Default Gave the ST170 a well needed shower!

Car was looking filthy from the last few weeks of hacking down the lanes to work. Mud all up the sides and over the roof!

Mods so far:

OZ Superturismo's with Toyo tyres
Coilovers
Blueflame Exhaust
Bluefin Remap
K&N Filter
Wrapped Manifold
Front strut brace
Rewiper removed
LED Bulbs all round
Uprated plugs and leads

Anyway.....

Wheels are 17's. Looked tiny before the coilovers, but would say there spot on now.

Bluefin was well worth it in my opinion. Levelled out all the flat spots and improved response. Much smoother to drive and better fuel economy.

Blueflame exhaust didn't make much difference, but was noticable. Sound it gorgeous though!!!!

Cheers for the comments! Keep looking at getting a new shape ST, but just prefer the look of the older MK1.5.

Looking to do a few more bits to the ST170...but can't think what to do!!

Think they are ET48. Same as the stock ST170 alloys. Got a pair of 10mm rear axle spacers on the back though, so rears are really ET38. Both sit spot on now for the drop. Rubs on the arch liner if I hit a big bump, but stays clear of the painted wings luckily.

And always been a believer of the 'less is more' theme when it comes to modding!
