A few pictures, albiet not very good ones, of the 316 in better light.

Will update later with a breif spec so far, but for now just some pictures as promised in newbie section. it's got 4 steelies int he boot at present, which is why it has that awful saxo stance.

Nice wheels 8)
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

they're rota drift grids, replicas of volk ve37 (very very rare wheel) rota grids are reps of volk te37, also pretty rare.

She's not for sale i've only just bought it. It's just had the rear SF bushes changed today, just need to stop the leak from the mani (stud missing) and it's road worthy.

It's already dropped on 35mm springs, but they'll be making way for coilovers as soon as funds allow.

Cheers for the kind words! 8)

EDIT

Sure thing Kedge. Soon as it's dropped i'll get you a better picture :thumb:

EDIT 2

come to think of it that can't be dropped at all. i have a reciept for the springs with the car, and they do look pretty new but if thats 35mm lower than standard height i'll eat my hat.
