Default *real Cars*

Hey people what's up? My first post in the NFS section; I'm usually over in the *****yness that is FIFA!

Just wondered as we're all into cars what cars people really drive? I'll start off.
As a daily driver I own a Ford Focus Zetec 5 Door (company car)
My weekend and play toy is being worked on at the mo...
A Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 8 MR FQ-320. Mods are as follows:
Carbon Fibre Bonnet
Carbon Fibre Front Fenders
Carbon Fibre Front Doors
Carbon Fibre Rear Doors
Carbon Fibre Boot
Carbon Fibre Spoiler
Extreme Dimensions Walker Body Kit
UltraliteGT-II Gold with Toyo Proxes
AP Racing Bakes w/Ferodo pads
Exe-tc suspension
HKS Exhaust
Uprated & Re-mapped ECU

Got a few other bits but hopefully she's going to be ready for next years show season as I'm doing some more engine work. Will post some pics of the photoshop in a bit.

So, what do you drive?

I drive a Vauxhall Zafira with just over 200bhp. It surprises a lot of young lads in saxo's etc.

Full stereo install with tv screens, dvd, sat nav and twin subs.

2 litre turbo, 0-60 in about 7.6 seconds with a top speed of about 140mph

Remember, all this in a car designed to carry 7 people!

Nice Zafira.

But what annoys me is when you see people in a Zafira with gigantic body kits that were made to fit tuners. It looks so daft.

Your isn't over the top, and it's still very fast.

Thanks. Aftermarket bodykits dont and never will suit a Zafira as it hasn't got the right body shape.

My car is a GSi which is a dealer standard car. Its based on the floor plan of the old Asta GSi and runs the same 2 litre turbo engine, hence the 200bhp

Basically apart from a few engine dress parts, the car is standard.

The addition of a straight through exhaust and a panel filter tips the power just over the 200bhp mark

Great! I'd love to see that driving around town. Someone 'round here has a Zafira like yours, but they've basically just put a dinner plate exhaust on it...
