spindat45 0 Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 At last some pics of my car. Still lots to do but I've made a start.From this..... to this, with the help of the G-Max suspension kit and a wash..... and finally to this Since the last pics, I've fitted my Miltek exhaust and had my rear badges nicked. Car is going in this week for a bit of arch work so more pics to come.Kevin Link to post Share on other sites

spindat45 0 Posted May 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Thanks guys!looks tidy' date=' its sitting nice and low, is the g-max kit any good?[/quote']I like the G-Max kit mate. If you just want to up-rate from standard and go a bit lower then I'd recommend it. I use the car around town quite a bit (speed bumps) so I didn't want anything too harsh. Although the ride is noticably stiffer than stock, I haven't lost all of the comfort of the VR. Eyeballs are still firmly in sockets. 8-) Took it on a run up to Colchester the other day, first proper run on the M-Way sice fitting and it was lovely. No more altitude or sea sickness. I drove it around on the standard 15's for a couple of weeks to settle it in and get used to the ride but putting the 17's on has really made the difference. I took a bit of a gamble on the height but it has definately paid off. Car is in the bodyshop atm having a bit of arch work done. Should be back by the end of the week so more pics to come.

Earwig 89 Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 So you actually DID go for it after all !When I spoke to you, you seemed a bit unsure if you were going to do it or not !I said at the time and I say again now i think it will look pretty nice.At the very least it will be unique.I am looking forward to seeing the finished item.Keep us updated with pics throughout the Job though, I love seeing W.I.P.Since Sparkz twisted your arm to get a VR in the first place is he paying for the work ;-) Or perhaps a Supercharger ! Time to bend his arm me thinks?Mark. Link to post Share on other sites

Will be done in time for 9th July. I can't wait to get back behind the wheel. Its only been a week since i last heard that rumble but i'm getting withdrawl symptoms already.I think that considering i was coerced into buying a VR the least that Sparkz could do is pay for my mods. (hint hint) Bend his arm? Might have to snap it off Link to post Share on other sites
Earwig 89 Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Bend his arm? Might have to snap it offI think that will be hard work, they look pretty strong Look forward to seeing it all done. I take it you might be going to Santa Pod ? Link to post Share on other sites
