Default My Altezza Gita (sportcross) - now kitted out :-)

Finally got the Altezza on the road again after being off for months while bodykit, wheels and suspension were installed!

Here are a few pics. Its by no means finished, but at least the wheels, kit, and graphics are on! Enjoy!

Styling is a bit on the wild side for my tastes. Everything looks nicely done though

Being a promo car for my company (read "driving billboard") it had to be "loud" :-)

Looks good but I don't care for the graphics. Though since it's a billboard for your company I understand why you did it.

Though I have to agree with Seize on the styling, I def love the fact that its a SportsX. I used to have one and loved it.

Car looks nice. Def a nice billboard. I've always been a fan of wagnons and that one is done right.

Heres the link to the sport cross group on my.is

the car looks great!

did the sport cross come with manuals at all or just e-autos? what years did they come in because they are super rare!

Technically mines not a sportx - its an Altezza Gita AS300 ex Japan. Over here in NZ we have a fair few Gitas around all imported used from Japan. Most are 2L, some are 3L and the very very rare ones are 3L 4WD (like mine). All the 4wd ones came out as Auto only, but I have plans for a manual conversion (however may have to end up RWD only).
