some of you have probably seen my car in the genral section, but i decided i wanted to keep one of these diary thingys.

basically when i was looking for my car, on the list was; colour coding, exhaust, alloys and cd player. lucky for me those four are done. with 15's and an irmsher (i am told)

so now the things i have on my list are:
lowering springs (possibly shocks??? what do you think)
6 by 9's (pair on the way i hope)
door speakers (stock ones dont like bass much and dont turn up that loud cus they start crackling)
other components and sub
angel eyes and tailights (not sure what yet)

that would be it for the time being but i might add new stuff in as i think of it.

but i will keep this updated and probably write progress of my driving test to (passed my theory months ago)

I really like the look of it

Get it lowered, you going to buy coilovers or just springs?

What headlights you been looking at? Most look good on a white corsa.
