LiamWood! Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 It's a mess at the moment, the guy who put it together did the build on the cheap really, I know the motor is sound though because I sold it to him, then bought it back in a car for nigh on the same price.

RobinJI Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 I need to get some new photo's of the Scirocco. Currently rolling on some comedy bright green BBS that I picked up at the weekend. They don't look anywhere near as bad as I expected, in fact other than how in your face they are I actually kind of like them. Probably still paint them sometime though. This is the only shot I've got so far, excuse the bent bumper and generally crap exterior condition It's definitely starting to gain the used and abused look! I'm feeling good about the car recently, it's getting to a point where the teething issues after the engine swap and sitting for a year are all getting ironed out. Now I can have some confidence in it the chassis's showing it's self to actually be fine with the current power, it feels like I could get away with a fair bit more so I'll turn the boost up a bit soon, there's a lot of room for improvement chassis wise too, so it'll be fun improving things. That's not to say it handles badly as it is by any means, but I know there's plenty of parts that would help it be even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials owns Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Anyone know of any pictures that states/shows every single part of a car? Got a job interview with a car breakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Perkins Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Right, I'd like some advice.....I recently bought a passat cc, and I want to modify it. I had a seat Ibiza beforehand that was lowered on coilovers, sat on Borbet A's, 16x9, et15 all round, so you can sort of guess the style I'm after. Obviously not quite that extreme, I'd quite like to hit a 'VIP' look on the head, and think I have a good base to start from. Ideally I'd like 19's on it, which should mean it won't require a massive drop, which is good cos I drive over 20,000miles a year, so it needs to be comfortable. Any advice on a suitable suspension set up would be greatly appreciated. I'd prefer adjustable suspension, but I'd consider anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Gotta go for something HR or eibiech on something like that surely? Something as refined. I have FK highsports on my passat, but there all the way down so wouldn't be a fair comparison for yours. When they were at a sensible height thou I loved them. Pleeeease put bentleys on it, last cc I saw on bentleys looked jaw dropping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Perkins Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) I've been considering all sorts, but I reckon your right with Bentley wheels, they'd look incredible. It's just getting a set for a reasonable price haha. I'm trying to shift my borbets and a few other sets at the moment to pay for wheels, then I'll sort suspension, and stick it all on at the same time.

Leistonbmx Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 They are are in solid and so I dont fancy snapping them trying to remove them I seem to remember reading that removing them when the engine is hot is the best plan as the head will have expanded? I know it's a bit late but; I run them up hot, spray with penetrating fluid then have a go at them. Haven't snapped one yet. http://www.brokevw.com/MK2explodedview1.jpg Had this as my screen saver for a while I had that for so long. Awesome picture. Not really one for posting pictures but I'm bored. This is what I have been upto/in the middle of; US markers into a UK rubstrip One side is now finished. Still need to do the other. Smoothing wings, which will then be rolled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Oh well, the winter sport of driving at night ended for one of my friends yesterday This was to be expected sooner or later, at least he caught it on camera. Can't wait to see what that Subaru will look like after they fix it, this is what his M3 looks like and that hasn't been in an accident yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncy H Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 That guy was very calm to say he hit a tree, there'd have been a lot more swearing if it was me Fitted them drop links and its made a right difference. Steering feels a lot more responsive. Still not 100% sure I've cured the knocking though. Certainly most of it has gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munkee Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Allo allo all quite some time since being on here but need some advice. Looking to get rid of my bmw 5 series for something along the lines of an elise but not a clue on how best to make the transition. I'm assuming my car to be worth more than an elise I expect I can get 13-15k for mine it's done 31k miles 57 plate and its a 520d m sport auto tourer. The Elise's ive seen are around 10-14k for the 111s and insurance is not much different to what I pay now.Am I best selling mine private here or push for part exchange (or full it seems?) or get the bmw dealers to buy it off me and run with the money?

AndrewEH1 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) http://vimeo.com/58849310 As soon as I win the lottery I'm going car shopping in Japan for some classic Nissan.

AdamR28 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Snip. I think you're better off cash-wise to sell privately and barter down on the Elise for a cash sale, but for ease / speed trade in would win obviously... Big difference in those two cars btw! You definitely have no excuse not to come on trackdays then Put a bit to it and get an Exige? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
