right then, thought it was about time i started one of these bad boys!
a little history first. i've owned the car since november last year, but before that it was my brother's. he got it from my mum about 2 years before. she'd owned it for 3 or 4 years, and she got it from my grandad. he bought it new!
so yeh, i've got a rather good guarantee of history and work done to it! it spent the most of its life getting serviced at a VX main dealer, having all the proper parts fitted etc. once it was owned by my mum, general service and repair was done by my dad, and my brother did it all himself like i do (unless we were incapable, at which point the garage down the road got the work.)
the car is a P reg (96) red arctic duo, one of the special editions. it's almost completely standard, i've done a few very minor things to it, nothing too special though. it's got smoked side repeaters, a SS exhaust system with a small hole in it which makes it sound rather mean at around 3k revs
and its got the rear grab handle lights, which are yet to be wired up!
i did have a ph1 spoiler on it, but i took it off as it looked rather out of place being the only exterior mod i had done! (this is for sale btw if anyone wants it)
i've got a few plans for it at the moment, money restricting, and nothing power wise really cos i'm 18 and insurance is a killer. planning on doing the suspension, this will get lowered a little, 40mm at a max though. possibly brakes as well, would be nice to have a bit more stopping power. also want to get some alloys on it, nothing too stupid again though. probably 15 or 16 inch, maybe standard sport, maybe something else. i quite like the multispoke look.
want to do some work to the engine in the future, give it a bit more oomph.
so yeh, thats my thread. i will get some pictures up this week once i've cleaned the car, as it looks an absolute state at the moment. got to get a T cut on it, as at the mo its flame pink! apart from the right wing which got changed a few years ago, thats my benchmark panel
