I like that you opened the garage door to get the RS on show in the first pic

a lot of car for £1900 imo. interior looks really nice.

a nice set of wheels and lowered a bit and it would look spot on.

From what I can tell this uses the Torsen 4WD system (not haldex) which means a constant 50/50, or 60/40 depending on the year of manufacture.

I had just washed and hoovered the car and the garage is where my hose and power points are. It wasn't deliberate
I don't actually have a front door key to my house, me and my dad both come in and out of the garage. Always have done, always will do

19's will suit the car spot on IMO. They have huge arches and will swallow 18" alloys.

Nah, 19s would look too big. Especially if I was going to drop it much.
