hi everybody,

thought I would start a build thread so here it is Smile Picked this car up for the decent sum of £500 back in April 2014 with 12 months MOT, brand new tyres, front calipers, discs and pads and only 58k on the clock.
Here's what looked like when we picked her up

Ill just carry on with some pics of what she looks like now and a list of mods Smile

MOD's so far include:
-BC racing suspension
-Whiteline racing front strut brace, rear strut brace and rear anti roll bar
-Honda accord sport 17" alloys +15mm spacers (with federal 595 RSR tyres soon to go on)
-Mazdaspeed side skirts and aftermarket rear spats
-induction kit
-painted rocker covers and other bits
-full powerflow stainless exhaust system with headers and de-cat
-touring car style single wiper conversion kit
-aftermarket bucket seats + stripped out rear
-deep dish steering wheel with sparco snap off boss kit
-bonnet pins
-front canards
-various painted bits
-etc etc

Anyway thats how she sits now, spoiler will be back on shortly after a fresh coat of paint. Bring on the track season! :tongue_smilie:

Nice, always liked the Honda penta wheels. I've been tempted to get a set for myself on a few occasions.

hello mate Big Grin nice nice motaWink

"UNDERSTEER" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"OVERSTEER" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"HORSEPOWER" is how fast you hit the fence.
"TORQUE" is how far you take the fence with you:biggrin:
