SPEC:
1.4 MPi 4 door
15"x7" OZ tucanos with either 195/50/15 or 195/45/15 but always in V speed rating (preferably bridgestone RE720s)
braided brake lines
standard size brakes (256mm) but drilled and grooved/grooved discs, then a variety of fancy pads from road and sport right up to carbon kevlar pads! (didnt like these for street use because they are horrific when cold and theyre the only pads ive ever set on fire when braking, but I was living in the alps and giving them a LOT of abuse!)
OMP front lower strit brace
Sparco (i think) front upper strut brace (adjustable)
powerflex front suspension bushes
5mm rear spacers (wheels were ET 38)
KW V2 coilovers (constantly played with but unded up using -130mm as my LOW seting and about -70mm for hanleing)
MADAC cat back exhaust ( 1 less silencer than standard)
K&N cone filter with ducting from behind the foglight grill (opened up to ease airflow)
knife-edged butterfly, all the ports opened up a bit in the head and manifolds
"powerbox" piggy back ecu (neccesitating 98 RON fuel)
Reiger bonnet lip
6K xenons
foglights
door rub strips removed
Hella crystal LED rear lights
silver tints (all side and rear initially but then just the rear half)
delocked
debadged rear
color coded handles
mattig debadged grill
aluminium stubby aerial with color coded base
color coded rear wiper then changed to rear aero
various dash trims trimmed in fake carbon fibre
sparco pedals
sparco leather/ally gear knob
shortened gear throw
various different LED light combos incluging speaker lights and footwell lights
W8 dome light (one of the first!)
sunglasses holder
oil pressure and oil temp gauge in 2nd din slot
cup holders (one of the first retroffited to a 6n2)
seatbelt pads (not for looks but i Kept buising my colar bone once I was starting to do stoppies with the fancy brake pads)
Acoustic shelf
[over different times I played with various stereos this bit of the list is when she was at her peak! 143Db)
2x sonly xplod 10" subs (early ones when they had a good reputation)
1x 2 channel 760W xplod amp
uprated front door speakers
hidden 120W amp for the front doors (in the centre console, under the heater controls, in front of the ashtray with the level potentiometer on flying leads poking out next to the carpet)
2x xplod speakers in each rear door (1x10cm and 1x13cm) running off the headunit)
alpine 7894RB headunit (4x60w with 4V preouts and mp3)
2x 6"x9"`s in the rear shelf (unbranded but solid and reliable till I cracked the cone on one and detached the voice coil on the other because the subs were trying to vent out of the boot)
1x xplod 222w amp for the 6x9`s mounted under the rear shelf
DVD player mounted under the rear shelf flush with the rear edge (behind the amp)
screen mounted in glovebox and sound through the headunit on an rf modulator (inputs added for console i.e. when I took the Xbox in her with a mains inverter)
Ally morror adjustors
1" tweeters mounted at the base of the A pillar facing the windscreen to bounce the sound
Door pins with flashing Blue LED
Beeper Zenn pager alarm with remote control of the headlights (very cool way of finding your car in a car park at night *beep* DAYLIGHT!)

I think thats about everything but im sure theres things Ive forgotten.

Is there anyone still on here from the days I used to run rife on here?

I think the ones you mean were actually taken when I lived out in annecy in the fronch alps.
round swindon if your looking for a good shoot then check out lydiard pk and blagrove industrial estate. both good for pics.
