When I was driving back from Geelong one day I noticed a riced up proton satira with a pearlescent paint job, 17' rims and a lot of bass with some knob behind the wheel. I had to do 140 to catch him so my girlfriend could take a photo. She has a 98 satira which is just sold for $8000. Not a bad little car, she had it for a year and a half, riced to the max and it never had any trouble. Of course hers was a base model and previous owner was an old lady. Good car none the less

that'd be the GTi yeah? with the recaro etc....

my mates is a satria XLS, and has a nice sporty interior, CF look on the speedo and tacho etc....looks very sporty inside...a GTi would be mad with the recaros etc, but they only come in silver!

Decided against this particular proton.... I saw its last service printout. It had written under reccomendations "Reccomend two new tyres", and "Both front rims buckled"

so yeah, wont be touchin it.
