Or like MiniGibb's :( Such a shame to see that motor in the state it is now.

Welcome back Andy!

Still see your GTi in banzai and I remember the feature in fast car with the R. That's some motor by the way.

I think the whole modifying scene has moved on a bit recently. It seems less about big colours, kits and interiors and more about performance, clean cars and OEM+ modifications. There's still plenty of motors about here that are "show" worthy in their own right but maybe not in the "all singing, all dancing" way as before. AndyS's 5 door, Leigh and his brother's DET's and VVL's, Scott's DET Van, David Bull's 480bhp DE+T, Rowdy's track weapon, Wezz's VVL monster, Simcards Gti+T, Almerasleepers supercharged N16 and EDK's extremely subtle but immense attention to detail N16.

You're right the scene changed dramatically sometime ago. Its one of the reasons i sold the Mera. Definitely the new scene is almost less is more, Euro and drifting has had a big influence but IMO its performance and subtle/smooth/simple styling thats in. Just so happened i hit the nail on the head with the R and got 3 mag covers. A mag cover is always a good sign of the times, its sort of how i knew the Almera's 'max power styling' was heading out as it only managed the one front cover but i had the best 4 years out of my life in it! :D

Cool cool, glad to see Dave is still around! That was one of my next questions!

Ahh T11EWL, i remember that car well!

Yeah mate it wasnt cheap, in total including buying it and several revamps, ie; silver/blue, silver/black and ultimate orange/black it cost me over £35,000 but thats still a miniscule amount compared to what the show car boys do these days (£60,000-£90,000! :eek:)

I learnt alot with the Almera and learnt what companies to avoid too so made no mistakes on the R and went to the right people second time round, pulled a few strings and blagged a couple of freebies resulting in a bought and built for under £10,000. I've still got a few changes to make for more performance, better aerodynamics and a few more trick touches but then i'm done and will probably treat myself to a few more track days :D
 
YIKES and i thought id spent a lot on my almera with the current cost standing at £17K
 
yike that is a lot! wish i had that sorta money to spoend on a car :D would be awsome. u done a top job with it tho i drool over it every time i see it.
