Mk3 time again...

[kniterider]

pictures... er none taken today ive had a hangover from hell.......

thanks to hardcore for the rear window wiper (as mine was missin) 

now, driving it on saturday its too good ( as in not overlly fast, comfortable , mint everywhere etc) to go killing it round the track.... and the mr2 turbo is too fast to use on the road safely so im thinking of learning to drive the mr2 round the track as my toy, and keeping this mk3 as it is now.... standard ride height, wheels etc everything as its too good to modify in anyway in my eyes,

so do i do this?? or do i lower it, decat, exhaust etc and rag it to death round a track......

why cant you just subtly mod it for everyday usage?!

hmm i dunno... the boat like handling is quite comfortable, and it is a real goodun, i kinda think it would be wrong to mess about with it.....

[Dinky]

oh dear..... just won some 17" wheels/tyres......

 

[kniterider]

picked up these tonight...



so i guess standardism aint happening....... got a buyer for the mint stock rims, so that will fund some lowering kinda stuff... lol... as i dont wanna be ridin high to long!!

i'm guessing the mk2 was an 8v? otherwise 16v mk2 would surely be a better car than a 16v mk3? i might be wrong having never driven a 16v mk3 but going on what i have read?

I aint lowered mine yet Diane!

I have purchased some lowering springs and once the body kit is fitted I will decide if it needs to be lowered to complete the new look!

[kniterider]

tom, yeah the mk2 i just got rid of was an 8v, i probably would have kept it and done the few jobs it needed if it was a 16v (have had about 5 mk2 8v's and 4 mk2 16v's) but it wasnt......yeah mk2 16v is a better car in my eyes, but as ive changed my direction (gonna bung me mr2 turbo on the trackdays and stuff as you cant drive it safely on the road cause its a lairy f@cker) , so i need a bit of realism for going to work and stuff in, was gonna keep it standard till i won them wheels...lol... now ive put em on this morning its 



oil rig styleeeeee  !!!  it needs droppin about 2-3" but i dont want any of that scrubbin shat.... low is good, love the look but for real life driving its a pain in the a55... hmm coilovers i might be a thinking.........

[golfpro]

yeah, i recon coilovers are the best way. looks good for a bag of sand!
