I picked it up about 9 months ago stock as a rock and just worked on it till now, and yes it is electric purple! 5 speed manual. I just got my licence and it is a sik little beast to cruz around in! Gets a few eyes turning as well! Feel free to have your say about my little toy! |

nice ride, all you need are some 16/17's and some king springs... if your into performance then a full exhaust system, advanced timing and high octane fuel wouldnt do any harm |
