper]

I'm voting 18's, they look sweet and you should buy them :thumbs:

 

[sushiming]

looking god there mate iam so happy to see more and more S15 owners finding us now :wave:

Welcome,

Like the wheels, What make are they? The only think maybe its just me but i d'ont think they suit your car. Maybe its the black and the nazy. A set of Nismo lm4's in white would be gorgeous. Sorry..

 

[Autech_NZ]

Yeah they are 18's

F:18x7.5J R:18x7.5J
offset:26/31

The shop is selling them as "work vs" I had a look on the work site but couldnt find anything similar.

i really like them, but dont wanna pay for a name brand if it is a knock off like 'vork ravs'

any of you guys recognise them?

I too would like a nice set of lmgt4's but i spent all my money buying the car.

Cheers
Tim

Hello and welcome :wave:
Nice with another Autech on the site.
Like your wheels. They would suit my car very good

 

[Topper]

I take it back, dont buy them, get some wider ones :thumbs:

 

[Autech_NZ]

Update,

here are a few pics of the mods I have done to it.

Carbon fibre looking dial surrounds (already there when I bought the car)

ducktail spoiler (also done before I got it)

New leather nismo gear knob

Nismo radiator cover thing

I got these cause one parklight was blue and the other was white

Thats my rice addition

and finally i put these clear indicators in with much struggle on the weekend

 

[sushiming]

snap i got those too hehee :thumbs:

 

[Autech_NZ]

just bought a nismo front strut brace too and have an engine damper to go in.

those side indicators are supposed to be smoked but look quite cleat but not totally, i dont have anything to compare with. do you think they are smoked or clear?

 

[Yakozan]

Those looks clear to me

I've never seen the smoked ones live, but I thought that they should be way darker.

Nice pics. Liking the duck tail.. might go for one myself later. How is it fitted to the car? Any screws? Or is it just glue?

 

[Nicely]

You could have got a carbon fibre one....

Getting there, though.

 

[Topper]

Those are clear, i have the smoked ones

Well i could of but i got this nismo one for $20NZ so that would be like 7 pounds

new addition:

Before

After

I used your s14 guide Nicely, but it doesnt quite work for the s15 as you have to cut/drill a 2.5cm hole in the dustcover of the lights.

 

[Yakozan]

Nice :thumbs:

 

[Nicely]

Yeah, I know. I'll update it someday...

Good, aren't they?
