don't like it, sorry, the jap bumper and well... the rest of the kit just looks vile, could put up with the skirts, those don't look too bad and also the rims don't suit it and dare I go on?!

engine bay and interior looks smart... you just need to get some proper bucket sears or get yours reupustured... the seat covers let it down a bit!

the engine really does look nice now though... couldn't you have not done most that work yourself though rather then having others do it for you?

Thanks for the feedback.

It's either a love it or hate it with the kit and wheels... and well... im somewhat a fan of rice

I did the seats myself (they've been changed to nice Bride style racing buckets) but the threads were lost in the "missing/deleted posts saga" a few months back.
I havent bothered to repost

As for the engine work - I could've done almost all of the work except for the machine work and reassembling/balancing/blueprinting the engine internals.

The seats hug like crazy and I havent even driven the car with them in!

I think we had a thread on the definition of rice a little while ago...

Marmite is a brand name of Yeast Extract which goes on toast.
It's slogan is "You either love it or you hate it".

I think the kit looks nice, I wouldn't have chrome rims myself, but it's still a nice ride

Congrats on a great looking Woo man...Not really sure why some would label it rice (I mean it IS an Asian based market car...lol) but the kit works well with it, and looks original. Those are two big bonuses in my book.

As far as negative opinions, I use them to make the car MORE outrageous. I mean, Go Extreme if you want to be original. So let me know if I can help.

Like I was saying before, it's a hot car. I would have gone with more sporty rims, but other than that it is by no means rice.

Still a few weeks away - Christmas/Summernats break owns in Australia.

It's the fab work left now.

Thanks for the comments guys. I'll get photos and videos when she's done!
