Don't look too bad :)
Get rid of that horrid numberplate on the front also get some good shocks and springs to lower it a little.
Is your misses happy now you have power steering lol
Hopefully in the near distant future a ZLET conversion but will have to see about costs and check my insurance first;)

I've just took that numberplate off mate, i'm not too sure whether to lower it or not i dont want to ruin the practicality of it you see.
Yeah mate she's more than happy . . . She loves it lollollol

Im not too sure yet mate as its a Nova stand isn't it? It'll look a bit daft . . . I may still come up as a spectator but might have to sell on my spot:(
nice keep thinking of fitting the gsi kit to mine insted of all the irmscher kit thats on it , but then i think not , spend on nova insted

Hahaha that was me a few weeks back, it does make a big difference to the looks of the car, but they are expensive to pick up:eek:

Would be OK as theres more Nova's going to be there anyway so one or 2 cars out of the 15 wouldn't make much difference
You've paid up, you might as well come to it :)

I like my G coupe, there good cars out the box, however springs are a big plus point to the drive. I reccomend Eibach springs! I had them and they were great, now got Gaz coilovers though!

Will do mate just looking for someone that knows what there doing as far as the conversion goes to give me a lift with it maybe someone that has an engine crane hopefully:thumb:

No offence fella, but a full zlet conversion for £160 delivered sounds well suspect to me.

Non-taken buddy it does to me but he did offer for me to go pick it up, i've also seen it running . . . and im only paying £20 upfront until i've give the engine a complete look over:thumb:
Are you sure you've not missed a "0" off that price?
(seriously)
