Grey from the UK
 
Thought I might as well start a thread, will be pretty empty seen as I change my mind a lot with different set ups etc, but it could be fun to document my progress right?

A few people seem to list their previous cars, not that any of mine were sold in the US to my knowledge? Though one of them has a lot of GM stuff on it.

Here's the two I'd consider worthy of putting in such a thread (i.e. the ones I actually modified).

Ford Fiesta Zetec S.

Haven't got too many pictures of it anymore, but here it is in 'sleeper' mode:

Was all fairly normal until you opened the bonnet (hood).

Race Tech dash2.

Only 170bhp, but it was stripped out and I revved like crazy. Not going to set any records but it sounded great and was a good little car.

Vauxhall Astra VXR Nurburgring edition. Like a normal one, but came with ATS wheels, a full remus exhaust and unique paint job (plus daft chequers down the middle).

https://scontent-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hp...df&oe=5551D96B

Was mapped and intercooler'd to 300bhp and 350 ft/lbs of torque. Very uncouth to drive with torque steer and the like, but was pretty quick! Plus banging on every gear change was especially pleasant.

And finally, here's my GT the day I picked her up, twas a good day!

It's had a small smattering of mods so far, nothing earth shattering.

Also got Tein springs and a milltek de cat pipe. Next on the list is some wheels and coilovers, just gotta go about deciding which.

Cheers!
