for the time being though as you say, straight back into its home.

I cant wait for you to get bored of it and sell it. It must be one of the best VX's around. I'd be queing up with my cheque book out.

I don't think that would happen.... Like ever...

[FLD]

Yeah, I can dream though. I've also got a secret lust for Vockys car too.

[JG]

I will never be for sale (so long as i can help it) I knew it was a bit low, i took the pics before adjusting it (must be the inner chav in me ), a combination of softer spring, additional weight of charger and sag in the springs meant the rear was 15mm out. riding at 110 rather than 125. (i chose a 115-125 setup) the front was out by 6 and 7mm (at just under 110) Should have chosen the eibach springs, maybe a little upgrade for the summer.

Tyre dressing is So it's a from me.

Hey Splam,

Look what i found this morning:

I think its You (the car was just supercharged at this point), TurboTomato, ECM (i think) and Me.

I'm going to guess December 2005 (but i might be wrong)

P!ss poor parking, all round.

[JG]

The picture metadata says 02 Jan 2006, which sounds about right actually, so i wasn't far off.

Ah yes

Quality of pictures leaves somewhat to do be desired too.

[The Batman]

wheres all the silver-black conversions?

[JG]

would be another could of years before they were (unfortunately ) invented. Or at least the disease had not spread to Kent at that stage.

[SPLAM]

Ha ha I remember TT pretty much bouncing round the carpark after drinking my coffee.

got to 116/124 by iteration number 3. i think it will do.

I like the wheels to be shinier than the tyres though.
Also tyre shine spits horrid oily stuff everywhere.

Most tyre dessing products do. But AutoGlym instant tyre dressing doesn't and is great stuff. Give it a go James........you know you want to.

It dries in completely, or you can wipe it off after a minute or two to give a less shiny, but still black finish

Yep, I went for nitrons own springs (375 / 475lb) and Guglielmi's set the ride height to 125 / 115 and when I went into Hofmanns to see Chris it had settled to 115 / 115... So no rake and unstable at speed...

Chris re-sprung the car with Eibachs (400 / 550) and said even in 5 years if I check this the ride height will be exactly the same!

Do yes do go for the Eibach's!!!
