My First car, purchased from my sister for the princly sum of \u00a3800 in October 2005.<\/p>\n

SEAT Ibiza SXE (1998 MK2) 1.4 8V APQ engine 60bhp.<\/p>\n

After its first wash at the jetwash after fitting some clear side repeaters, high as a kite suspension wise. This photo was ofcourse taken with a potato.<\/p>\n

Soon after that I wished to change up some of the bits as I was working in Halfords at the time.
\nI picked up some 15″ Vault Alloy wheels for the bargin price of \u00a326 each. Yes, new.<\/p>\n

I added some tyres from a set of Celica GT4 alloys that was in the garage at the time.
\nSome hearty LASSA 205\/50\/15s, altogether too big for the car, but I never had an issue!<\/p>\n

I added the Northern Ireland standard of Metro plates, and took it for some “fancy” pictures with my gifted Sony Cybershot 1.3MP.<\/p>\n

Next came some sounds with the front door speakers being upgraded for Alpine Co-Axial speakers and the existing Clarion headunit being swapped for a nice Kenwood unit.<\/p>\n

I went to some meets with friends<\/p>\n

Then I lowered it with another Halfords bargin \u00a360 SPAX 30mm springs<\/p>\n

This car was a blast and I had alot of fun in it. Unfortunately mechanical sympathy was not my strong point, blowing up the gearbox twice, and then blowing the head gasket.<\/p>\n

So a year and a bit after buying it, I sold it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
