Its completely standard at the moment apart from an exhaust, i plan to do the following:

-Lower it 30mm all round (deciding suspension etc at the moment (any suggestions)
-Smoked rear lights
-Angel eye headlights
-New Grill
-Alloys (maybe Lenso KR5's)
-Induction Kit arriving tommorow (Radair)

The body work is in pretty good condition for its age and it has done 93000 miles.






Cheers

yes - but from the original post it was very easy to take it that Al was thrashing the fcuk out of his motor... and we were genuinely concerned that a lesser experienced driver was not driving is the best way possible and that it might be the cause of the problem...

however... now that we have come to realise that all is well... things are back to normal and that when Al 'floors it in second and it nears the red line' that there is now no stuttering and he is a happy bunny...

as Len said... it probably needed the cobwebs blown out of it... which it sounds like Al would have no trouble doing....  :wink:

Thats a smart looking motor you've got there Al. My wifes is in dragon green and I've just lowered it with a FK suspension kit, 60mm front and 40mm back. Will try and post some pics for you soon.
