95 GPX Manual

Picked her up this morning, Manual GPX, strut braces, illuminated sills, 17's, HOOGE exhaust, Yokohama's, upgraded audio (Japanese!) rear wiper.

More details and pics to follow. Concentrating on getting it taxed and NCT'd for the moment!

Very nice Colm - you really can't beat a manual Mivec for a bit of fun in an FTO. You certainly didn't hang about getting back into an FTO.

Any future plans for it?

The Saab was signed sealed and nearly delivered, I flew over for a party and did the deal and booked the flight to come back for it. in the meantime it started giving the owner trouble - he was 100% about it, I decided I'd stick with what I knew and started looking out for a suitable FTO.
I was unbelievably close to having it, I even have classic insurance set up on the Saab as well - which I now need to cancel.

Future planned mods include HID's, uprated clutch, and possibly lowered suspension - would have to be more forgiving than the setup on my last one though.
Not going to go nuts on it, I like the general look of it at the moment, I might freshen it up with dark MX5 repeaters and tint the rear indicators red. I have a Sony D-Mask stereo that's going in soon, but this one is gonna be a lot more normal looking than the last one - and more performance than looks oriented.
