P0rn! Love those. Lowering it the splines way is a bit risky mate, best taking the bar out and doing it the mm but its done now and looks the sex.

mmmmh i love that old style of golf, really really nice !

What does that actually mean?

Have been busy working a lot recently, not much time to be on the computer these days. Anyway. New filter arrive, here's the old one and the new one, and after i fixed the flexi tubing so it sits better: Heh, need to give the engine bay a little clean. :D My black mirror covers...

Its the balancing/Tracking of the wheels. Best bet is to pop into somewhere with a tracking machine and get the wheels tracked and balanced, or get new tyres.

Nah, there not on yet mate, still need filled/primed/sprayed/laquered :p That's them just sanded up so they are ready to be filled. Hoping to do that today if its not raining :(

Finnaly got the induction kit fitted, looks quite neat sitting in there, need to cut the tubing a bit though:

Nice 1! Piccies?

Also planing on colour coding bumpers, so order myself a set of bumpers from later models, after some sanding: Now they need filled and primed ready for soem top coat after i strip the front bumper. As by standard XNs have no rev counter and instead a big old analoge clock. So...

Mmh, maybe i should post some progress on the car. And what i've been doing, was going to leave it for a while till i had done a lot of stuff, but oh well, ill post it now. Here she is stock standard after i got her: Then i got the badges off Now for the bigger change ;)...

Seems dodgey to me, what kind of car you got?

What kind of car you got? Weight reduction, strip the car, get a roll cage. Air filter, sports cat, 4-2-1 manifold, fast road cams........ its endless mate ;)

I'd attempt to do a lot to mine. Maybe not a full body respray. But you cant trust other people to do your mods for you, best do it yourself, if you break something, you know where you have went wrong and can learn from it.

Mate, save about a grand or less more for a 106 quicksilver. I wish i done that. They are 1.4, quite nippy, handle like go karts and best of it is they are insurance group 4! Nice and cheap to insure, perfect first car imo.

Bah, i dont agree with dont mod your first car and get some NCB, gives you some practice for when you do get something bigger! You dont want to mess up a 3grand car, but its ok if its your car that cost about £600. Anyway. I wouldnt go any bigger than 15s if i were you. That way you can lower...
