Picked this up on Thursday, very pleased with it and love the way it drives compared to my previous Mk2.
Two totally different cars but I like this one... a lot...!   s8) 8) s8)  


No fancy pictures as its getting dark but these will do for now.

That's something I totally overlooked. How does Gary Numan sound in it....? Will report back tomorrow. "Down in the park" with the roof down....   s:D :D s:D  
I have been considering a Mk3 for a while now so it was time for a change.


Now I get it people of the ROC. Now I see what all the fuss is about!!!   s8) 8) s8)

I could tell you.. but then mine will sound a little different due to the subs and amps I have behind the seats. My Shadow In Vain sounds superb in mine (Live White Noise version)

Always liked the Mk2 but never got around to owning one   s:( :( s:(  

Your car and photos look great v-c (MR-S - yay!). Are you sticking with it or going to be tempted down the modding route? There's plenty around on the forums, but the pre-lift responds particularly well to some additional chassis bracing.

I'm 22 and half deaf due to the loud music  s:P :P s:P

Nice car VC, like the pics and the kit. My bro has a MK2 tubby and he def took a liking to my MR-S when I got it. He's getting to the time when he's wanting a bit more space though so probably going down an alternative route away from our favourtie little midship.

Welcome to another mk2 owner who has seen the light - soon us mk3 lot will have total world domination..   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  

Hmm nice pics - looking moody in that evening light - I've always like the trd stage 1 kit, just subtle enough to enhance without being ott imo.
