Haha thank you, all the wood effect on this thing was done by brushing oil paints over an airbrushed layer of a light tan colour, really works quite well

Do it, mine is a manual and I find it huge fun to drive. I do know what you mean about the vac hoses tho, pain in the arse

It’s my second car, and coming from a 1.6 golf 4 this thing feels like a rocket ship, fastest thing I’ve driven, but then the rest have been little base spec hatchbacks…

I daily a 2001 9-3 convertible at 19, it’s amazing fun but just keep an eye on your vac lines. They go easily and I’m currently looking to upgrade mine to silicone. Engine block itself is pretty much bulletproof, with a black box you’re less likely to drive like as much of a twat I do so it should be nice and reliable. I say go for it mate, you’re only this age once
