as u can see she needs work done to her

Everythings standard appart from a elite custom exhaust, viper carbon cold air feed, amped 6x9's and uprated front door speakers. i have nitrogen filled tyres too. next mod is suspension and wheels!!

Yes it is a 6gen and right hand drive, nice! Power folding mirros, double nice.

It looks like a good start for a project. But what do you mean by nitro filled tires?

good question. Im not 100% sure, but lighter does mean faster.

yeah nitrogen filled tyres. ment to improve tyre life, handiling and fuel economy but ive litrally just had it done so will see how it goes but i was told its lighter (than air??? - lol) and you dont get condensation in your tyres and at £1 a corner im happy. the cars a long way off from finished and looks terrible compaired to some of the cars on here but we have to start somewhere i guess. as im in uk and allot of people here are in america ect you guys get the better parts so i may be asking for good company names ect at a later date so i can ship parts for myself to uk!

Nitrogen filled tires lol. That's some nascar type of s**t. They've tested something like this on mythbusters, they filled footballs up with nitrogen instead of air but there wasn't any NOTICEBLE improvement after all. Every little bit helps I guess...
