No Only to the car park over the road and back.

I know it will be nothing like the 350 but still excited

They not to bad, but am gonna go for the vento front i think!
I think they look cool as funk with the angel eyes on.



Edit- Not quite so much as a run about, my corsa just isn't anything like this, the golf needs a bit of work for mot, but not to much. Will get a thread up

I was round his just before that and i think he was about to have his dinner, defo him?

Went for a drive a little bit ago, noise is without the airbox
Pulls very well and surprised bro as he thought it would be slow
Needs the suspension on ASAP! Standard is quite boat like so hoping to get that on this weekend. still quite a few bits to do but at least its on the road now Once the Nissan is gone i can finish tidying it up

Ben that does sound like him but he said he hasn't been out better not tell him there is one similar about

Airbox is there but I pulled the pipe out of it to make noise will get a cone filter on it this weekend sound noice!

Not driven it too hard yet as it's a boat compared to the 350, stranger driving a FWD car again too

Think It does but also think it's on it's way out anyway might drill the box instead?

Thinking about selling my 17" tt ronals on for a profit and getting some 16" monty's like below, thoughts?





Those ones are for sale and have been refurbed in a shadow chromish colour, but the ones in the first pic are the standardd finish. Tempted but not sure

16" tyres should be cheaper? i consider these things, thats partly why i still have 15"s can still get away with rubbing kerbs and only touching the tyre too

I don't think those wheels suit it

Thats what I'm unsure of Jim. Some angles i like them others i dont. I'm thinking 17's will prob be too big so knocking that on the head i think. If i go for 16's i can use the nearly new tyres on the current wheels and make a profit on the TT ones.

May give it a punt with those monty's and see what happens can always sell them on again.

thats a good find jr, that wear on bolster can be fixed easy with sandpaper and the dye kits.

i wonder how decent the engine is, i'd like a 2.8 AAA lump to rebuild/tune for when mine needs replacing

Are you in love James? Dont think Dad has the room for me to store it while breaking.

Going to pick those 16's up tonight, will see how they look over the weekend then decide which 2 sets of wheels will be getting the chop
