Very nice !
Bought mine from Miguel also, waiting on the car hitting the shores and various parts being fitted by Gareth @ Newera also. Is that an AD9 bonnet ?
Really like the sleek headlight kit.
How about adding a carbon prop shaft to that list ? :)
Great pictures. The car looks stunning! :god
How many miles did you drive back home to Sweeden?
Martin.
For once, pictures that do a car justice! Looks like Miguel has got you hooked and has you pointed in the right direction regarding future parts :)
Thanks guys! I really like how it turned out.
Devil\'s refugee: I have been thinking about it aswell but it\'s not prio one! I am all after response so why not.. :P
Kermit: Don\'t know in miles. But aprox 150km\'s
chrisBoid. He certainly has. Was VERY impressed with his car and he has just the things I wanted with my FD before I bought it, Good response and GREAT handling.. Im not too into HP as I enjoy a car that answers to what you tell it to do rather than just burning rubber. :P I think Ill stick to standard turbos, maybe changing to 99spec or newer if I have to change.
Devil\'s Refugee: Yes it is an AD9 Hood. Super quality, sits really flush and very rigid!
Great pics!! But you need to get your TE37 on to make it better me think..
Lovely car, I\'d be looking to move that plate out of the grill though, unless it folds up? I couldn\'t tell from the pics. :D
The TE37\'s will go on till next season, with new tires..
Regarding the plate, it is a RE-A folding one. :D Will Fix it when I get the Swedish plates.
Once again, im happy you like it!
Regards, Daniel
haha we\'re not the important ones :)
I can\'t see how anyone is more important than the other.. It\'s all up to everyones different taste. If someone with 5k posts and a nice car doesn\'t like it. It matters just as much as if someone who doesn\'t even know what car it is hates it.
I don\'t fancy every car in here. but there are quite a few VERY nice looking. Hope mine will evolve some over the years. :2Rolleyes
Sorry I think that got lost somewhere, I meant you liking it the most is the important factor, the fact we like it doesn\'t really matter :)
Like my conclusion.. but a bit shorter.. :P
I got you now.. hehehe
Now that is unlike Miguel to drive on the C1... NOT!
Love white Fds and the second shot looks really cool.
Once that list is complete, It will definately be an awesome machine.
Enjoy the Journey.
Russ.
