5. Bridgestone Potenza GIII all around with plenty of tread

and thats all i can think of for now, i know ive missed out on allot of little things

pros: with all the dead weight being taken out of the car plus the suspension and handling modifications, it is absolutely fast around corners. Wheels alone RRP close to 3.5 grand brand new. I believe it has a nice subtle yet aggressive appearance and would be a great base to start on. Its definitely a head turner.

Cons:
1. the signature fto rust bubbles have appeared on the roof, these were there when i got the car 2 years but since then i have countered the rust with allot of RustProof and RustKill products. I have also sealed up most of the roof to prevent any further rust trying to develop. These bubbles have not moved or grown in the last year ive owned the car since the protection. It has also never bothered me but if your picky just cut out the rust.
2. driver side mirror is a bit damaged but will be replaced in a few days
3. Signature tappet noise on cold starts, this can easily be quiet down by different engine oils

additional info:
1. Engine was swapped over about a month ago, the new engine has 117***kms on it and runs fine
2. I have ALWAYS used premium ever since its engine swap, washed and waxed it fortnightly and polished monthly
3. ALL STRIPPED OUT INTERIOR COMES WITH THE CAR
4. I have many spare parts to come with it such as fuel rails, sterring column covers, rear seat brace, intake manifold, foglight and indicator assemblies and more


ATM the car is at my mechanic getting an alternator swap and having its final service and checkover before sale.
