looks like a gd base

wot are urplans?

 

[sickpupppy]

not too sure at the minute, sorted the exhaust with a nice remus back box from a menber in chester (long drive but worth it).
looking to work on the air intake next i think, it suffers from a nasty case of big round frying pan intake dissorder so i am looking to change that for some type of remote filter affair, ive seen a couple attempts from other members and its given me a few ideas, i just have to somehow pry them from my head and into the engine bay lol.
also looking at the wheels i have just bought some dark green gloss spray for the centers, and some silver for the rims, however i aint got round to refitting the steels so i can work on them as yet, hopefully this weekend should give me the time to do it, providing my daughters say i can (fellow dads out there will know where i am comming from).

other than that i am open to suggestions, possibly a small drop on the shocks, however our speed humps are savage locally so may not be a wise idea, or even a body kit of some description.
also toying with the idea of tranplanting a 2 litre 8valve into it, although it is probably just a dream lol.

looking good mate but ur best ordering a k&n or pipercross you can order 1 that is a match for your car their usually about 90ish for 1 tho

lol if the speed bumps are dirty big them ur better off going 4 coilovers cuz then u can go as low as possibly for ur area lol if that makes sence!!.....and they look mint B)

 

[sickpupppy]

yeah coilovers seem to be a major option for her (lola, named by my eldest daughter).
few other little jobs to complete first (like getting the heater going). new cam belt and water pump urgently required.
however one day she shall look as good as she feels to drive (grin)
