Hi all think it's about time I made one of these :P been on here a few month's now, the car's changed alot since being on this forum but it's a slow progress :sad1:
This is the car when I first got it, standard apart from the wheel colour :stupid:

First mod was tinting the fogs

Then I changed the wheel colour as I hated the red stripe, Also added a set of pressed plates & wind deflectors :P

I left the car for a few weeks but the ride height was bugging me so I purchased a set of Eibach springs

Had a nightmare fitting them I'm a mechanic so I have access to the ramps, tools etc but the problem was the top mounts the bolt's just started spinning & I couldent hold the bottom of the bolt because the spring was in the way :mad: I got it sorted in the end though
Also had a go with the body work mopped the whole car & then applied some hd wax :)

Next mod was the autotech induction kit I liked the sound but It did make some weird noises on boost, The same day I also replaced the diverter valve with rev G
