Alex's Mark II

Post by Alex »

when i brought my mark 2 it was stock standard, bar a stupidly loud 3" exhaust from japan,
and a massive diana bodykit ( see for sale section ).
I ditched the kit in favor of standard kit.

I found a second hand set of tein coilovers on tm and snapped em up, as well as a strut brace.
ended up moving towns, and after a few weeks of moving my factory turbo started whining..
I already had some plans of modifying it so this was my chance,

long story short, heres what my car and engine look like now.

please be aware this is a work in progress, eventually will look presentable.. haha

a large snail seems to have made my engine bay its home ;)

oh i have a turbo beanie on it now too.. forgot to take photo.

heres a vid i took of me giving her abit of juice through the tunnel, completely lost traction both attempts
and scared the cars beside me.. fun times

Hmmm about the body kit - if the paint were matched and if you chiuk in a set of 18 inch rims - i reckon it would look neat. although thats from my opinion - you mind if i put it on photoshop?

go for it, it wasn't the look of the kit that put me off, more the scrape EVERYWHERE on EVERYTHING and the car was factory height
