Ahh well had to happen eventually, with the km's on my car going up and up and up (145,500) i knew i wouldve had to trade it in one day and that one day ended up being sunday....
went to look at a VR4 that my missus had seen the day b4, looked nice in silver (tho not as good as my black one) with the evo wing so we took it for a test drive and **** it was nice, plus its a manual :-D km's were only on 36,000 so was hooked...
anyways was bloody hard giving up my girl especially with the money i put into it, but was able to swap over my chromes, sound system and get a new mongoose alarm put in since they could take out my old one....
....so gotta lower my car again, tints again, new exhaust again, wire all my subs and stuff up again.....bloody hell!!!
ahh well heres a pic of my old one (black) and a pic of my new one....

What was the deal like? I am thinking of trading the legnum in for a saloon car... with a similar evo like spoiler as yours, and finally a black car at long last ;)

10k for my black car or 14k if i left my chromes on he reckoned....but i wanted to keep my chromes...thats the only rat**** thing is that i was looking for a black vr4 for ages b4 i bought my old one, silver isnt my thing but the kms and manual persuaded me to get it :-D

10k? That's not bad actually... :) Always wanted a black car... bought a "trigger mauve" legnum though.... kinda grows on you I guess...

maybe $3k paint job is in order ;) Go the silver beast though dude, looking good with the evo wing :)

De-cat and back box will see a large increase in performance for less money. If you do the whole thing go for stainless!
