You can tell by the pictures that its not a real GT3 MK1 because it has a sunroof and rear wiper..... saying that it is full GT3 spec!

Its a early 3.4L thats been played with a bit if you know what i mean!!

Ah gotcha. I didn't notice those items from the pic as I was concentrating on your wing and exhaust too much. Regardless, great looking car.

I have the 19s, and no rubbing issues; however, I have a sport coil over system (Yellow DPS Coilover) and the arch of the wheel wells are exactly 25" from the top of the arch to the street. No rubbing issues and no rolling of the fenders. How about another photo or two of your car???

my car is lower a little bit from factory, i forgot the option name but assume about 10mm. Just order a set of KW v3 and will add more negative camber then i should be ok. let see a picture of your car as well please.

Hey FEROZ928 do you have any pics with rims and coilover setup? Are your coilovers on the lowest setting? interested in the same setup. Thanks

The coilover set up I have is the lowest and softest settings No question the ride is much stiffer inspite of the soft setting. I am an old timer who grew up with real sports cars (MGA-Austin Healy-Triumph-Lotus) all from the late 50s and early 60s. For this reason I like a firm setting which allows the driver to feel the road and all my senses are tuned in. This set up measures exactly 25" from the top of the wheel arch to the ground both front and back
