i was thinking about just using this to learn in then getting something a bit rougher to mess around with n do what i want to it ect

@takot, this is only pic I've got of it:

excuse the dirt.

I hope that 'excuse the dirt' was meant jokingly; that bay is spotless!

Great example of a mk2f : )

nooo lol

thats well dirty, i would say you should see it now but its even worse haha, going to attack with the paint renovator and everything else when the snow has gone

UPDATE YO!

found an allpine headunit in the back of my garage, so decide to rip the old one out and whack this one in :)

now i need new speakers, some tweakers, a sub and an amp :)

any recommend any speakers, subs, amps and tweakers??

Yea who needs rear seats try this =P depends what sort of sound your after, you could always go for a simple set up, decent amp run a sub a pair of 6x9's some new tweaters and get some components in the doors job done or go OTT all up to you what your listening to and how loud you want to be, just make sure with any audio set up you get your self an equaliser to tune it how you want it! (excuse any spelling mistakes =P)

I figured with mine only been a 1ltr with 43bhp as new there was no way i was going anywhere fast so i opted for the sounding good while i was barly moving! its all personel pref really, you have you self a tidy model there though =) love it, thought mine was low milage at the 70k mark ha! i havnt started on the mods on mine yet minus the obv seats and audio, i did have a 10 inch stearing wheel but it was impossible to park!

Oh ignore tha mats there awful and gone...

nice clean car that ...should last years if taken care off

people say overpriced but its near new isnt it ...see some of the shonky tat people ask 8-900 for on here that looks fit to scrap

lush car dude! keep it simple,don´t treat it bad ;)

the headunit is great. i´m in love with your engine bay.... extremly tidy...i wish mine would look at least similar to yours.

cheers guys, might sell it soon, might get it up to 20,000 n get rid of it, dont want to be putting the milage up to much, plus i wanna some modding but not on this car, no way

i'd keep it mate lower it on sum nice clean wheels and leave it at that make a sweet as show car with it been so clean and with the simple mods you could change it back when you wanted to sell it

well done man! :)

just be careful ahaha,

also, lovely looking car!

Congratz on passing your test and tbh mate I'd keep hold of the car you got. It's a perfect starting point for modding imo as it's nearly brand new, no bodywork issues to worry about and low mileage :).

mate i hate your guts i really really love them wheels the car is looking well smart now fella needs a little bit lower on back so it still has rake but theres not as much arch gap but other than that mate i love it

  • Author

cheers mate! yeah I'm gunna get it down at the back this weekend hopefully, and getting a qoute on a re spray to get the bonnet ad few lil dents sorted

Awesome man. Neeeeeds de-bumpstripping an it'll be top :thumbsup: Maybe some G40 rear lights aswell...

  • Author

g40s shall be on order next month and I'm going to leave my bumpstrips on, i dont want to but i have to

a. my drive is a bit tight and i hit the fence all the time so they stop it :lol:

b. my 'mates' hate my car and always open there door quite hard into it, but tbh i jus laugh at them cause they get a dent in their door and mine stays fine :)

but, hanging around with a new group of people now so I'm gunna see how these re act to the car then they shall come off

liking the car man, have you got any idea what offset your wheels are? what ET number?

Also i hope your not thinking about selling this.

Removing the bumpstrips will leave you more clearance so going past a fence will be easier anyway ;)

As if your mates do that! I would've lumped them had they done it to my car. Are they the sort of lot which think your car is gay unless its new?
