lots of people keep pming me about my car, so i'd better put a thread on here

 

this is is when i bought it. pretty horrible looking if you ask me

 

 

It already had had a respray and coilovers, but was sitting at a rude-boy spec ride height so i dropped it.

 

 

new grill

 

 

got rid of the discusting 17"s in favor of some ras a mate had

 

 

then i robbed the wheels off my golf and stuck them on the rado

 

 

 

fitted some old speakers

 

 

for some reason i bought a stupidly small number plate

 

 

then i broke down ;-(

 

 

front engine mount was snapped so i bodged it

 

2 days later i broke down again in the middle of freaking nowhere

 

 

added g60 brakes

 

 

went to a bank

 

 

swiss cheese

 

new 'zaust

 

 

got bored and wanted it lower

 

coilovers were completely seized. i even had to drill the topmount nuts off to get them off

 

 

got some new coilovers off a chap on here and properly dropped it

managed 16 miles, then split the sump

 

 

a new sump was promply fitted, but about a week later my oil buzzer went mental

 

pulled the sump off to find this;

 

 

the new sumps obviously taken a hit and the baffle has come loose and grinded against the crank, theres plastic shavings everywhere

 

 

a random nice photo

 

 

joey modded the lights

 

 

before and after

 

 

hockey puck

 

 

front engine raise

 

 

had to do a ****load of grinding for it all to clear. could do with a slim fan really, the stock one is sitting on the starter motor

 

 

but now the bonnet doesnt close ;-(

i think you need a VR6 dry sump to get over all these clearance issues you're having...

 

now, who was it that designed one of those recently...? :lol:

Maybe it's a sign your running too low :scratch:

 

Looks nice otherwise.

 

Any damage to the crank?

[boost monkey 0]

no such thing.

 

Please tell me you're not one of these scene heroes.... :facepalm:

each to there own , people are always saying mine is to high. but why have something so low you cant drive it ?. one of me mates left my house and wacked the sump on a dip in the road . a nasty scrape but luckily no serious damage .

Ya looks good low dont get me wrong, but you cant give it any beans as any slight bump in the road would destroy the sump and anything els that it hits at speed plus you would have to run the coilovers so stiff it would break your back. :scratch:

 

These cars are there to be driven not low and slow, thats what air cooled is for ;)

 

But each to their own :afro:

yeah its just a kr. was thinking about vr swapping but theres no point, you cant drive it fast anywhere.

 

yeah its red leather ;-) im thinking about a red carpet and flocking the dash in red ;-)

Why run it so low that you have to modify it to clear the road? just seems stupid to me mate but each to their own. :/

 

Dont mean to sound like an old fart but i am so i probably will lol!
