    There are a few things on the car that need fixing. I like the rims but the previous owner obviously drove it to close to a curb and scratched the right hand side ones abit. Also it needs a respray and the small dent in the rear left quater panel.

    Im currently looking at replacing the back lights and center light thing. Also replacing the inside with the capric dash with the wood grain as well as the door panels.

    Ah and recarpet the car.

    Its good to see some of you guys commenting my car. Like most of you guys, i have looked at your cars and they are just pure sex.

    Yeppers. I looked on ebay about 5 nano seconds after i read that. I was pretty ****ed off when i saw your thread. As you got your car for 6k and i got mine for 5k and i have 250k on the clock

    But problems all aside. I love my car

    Personally i would stick with the motor you have now, and just ad in the super charger as you said before... I like different, and the blowers are still not what i would class as main stream gear... Turbos have been done to death as well.

    Im just thinking because the engine has done 250K+. it would be better to go with a bigger, newer, less km etc. Well thats what i think anyway. But then again. I dont have deep pockets.
