Its a Reflex Silver 2002 1.8t. My Goal with this car was to make it very sleek and classy looking.. It has  Front and Rear Lip Kit. 18 Inch Silver Mille Miglia Rims. APR 93 Flash with Full 3 Inch Turbo Back Exhaust and High Flow Cat. The Regular Upgrades with boost gauge, intake, Full Neuspeed Lowering Cup Kit, Neuspeed TIP. Upgraded bypass valve etc. Brembo Vented front disc brakes. The Interior is black on black leather, and everything has been left untouched other then the small pillar boost guage. I live in Canada, and parts are alot harder to come by, so most of the parts were shipped up from the States. After I installed all the parts I was still on the original Clutch and Tranny, until one day when it blew up, putting way too much torque with the Chip and 3inch turbo back to the tranny. The one thing that this car has that no car around the Vancouver Area has, is the European Bora Transmission with longer gears.  Although im not running a Big Turbo Setup, the car is quick because im in Peak power for a wider range and therefor its still a fast car.  If I shift out at Redline i get to 75km in 1st gear. 120km in 2nd gear, 170km in 3rd gear, 210km in 4th gear, and im yet to redline 5th. With the longer gearbox and new tranny i installed a Stage 2 Clutch, however this failed after only a year of driving as the Tranny was too strong for the Clutch.. So now i Have a Stage 3 clutch with 8lb flywheel in there and it holds very nicely. My goal with this car was to make it look nice and "class" yet a "sleeper" to a degree, and i think ive succeeded in that.  I commute 100km to work each day so daily drivablity is a must so i haven't gone Big Turbo yet. Next summer when i purchase another vehicle this one will become my toy, and I will be going with a Kinetics Big Turbo Kit, as my tranny and clutch is already beefed up enough to handle it.
