Description
I was looking for a new car after I came into a little cash, I'd seen a gen 2 about two weeks before this and thought that's a lovely looking motor but theres no way I could ever afford one.
So searched a few out just to convince myself and was really surprised at how affordable they were. So looked around a bit harder pulled the belt in a bit and went for it. Had no plans for any modifications then found this site!.
I've never even touched a car engine before but before long I was ripping bits off and sticking bits on and im still at it six months later. loved the coupe for looks (looks far more expensive than it is, lovely swoopy lines etc), cost (not a lot) and the relative exclusivety (not many about) also it goes fast and handles (thats a bonus). bad points none! (I know the badge puts some people off, but I've never been a badge snob so no worries there.)
