My Mums partner scored me this mark II for my 21st!! :) he got it off his dad who has owned and garaged it for the last 20 years, has a 1.8 1s u, 4 speed manual w55 box, 175XXX, completely stock. This is also my first car that I want to put money into/first rwd manual car.

Found some local DTM oldschool's with nuts and 25mm spacers for a pretty good price, near perfect, quite a typical wheel to chuck on but I couldn't resist! also gave it a good wash, cut and polish, seat covers (seats were covered in human slime).

Hopefully going to sort some d2 adjusties soon, need to save. Once thats done I feel like having a look into a beams conversion.

any help would be much appreciated haha

Painting the rocker cover and trying to degrease some of the engine. Need to get rid of that ugly airbox asap. Looking into ramflo and k&n filters, also want to get a twin tip put in for fun.

Because it is a 1s instead of a 1g looks like il have to get custom coils made up, and shocks are screwed so need new shocks all round. fun fun. got new tires fitted today, 195/60/15, fills the gap a bit more with a rather large sidewall, looks slightly shit but will save $ on petrol. new coils and shocks next weeeek :)
