But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Parked next to a mate of mine there, he bought one of my old ibizas off me before he did that red sportback and lives near me!

Wheels look awesome on it, in that picture, have you been mucking about with coilover height? Looks like it's bang on there!

Scott you have hawk eyes  :grin: Yes I played with the height before the show. Still not 100% but will do for now and I ditched the helper springs which made height adjustment unaccurate.

Your mate is sound. Quality motor. :smiley:

 :nerd: just looks a tad more nose down, rather than flat. Miles better!

Can see me ending up wanting 16 inch rs's!

After using the black coolant cap one of the coolant plugs burst under pressure so the engine has been out.

Paint engine parts - Done

Just caught up on this, looks great. All the hard work has been worth it.

You don't own a Mk2, you support it.

A few rolling shots. Notice how the colour looks different depending on light. Awesome colour if i say so myself  :cool:










...and thats how it stands. Still lots to do as it's a mk2 but just don't have the time at the moment.
