I own the car since 05/2007, and everything i've got it's spent on it, i know it is slow, but considering the laws about displacement in Greece, i doubt if i ever go for an engine swap (anyway, i prefer the 2.2 engine). I still don't like it, i mean, i love the front and the side looks but i hate the rear narrow looks, so i'm trying for sometime now to gather all the necessary pieces to make it just like the 2.8 prefacelift, with Z3M alloys.
