Needs coilovers and slamming on it's arse, a bit too 4x4 for my liking.
Passat B5.5 2.3 V5 170, with all the extras.

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

not that piece of sh!t.
they made it as an advertising ploy..
it was at bath and west whilst i was marshalling up on the top track... kids loved it

Centre of gravity is about 6000ft too high. will be unstable on road, and wouldn't want to go on any side inclines at all  :lipsrsealed:
Notice how they have changed the gear ratios to suit the oversized wheels.... o wait. they haven't.
Can you rename this thread - how not to modify a 4x4

Fixed. I didn't like it anyways just posted it as its rediculous
