Right, picked my vxr up from the stealers about two weeks ago now, its a tad older than i wanted buuuuuuuutttt . . 1 owner and 23k on the clocks swayed me swayed me!
picture i took about five minutes after putting the deposit down, i had to wait about two weeks for the car because of all the bank holidays . . about two days after getting the car a box arrived for me . .
containing my dap springs! gave me something to do on sunday
front shocks coming off
never use spring compressors, made it take about 5x as long as it should have!
rears took ten minutes though!
the car was then left for a week while i had my wheels done!

met up with my mate for some pictures

Enjoy and plenty more coming . . . I have a milltek sports cat sitting at home, but i may return it and px for a piper or scorpion full system, just no idea at the moment.
Id also like to apologise for the crap number plate blanking, looks like a retard did it on paint . . well it was done on paint . . and i am sure some people would dispute the retard bit so not far off 
cheers for looking

just make sure the shock is not facing at your car when not using spring compressors 
to be honest, they cost me £15, but i couldnt use them again. They were such agro.
Oh and the nut has been threaded to fuck

I have those same compressors Didn't find them that bad to use tbh and I've used them 3 times from memory. I'd rather have used them that fired a top mount across the street

Cheers for all the comments everyone!
Ben- I had to wait a while for the springs as they were re powdercoated. They are a new batch or something I was told by Courtenay.
Gareth T- I am doing my diffuser, fogs and rocker cover the same colour as the wheels as well as taking the massive chrome griffin off the boot. But I know what you mean at the moment it looks a bit thrown together
