Honda engine - one of the old Vti lumps ... or the 2.2 out of the prelude - would give you an interesting sound especially if you supercharged it :)


O right now im with you haha!!

Interesting would be an understatement, i have an abf from a mk3 gti, which i thought would be a bit alternative on carbs. or i could quite fancy a vr6 motor innit, just something you dont see everyday without needing too much work, not quite as far as a honda motor tho haha

nice motor mate looks like a proper job aswel. you need some cupra side skirts and to change the colour of the cupra alloys to a silver to show of the bmw colour more i think.

I still have the side skirts dunno if they gonna go back on yet!

I hate the wheels in black, urgh but i think i will gloss black them for winter rollers.

i have some porsche 928 wheels polished that will be going on for summer

carbon bonnet, carbon spoiler and carbon mirror covers would look amazing with that car kinda like a evo fq400 theme.

yeah maybe would be expensive just thought it would suit the colour so well and would be different. car will still look good without. what made you go with this colour?
