repair? 5k will get you a fresh rebuilt one, i know of a tuner selling a black fresh rebuilt with a 24k mile or 2 year engine warrentee for 5k! so if ANYTHING goes wrong with the engine you get a free rebuild! fuel bills are no worse than my 200 was, if you stay to the max of the stock injectors (340ish bhp) you will still get 16ish mpg if you drive it sensibly!
lol englebert i cant afford to just say right here is a shed load of money make it look spank...
as for wheels, been looking at new barrels to make them bigger, tbh the rears sit nice the fronts really really need spacers, and im gonna get them refurbed... im tempted to go satin black lip with satin yellow centres... and it looks high in that pic as it had been on stands for a couple days and had just dropped it down, but once spacers are sorted the front is gonna be lowered about 20mm i think...
i went with 17's for cheap rubber... 18's cost alot but im keeping an eye out for some 18's i think, saw a nice set of work meisters on sxoc but they have too much offset for stock fd arches! it would of meant another 1k of front and rear arches to make them fit and 2k for wheels and arches i thought was a bit extreme but would of looked sooooo damn nice but meisters and ssr prof's have been played out a bit too much recently.
