Ok finally time to re-edit the thread. Ill add some new pictures soon!

Ive had the car for just under a year now and it has really had its ups and downs.... but its safe to say its now running and SORT OF looking how i want it....

Can a mod please change the heading for me to "Swifty's Slammed S-pac"?

Can you people please ask what you want to see on the car because i have no idea what to take pictures of haha....

- New copper core radiator
- Twin throttle body

[EXHAUST]
- 2.5 inch from the cat back mandrel bent
- Pacemaker extractors
- Hi-flow cat
- New gaskets and welds throughout (this was done because the exhaust place recommended i weld the joints because of the problems i get because of how low the car is)

- Tail shaft fully rebuilt
- New wheel bearings up front
- Heavy duty clutch

- Power steering pump and rack done not long ago
- HID head lights and controller boxes
- 17" SS rims with new rubber Now have 20s
- Made a nice sticker that i put on my rear window in old english "Built with spanners not chopsticks" | it gets mixed reactions
- HID ballast headlight kit
- That silly, over-priced crank adapter needed to put an auto engine in a manual car

Nice looking VN, but what makes you think its an S pac as I don't think it is for a few reasons, the side door mold is wrong for a start.

Yea it was auto. I got that brown vn before i got my P's and registered it after i got my P's. It was the first auto i actually drove, so i really missed manual.

Car is now sitting here with NO engine.

[Dum*P*ster]

Why?

old engine dead?

[swiftymcfeat]

The engine taht was in there is close to dieing, was making bad noises, and i wanted to swap to the neat engine out of my old VN.
I removed both engines and took the car to the mechanic only to find out the Serious 1 autos cant be put on a manual because they have a different crankshaft.

Oh joy!
Just waiting to buy ANOTHER engine now.
