Hi guys,
Over the last few weeks I''ve managed to get a new set of 18" Clubsport alloys,a set of mirrors,chrome exhaust tips and lower the car on the Eibach pro kit springs. On the servicing side I've had the accelerator cable replaced giving me a real light pedal and I've had the clutch bled for better gearing. I also had to replace the spark plugs and 3 of the ignition coils . The handling of the car is absolutely fantastic since I've lowered it and she is much better over ramps and bumpy roads...odd eh? Overall,a busy month Anyway,here's some pics: Pic 1 Pic 2 Pic 3Pic 4 Pic 5 Edited by Richie |

Very very nice Richie - you can be well pleased with that. Looks fantastic! I'll definitely recognise you now if I spot you out on the roads! Where abouts did you pick up the rims? They're very nice. Well done. Now all you need are little air in takes behind the front arches and a 3.2 litre lump |

Cheers Graham...I picked up the wheels brand new in a tyre place in Blackrock.They had comeoff a new BM from Maxwell and they took them in to sell.Got them with brand new Uniroyal tyres all in for 1300.In maxwell the same set are 2700 + VAT.One of those lucky bargains I guess.
I'm workin on the 3.2litre lump |

Nice one Ritchie - great call on the wheels - even better that you got them @ the price you did... It's looking each time you post a piccie up tis getting better & better! what next though?? To quote Snoop: "Three 18" rims are running on the side, they're riding on the side, yeah running on the side" I think I (don't) speak for the club when I say we expect hydraulic suspension for the next meet! |

With your chipped pace and enhanced handling, I'm sure a quick food raid & getaway on a Bendini & Shaw van is well within your ability!

Many people on the forum have been concerned about Killian for a time now, fatherhood seems to have changed him !

I'd imagine that Lidl tint would probably concentrate the UV light coming thorugh - you'd have holes burnt in your upholstery!!!

I think they look quite stylish on the new motor! My insurance has also come down because Axa reckon nobody would nick it now!
since fatherhood? I have always been like this! |
