Default Andy's ek build

Hi I'm Andy, Im from Northern Ireland and this is my ek!

here is my progress so far-

Bought the car bone stock like this, took me 8 months to find a mint on e this colour!




Fitted my enkei RP02's in 15x8


Next up i fitted 60/40 springs, an sir grill and a konig axle back






Got a set of slip streams and made my own sir rep lip out of a 5th gen lude vti lip lol


Ended up selling the rota's and went back to enkei's (best choice imo)


Got some interior goodies, skunk2 **** and my bargain momo wheel! £24 bnib


Saved like hell for a while so i could afford to do what i wanted to her. Woke up one morning and decided to spend it! bought a facelift front end, nice set of coilovers and evo 4 recaro's and built my own rails.









Thats how she sits atm, im currently building a motor for her which should see a nice start to 2011

c+cwelcome
