Mine smile


A brief bit of spec...
FM Turbo, built engine, Link ECU, HKS Coilovers, Wilwood brakes... the list is huge, but ultimately... 280bhp - 260ft.lb. Makes for a very interesting drive biggrin

A likely story wink

Model, car and bike enthusiast, seemingly lovely personality, the ticks had to stop somewhere. Good on you Lexi thumbup

Thanks guys, more aptly:



To be honest I bought it in spite of the colour and never really liked it much.

Mega self indulgent picture post alert!

Not had any recent photos of my car, was passing the park this evening and had the camera sat on the pax seat so popped in. Car was a bit dirty so the paints not looking quite as zingy as it does sometimes, and its only a basic camera, but they look nice enough. Still really need to get some decent action pics of this car! Been doing lots of tinkering recently, favourite recent thing is my Team Voodoo Solid Alu Gear knob - it was expensive, but sooo worth it, and its weight and feel makes the shift even better than standard.

I love my Roadster biggrin

Lovely set, Snotrag smile

Just back from a late evening run myself. Roof down, windows down, radio off, empty country roads = bliss.

Picked this up Sunday, but barely had 5 minutes with it due to a busy weekend and Monday. J plate 1.6, 102,000 mile, has had some repair work on sills and arches. Hood is in good nick, and interior is good. Drives very well ,nearly new Toyo Proxy's all round. My old man couldn't believe how tight it felt and how everything works! Cambelt at 80k, so that should be fine. Needs an oil/ filter change. Am I best to change the gearbox and diff oil too? What grades are best?

Lovely Pics
Every time I see that car I just think it looks fantastic, any chance you could list a full spec of whats been done to it? Also where did you get that front bumper, is it part of a bodykit?
