My New Valver !!
« on: 27 July 2005, 10:11 »
Here's some pics of her - she's not had a wash and polish yet and it was raining all night :(

She's TOTALLY original with 95k on the clock, stacks of history and so fast I'm doubting the engine is stock!

I'll post up some better pics after the weekend and a trip to halfords for some cleaning stuff ....

Nice one matey, looking good. I'm really starting to like these small bumpered mk2s.  :grin:

What you got planned for it ? I'd say lay the rear wiper flat and new wheels first.  :grin: Maybe drop it too.  :undecided:

Wheels and exhaust are definately first ... Funds pending it'll be off to Awesome for a 4 - 1 stainless manifold and then more stainless exhaust out the back - not sure on what brand or tail trim yet. Might even get a quote for a custom job ??

As for the wheels I'm a bit stuck - the guy before it has just put 4 almost new P6000's on so I can't waste them !

Probbaly something simple though - Ronal LS's or something similar from Dubmiester.

What do people think ??

You could go for a Powerflow custom exhaust and then choose whatever tailpipe you want. As for the wheels, the world is your oyster ! :grin: As Slick says, just swap the tyres over, should be cheap enough at any tyre place, bit of a no brainer for them really. If you want wheels this year from Dubmeister I'd put your order in now as they have a reputation for being a bit slack on the delivery of wheels.  :undecided:

nice ride mate,  :cry: makes me cry cause i dont really wanna sell oakey :cry: :cry: compared to an 8v they feel as fast as you like!!!

id go for some 15" bbs, lower it 50mm and put a pipe on (letterbox style) get a piper x induction kit for it which replacees the lower half of the air box they make a hell off a difference!!
