I posted a project thread before but it was very short. I was going to do a full thread, but to be honest the time involved to go through what I've done is too daunting to begin with. So I thought I'd post a better list of what's done and some pics of the latest mods/upgrades. In short car is immaculately maintained, fully serviced and gets half service oil changes. Hand washed and detailed. It took me a long time to get the car with the right spec I was after and since then I've been upgrading both for style and performance and now I think its definitely one of the best around at least in Ireland.
