    White NA from France.

    I sold my track car this summer to get a funny roadster! I am really happy to found this used car in really good conditions. All services are known, only two previous owner.

    I baught it in Germany (I am French), the car has 122000km and was produced in April 1993.

    The car will stay stock, through the time I will change all what needs...

    Next step is timing belt, oil & oil filter, cooling hoses change.





























    The new parts for the HUGE spring service:




















    In January i will add new tyres on the original wheels and sell the 15" (in red).


    In the future I will put some MKII brakes.

    Hi! Still waiting for selling the Artec wheels (grey and red painting). So I put the summer wheels of my daily driver. They come from a nice FR machine well known in Europe. The Renault Clio 16 valve (1.8L 138hp).

    I also installed the jass performance licence plate mounting bracket.

    The OEM wheels have been sent for paint job, the colour will be the original one.

    I prefer by far the 14x6,5 +16,5. As soon as I can swap with any body, I will.
