the fun started from there,it was an awesome car FSH 86k on the clock an he just put it in for a full service costing him £500!!
on the drive home was a on the phone to the boys an coilovers were on order an she went down.
until i found out there is a bit fat donut weight on the drivers side drive shaft an it stoped me turning left so she went up alittle. i no its bad i was told coilovers only go one way DOWN.after that wheels got painted black as they got curbed to death by the 1st owner. soo got bored of black do they went purple instead

new wheels got added a while after that i picked up at a good price just to help it along a little, aswell as revo sorting a stage 1 map on it!

needed a little wider in my life even on 20mm spacers still not the look i wanted. managed to get a set of rota slipstreems in 8j was more than hard work at a good price,THS hooked me up with an intercooler through revo.i built my pipe work an other bits i needed at the time an the good guys at revo sorted a turbo back system from miltek with a 100cell

Links under the picture 'My Dark Chilpra' Dude, you've done wonders with that. Looks sooo much better than standard! How are you finding the Cone filter sat so low?

were all good again everything is back working an all the heating aswell. better than having it fitted under my dash etc or if cut out an fitted with out changing the double din you have to take the A/C fuse out as it runs all the time!
