    Hi All! :d

    New poster! (less than 10 posts)

    Well after a debacle over finding out how to join full time, ive just joined the club as a paid up member...never thought id be on here but at FCS 07 rtoc nat day i liked how the club looked and was organised. At the time i had my blue 106 xsi which i worshipped and at first didnt really feel much about the 5's.

    October 08 and after too much crap with the 106 replacing this and that i fancied a change and when my bro offered me his 5 (as hes brought alex's) i thought why not 3300 pound later ...two words....unfooking believeable is what i now think of these little pocket rockets in general after driving it for the first time in november.

    Heres a few piccys and the spec/new parts from what i can remember along with some new alloys/tyres i treated her to:

    Spec: GT2056 roller bearing turbo
    Side exit exhaust
    screamer pipe (the fun part)
    reconditioned/rebuilt head
    twin core intercooler
    alloy boost pipes to alloy carb top
    new water pump
    new belts
    new oil filter/ turbo oil filter
    Racespec aluminium radiator
    lowered on koni coil overs
    yellow fogs/headlights
    Speedline Compomotive II's
    4x Yoko s-drive's - although dont really think much of these in the wet
    have also fitted clear indicators as i dont like the orange ones






    and this was my old 106 for those that may have seen it before:


    will get some more pics up soon
