hey guys, been on the site a while thought id put picture of my cars up!

First off, had a suzuki swift 1.0 gls which was written off a month or so after i passed my test in 2011, wasnt actually my fault, and the insurance money helped pay for the car after:

didnt do much to it, put a replica type r spoiler on it and some stupid stickers haha. it died after 10,000 miles of my driving, probably cos it was used to motorway driving then it got a mad 17 year old rallying it about haha!

done quite a few things since then but my phones being a pita and wont let me put photos on! will be updated soon as it works again!
cheers for looking
 
small update, getting an MB6 soon as a donor for a B18C4 conversion. anyone used a lightened flywheel and clutch in one of these, thinking of getting these but wondering if they're worth it?
 
I would get the clutch and flywheel mate alot of difference from standard, should buy a set of coilovers aswell will make such differance
 
will see how funds are when the time comes haha, not gonna get coilies here a couple friends of mine have them round my way the roads are so bumpy you cant do much over 50 or car bounces off the road haha, ordered lowering springs and shocks so that should help
