Having not been on here for 12 months a lot has happened in my life and I've sadly downgraded from the Evo X to a Diesel ASX Confusedhock: all because my wife was pregnant and now we have a daughter. seeing as she was going part time I needed to reduce some payments somewhere (unfortunately the evo bit the dust).

Anyway every cloud has a silver lining as as the wife is now using the ASX I now run around in her little colt 1.1 Confusedhock:. It seems that I have gone from a beast of a car to something that couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding. However as I am now getting very annoyed with it I am going to mod it within a reasonable budget, most mods I will try and carry out myself.

for starters I managed to get some alloys off eBay so the wheel trims have gone, and I have a spoiler on the way. Hopefully the list of mods will cover things to neaten the image of it currently, like painting all the black bumper bits, new stereo, lowered, etc. I'm not intending on modifying the engine at all as I want to keep the cheap running costs (that and the fact that I would be better off just buying a CZT).

I'll keep you guys posted on the progress and hopefully I won't end up with something that looks too stupid.

...You never know I might even get around to doing something like this

Here is how it looks now
