my near "perfect storm" (vr6storm)

Recommended Posts

well after almost 2years of ownership my storm is getting near to being perfect(well to what i want)

so far i've added

 

 

black VW roundels

K&N panel filter in modded airbox

AtE power groove discs(cheap as chips and look dearer too)

Milltek cat-back S/S system

AmD re-chip

Koni coil-over suspension

re-furbed alloys

 

well here's some pics of my storm no longer looking like it has 4x4 suspension

One immaculate motor Roddy.. really is a superb example. But maybe because I am so used to 'ordinary' cars now but damn your car looks exceptionally low..

Yeh i am hoping to have the car ready for the run...looking forward to it.

Will have to learn how to drive again before then as it`s been that long since ive sat behind the wheel. :cry:

If my efforts on COLIN MCRAE rally are anything to go by, :shock: roddy had better take his car.

 

The more the merrier. 8) :D

Looks great Roddy, as low as mine at the back but I think my front looks higher? How does it drive now?

Anyone up for meeting myself and joe m at the service station on the M74 on the way to Kames? We had a 2 car convoy (not really a convoy then) on the way to biggar and there is talk of another local joining us for the drive over. I know you guys are coming all the way from the 'deen but if you gave us an eta we could all possibly meet up. Just a thought!

:roll: You're supposed to measure to the wheel CENTRE! the wheel lip distance will vary with different wheel sizes!

 

If I've got 15" wheels on, and then put 17" wheels on, my car will be no lower, but the distance from the arch to the wheel rim will be smaller 'cos the tyre profile will be smaller and the wheel larger! The distance to the wheel CENTRE will not have changed though... :D
