hey guys thought i should finally put some photos up of my gsr. This is my third baleno but my first 1.8 Smiley. bought the car with 40,000 on the clock about 3 months ago and hasnt missed a beat. It has a cat back stainless exhaust, pipercross viper induction kit, 6k hids. Basically im a university atm so aint got much spare cash so try to do mods myself. i loved the alloys and wanted a fresher look so sprayed them black and got some custom made speedline decals in red to finish them off. lowered the car 40mm on spax springs and added the sideskirts Cheesy. next thing to do is remove the second cat and weld a new tailpiece to the exhaust (bit smaller). tint rear windows and purchase some black dimond break pads. If anyone has removed the 2nd cat can they tell me whether they have had any problems with the engine management ?? id love to purchase some headers but custom job and tooo expensive. tried looking for aerio set but no luck Sad. anyways hope you like Cheesy

I'd get the Tweeks one. I had some bloke chop mine off and weld in a pipe so need a cat for mot now haha. Yeh I noticed it revs alot easier. I think the gains are more noticeable at top end of the revs. I take it your in mold this weekend? Was gonna take a drive to Bangor if you were about. I emailed that bloke about them too! Said I'd just missed out on them lol
