just waste as little money as possible on it. whack some coilovers on it (keep the old shocks so you can put them back on when you get rid) dont bother with a vento front as ventos are sh!t and a vento front mk3 is even sh!tter (my opinon, scene queens will hate..)

go for a matt camo green!


out of intrest what brewery/pub are you manager of at 19..?

okells, its a isle of man company that have 42 pubs on the island and 5 in the mainland!

exaust today
« Reply #26 on: 13 January 2011, 17:14 »

first this to do is jack up the beast


bit of bodging as the current exaust is 45mm and back box is 60mm used  1 reducer and a flexi pipe



first try and make a custom hanger for the box, this was my first attempt ended up cutting the origional back box and got my brother to weld it to the stainless steel one



finished product will get better picture tomorrow

only one small problem is that the welding and sorting with the pipe is a bit well messy so needs tidying up

I had one on mine and I loved the sound of it :cry:

I actually had that exact same setup, except my silicon reducer was red not black.
