RobinJI Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 I actually prefer yours Should still look nice though. On a side note are you sure the other bolt holes on yours aren't 5x112, not 110? 110 would be quite an odd fitment, especially for OEM audi replica wheels. (Don't mean to be picky, I just don't want you to miss out on a sale through a typo/mistake) If I still had my Passat I'd probably have been very tempted to convert it to 5 stud and buy them. Unfortunately 17's would need rubber band tyres to fit a Scirocco, and they really wouldn't suit it styling wise anyway! Good luck shifting them, I'm sure it won't take long.

Pashley26 Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 It was indeed a typo, 5x112 obviously. They would look immense on a Passat or Mk3. Being 17" they are much more saleable than the 18"s. Thanks bro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks bro it wasn't a typo, it was an error. 2 and 0 are nowhere even close on a laptop or phone keyboard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prawny Baby Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 J-Drizzle is off to R-tech today, so I'm going to pre-empt some rambling about the awesomeness of a man named Gower, and a car named Ron that 99.6% of you will never see. Philler thinks it's named Ron because it's Burgandy, but in actual fact it's short for Ronald MacDonnald, because you'd have to be a clown to drive a totally standard A3 with 300bhp 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george_seamons Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Hahaha, love how even you are taking the piss out of him about it now. Brilliant! I can't imagine using 300bhp without my Brembos...I'd have no confidence at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george_seamons Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 S3's aren't the only things on his slaying list...a 400+BHP Leon can be added to that list, but not quite for the reason he hoped for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Booth Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Fact, I saw the number plate j3rdo on a s2000 today, owned by the same man with THE j4rdo plate on a merc wagon thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(A number-pad was a major need when I bought my laptop, sod studying a mathematical science without one.) What's this about Jardo slaying a 400bhp Leon then?

george_seamons Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 He took a guys Leon out, and spazzed the gear change...went from 3rd to 2nd instead of 3rd to 4th. Biiiiiiig over-rev and dead engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamWood! Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 He took a guys Leon out, and spazzed the gear change...went from 3rd to 2nd instead of 3rd to 4th. Biiiiiiig over-rev and dead engine I did that in my civic once, but I was slowing down, dropped into 3rd from 4th still doing over a tonne, 3rd gear limiter is at 92mph. Didn't result in a dead engine though. It loved it really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Haha it's all a wind up I went out for a drive in a 400bhp Leon today, and now I want a GT28.Phils car is stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamWood! Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Gt28rs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 A £150 eBay turbo which is based on a GT28 which was bought second hand on Driftworks for £70...A year and 8000 miles later it's been off and is as good as new inside.So now every man and their dog is looking to make a budget GT28 build; it can be done to the same level for less than £1200 if you do the work yourself.

LiamWood! Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Very interesting, I've already got myself a gt28rs, it came with my donor motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Trouble with those cheap chinese turbos though is the inconsistency of them. Yeah you could spend £1200 and have an awesome car, but there's a fair chance you'd spend £1200 and have a shagged turbo and some bent con-rods. Simons car's awesome, but luck's played a really quite large part in it's low budget I'm chuffed it's worked out for him, but I'd hesitate to tell someone else to try the same.

Pashley26 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Me chasing after the Leon in Phils A3 - http://video.ak.fbcdn.net/hvideo-ak-prn1/v/756529_10152550379205508_1295507212_n.mp4?oh=172c7924ff07849a73928ebb96b15ac3&oe=511D7919&__gda__=1360885084_e27173f70d1a4fa09bd8f90bd8c3b25c Ive got to say, Phils leon is quick off the mark! Not as fast as mine out of first gear, but as far as launches go it's pretty good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
