New exhaust fitted, was tierd of the drone driving down the motorway or even doing 30, so custom made an new exhaust out of a standard exhaust for the the flange and the pipe to the scilencer, a peco back box that i had on previously with a 3" Chrome tip and a piece of exhaust tubeing! Painted black for a nice finish! i think it looks good personaly and it still makes a nice noise under acceleration

You cant have them i like them too much
UPDATE: windows tinted
there not perfect but at mates rates for £40 for the back 3 and the front 2 windows im not one to complain!
They make the car look much better in my opinion
Also de-bumpstriped the car, sadly i reveled multiple colour changes in the paint so im getting a black sticker made to go where the bumpstrips where and going to order some nismo stickers of ebay to stick on it too
Opinions?

, Only thing with the steering wheel having driven it today for a bit, is i cant reach the indicator stalk with my hand on the wheel anymore as the dish is taking it away from them (apparently thats why the rally cars have dished wheels on them)
its a tad bit wierd at the moment to use but im sure ill get used to it in a few days
Nice (Y) If I had that wheel it would be touching my face! as i have a quick release boss which puts my wheel to about the same position as a dished one! I know what you mean about the indicators, takes a bit of getting use to!
OP

Haha, i wanted to get a quick release boss aswell but the it would be on my face lol, ill just have to live without! but there so cool
OP

Cheers mate, my dad keeps telling me to get a mans car now thats rwd or came with a turbo as i keep talking about turboing it or puting a 1.6 in iit in the future after useing the search and seeing that the ga16 mounts on the cg gearbox, but i dont think i could let the car go, its such fun to drive even though its only a 1L it handles so well! puts a smile on my face
but im glad most people like it anyway (Y)

Hi adam, nice name (Y) haha
errrm to do the block i basicly just masked off everything i didnt want to spray, left the rocker cover on and sprayed it carefully with very high temp paint, it was fairly simple and cheap to do but made it look so much better.

-Update-
Not been on here for a while, done a few things to the car over the last few months, finaly got round to getting a full system on the car with a janspeed manifold
Also had a go at putting a 1.6 throttle body on it, had a few problems with the holes that apear after taking the idle control sensor off, we made a blanking plate for it but when we sealed it and turned the engine on it sucked all the sealent out. so we re-sealed it and left it over night.
its now running but having a few idle problems, will be fixed shortly.
Next plans are a 1.3 engine and uprated shocks then il get round to doing a few track days
