Lude Generation

Thought id start a progress blog as I've got big plans for my Lude to bring it up to date and transform it from a show car to a car i can use at track days etc

Here is a picture of it as it was when i first bought it about 8 years ago, not everyone's cup of tea but i love it.



First part of the transformation, this weekend I've taken off the old Tein basic dampers





and replaced them with some shiney brand new superstreets



Other plans i have are:

Lots of weight loss
Turbo build
Change of body styling and colour
Do something with the wheels (new or return and colour change, undecided)
Uprated brakes
more uprated suspension parts

Can it clear matchsticks without fouling the front bumper?

lol, just about! the first picture is when it was on hydraulics but they are long gone.

just need an autobots emblem.lol not too my taste but looks like the work has been done to a good standard

lol yeah its a bit ott to be fair, im looking to change the styling a bit but it will still be pretty extreme, using the same kit but smoothing some lines etc and probably a single colour. The body work has been done very well, it was type k stylings demo car (now xquisite).

well you had the right tools for what you were doing hammer and beer

yeah, problem i found was i couldn't take it for a test drive after

That sure is some extreme styling.
Looks very well done though, as you say!

It definitely makes a change to see one of these builds on here. Normally the extreme bodykit build ludes are never by people on the lude forums?

yeah, that's why i can't decide what to do with the wheels, do i space them out or do i spend a load of money and get new wheels with a different offset?

As you know man, I love pinky!!

I think you should get wheels with a better offset to suit the arches. Spacers are good, but the size you'd need will be pushing it really.
