    A new addition to the Driveway :D

    I *fingers crossed* will be picking this up this weekend!

    that is pretty bad ass
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    I don't know much about modding cars, but that looks like a bargain! I actually quite liked the walnut dash, but it looks out of place there with all the black plastic, so would agree with replacing it. Any point putting the gear shift sticker on the centre console, or is it just in case you forget where reverse is? Of course, don't forget 6th gear isn't there any more! (Unless what looks like an 'R' is actually a '6'; can't quite make it out)

    Thanks Yeah it is pretty bargain-tastic, usually for that sort of spec its £3.5-£4k but its a quick sale the current owner needs it gone this weekend!

    Yep it is
    Most of them are black, and that looks fine, the walnut looks out of place on all of them! I don't get why someone thought they went together?!

    No idea about the gear stickers, its on all of them! Nah its only a 5 speed box! That is one of my concerns with the Ford being a 6 speed!

    Nope . . . .

    Don't just look at the power, but its running uprated brakes, and on tein coilovers . . .

    If I broke it for parts I would make ALOT more than I paid for it . . .


    (Go lower . . .)
