Swift's CSL Journal

**$w!ft** · 12-08-2013, 11:29 PM

I've been lurking here for a while but just thought I'd start a journal to show where my car stands at the moment and how its going to transform slightly as I plan to continue making a few modifications here and there

I bought the car from someone on these forums back in 2009 and have been enjoying it ever since.
I am a huge fan of carbon fiber and when I bought the car it already had a few carbon pieces extra which always made me want to add more! I do also love the black stealth look and that will begin to show on the car!

***How she sits now***

Smoked DEPO corner Lights w/chrome bulbs

CREE LED reverse lights
35% Tint by Tom @ Autoworx

Car when I bought it with black kidney grills

Interior

The mods will be minimal as the car is already so good out of the box, but I always wanted to fix a few things such as a the brakes and change the exhaust for visual and acoustical impact!

Supersprint lightweight race, removed loads of weight too!

Changed to AP 6pot BBK Setup FR and K Sport 6pot RR with Pagid pads

Few trackdays here and there

At this point the car is near perfect for my use but I am a mod junkie so couldn't resist buying a few more parts this year. Stay tuned...
