Greetings, hope you all are keeping well, just thought id share a few more pictures i took since the last time i posted on here; still dont feel its time to start a build thread until i get some real performance mods, anyway, im currently focusing on boring "mods" and maintanence parts that ive been meaning to do for a while,and held off long enough, ive just changed the ball joints, tie rods, new battery etc. and will ebay a front strut bar soon,man the car feels tight again!


here are some pictures i took recently;

Mini smg in durban gave me an estimate of R2800 to fit and run diagnostics on a 17% pulley and belt. Good price?

Love the wheels,where did you get them from?

Thanks, got them from a friend, I think max motorsport in durban has similar 6 spoke wheels but havnt seen the exact same ones.
