im not so sure if i want to put the 60 mm shocks n springs on her as they are soooo stiff granted they stick to the road like shite to a matress but i havea bad back as it is and speed bumps make my back jolt lol

im contemplating puting an rs rear spoiler on it rs archs n skirts and possibly the 90 spec cut out off the silver 1 oh and the bonnet to

but that all depends on when i get time to get them painted the right colour lol

so hopefully if all goes well today (job interveiw) i can have a bit more money in my pocket to get things done properly to this

also looking into some underbonnet bling :P ill get some more pics of her later

silver 1 is 90 percent striped so make us an offer as long as its moe than the suspension cost then its yours still has 88 spec rs buckets in and rollin on original 3i rims

back on topic its having a 90 spec rs spoiler no matter what people say lol

possibly have the 90 spec front bumper to with the rs side skirts and bonnet not far away and due to this being a mint shell i will eventually drop a turbo lump in there so will be looking for some 90 spec rs reacaros around that time to

the bump strips have black tape over them for the min untill i get some money to get new strips or whatever i decide to do with it

ive got some clear side repeators on there now just looking for clear front inds and the red + smoked rear lights pm me if any 1 has some?

cheers for the comments i plan on making a few little alterations to this with bits that i have as spares ect as some bits are a bit messy inside

any requests for pics of any thing specific that ya wanna see then ask i love taking pics may go and get some of the engine in a bit

fukin hell who u insured with no ow would touch me on a 3i till i was 20

yer go down the sleeper route because is never gonna be a genuine rs turbo and when pople start getting whipped by an xr they'll have a proper shock

def 90's spec it its a G u'll get away with that although it dose look good as an 88
