i dnt wan sound lik a fool but jus gota new car n its a 2000 lanos sx in green. lololol yea y green. nways its auto aswell.
nways knowin lanos r rare in uk i deciced 2 PIMP mine up.

heres the list of things ill like 2do but aint sure how or even if it could be done n how much it would cost n if they are worth doin 2 a daewoo.

change front speakers 5` aj sound 600 watts done
fix Rage® Exhaust Brushed Steel [BS-X2] bought but dont know how to fix
fix induction kit or just filter: dont know which to buy
get amp to power 2 x 1000watts kenwood sub and probably 1 to power the rear and door speakers if needed
my aerial makes an irritantin buzzin noise when the headunit is turned on so i might change them if it cnt b fixd.
change front disc brakes and pads
get eitha 17/18 or 19 chrome rimz. i saw two 19's that fit but £1500 is alot
new shocks and lowering kit.. dont know which is the best brand
change oil filter, new head gasket and stainless steel manifold....was told with this ill get betta performance
new alarm system. just fitted the central locking. which wasnt easy
tintz
mesh front bumper and replace foglight and new grill
fix m3 mirror
fix ripspeed dvd monitor player......could i get away with the cheap ebay version or do i strictly go with known brands
install console. likely my ps2 slimline
replace handbrake with chrome
replace old matz
leather retrim and door card and dash respray in silver
fix decals and graphics this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DOLPHIN-VINYL-DEC ... dZViewItem or http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DRAGON-VINYL-DECA ... dZViewItem

replace front seats with leather http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-GTB-LEATHER-L ... p1638.m118

vertical lambo doors..

and thats about it, but my problem is which of this could actually be done by me n which should b strictly left to the professionalz, although i wan save on labour fees. and ive been told this would be a waste to be done on a daewoo. is it?

i just need as much advice from true lovers of lanos unlike my friends.

thanks

If your decent at welding you can make the exhaust fit :b
Not sure about the induction kit
Unplug them erar components and get a set of 6x9s lol
I think Vauxhall Astra disks and Pads might fit yours [mk2/kadett E] replacement disks and pads for a lanos arent hard to come by anyway
If you're going for 19" wheels you'd be best going for coilovers, not just a set of lowering springs and stiff shocks. 19 wheels can put stress on a lotta stuff though, bearings and actually the bulkhead too..
Not sure how changing an oil filter gives ya better performance but it definatly can't do no harm. 4 branch sounds good
tint :smt023
Mesh bumper? :/
Lots of chrome bits and stickers :/ not my thing but to each their own
Seats look nice, not sure about the silver though
Lambo doors, not sure about that lol


Nothings a waste to be done to any car if your hearts in it like. But, i'm not sure why your worried about getting more performance if you're adding all that weight to the car :shock:

But, keep up the work anyway, should be interesting when it's finished

'This provides for optimal damping without torsional loads. Some coilovers are adjustable for ride height and hardness as well using a simple threaded spring perch similar to a nut.'

Coilovers are pretty much fully adjustable. They can be set rock hard so you have pretty much no travel in the shocks, rough ride, but your wheels won't rub. And you cans et the height too.

Struts are what hold shocks/springs/disks. Shocks are something similar to the coilovers only most arent adjustable, and you cant set the ridfe height with them. YOu can get some that are shortened and some that you can adjust the damping but, you'd be best going for coilovers
