It is cricket when there is no space between you legs because of the bolsters on the seat. I was thinking about getting the cup holders for mine for that reason.

Oh. I hadn't thought of that.

Haven't posted anything in a while.
Have had a lot done in the past few weeks with my cappuccino. The car has been fully resprayed and looking so fresh! Will post up pics when I get a chance.
Tyres arrived the other day for my ssr mesh wheels. No need in forking out a fortune on tyres so decided on a set of 165/45/15 nankang NS2 tyres. On a 7inch wheel that will give plenty amount of stretch  Picking them up tomorrow from the garage fitted but a small tease of what they look like. Let's hope all that time waiting they will fit nicely.
Also this week, have been to speak to a blacksmith about getting a mid strut brace made up. Picking it up next week.
Another thing fitted is my apexi boost gauge. Just needing to make a holder for it and I'll be happy.
It's all go now for my car to get all the parts on! |

not having second thoughts lord. Just not had a lot of time to post up pictures and updates. A lot has been happening.
Strut brace will be ready tomorrow so seat and harness will be going in at the weekend.
Getting a custom exhaust made up next week. Still unsure whether to go for a cat back system or go for a full manifold back. Has anybody got a decat cappuccino? How do they sound?
I will take some pics and get them up when i have more time |

patience. All will be revealed soon enough.
Was going for a more jdm tyre stretch than euro stretch but very similar. It's a good thing I did tyre stretch otherwise they tread would've been poking out of the arch lol! |

| If people drifting have no problems running stretch tyres and keeping them on the rims comparing they go sideways so a lot of force is put on to the sidewall. Its not a problem I know a lot of people who run stretch tyres and have had no problems. Even my daily has some stretch. |

| i had a daily civic that was decked and head good stretched tyres and they were fine, stretched tyres ina way can give you better handling because there is less play in the tyre wall, but having said that if you keep away from pot holes they are perfectly fine |

ok so pictures of the wheels on the car. The car does need to be lowered, a lot! You can also see the new paint job. Sorry it's not the best quality, rubbish phone pictures
here's a couple of other angles of the wheels on the car
Also a couple quick pitctures of the new mid strut brace made up. Pretty happy with it
The brace will be fitted next week along with the seat. The car will also be going to the garage next Thursday for a new exhaust system. Hope you all like the progress.

| No problem. If you used different tyres then they will fill the arches a bit more than what mine have |

Keeping it true to the car, JDM is definately the way forward.
Exhaust has been booked in for Friday morning. Wasn't 100% whether to go for a full manifold back system or just go for a cat bak system. Decided to go for a cat back system with a bolt in decat!!!
Have a 3" HKS back box which will fit the car quite nicely and compliment it well. Of course it will be angled and tilted up. |

Cannon needs to be bigger 
How good does a Cappa sound with a Cannon??? Especially after 5k rpm where it seems to get louder! |

Love the exhaust sound on the cappuccino, especially with a small backfire now and again. Have had a few different exhaust systems on different cars but I think the cappuccino is one of the best sounds I've driven.
I didn't want a huge 4" or 5" back box on the car as it would look a little bit out of place in my eyes due to the car's size. |

Talk about a heavy duty strut brace! Big enough to be the driveshaft, looks good  |
