Renault Alpine GTA
BMW E30 M3 (x2) including an evo 1
Lancia delta integrale 16v
porsche 911sc
2 beach buggies
+ 3 renault 5 turbos, a nissan 200sx & various other small hatches I've messed around with.
Water cooled VW's: -
2 x MK2 8v gti's
2 x MK2 16v gti's
2 x MK3 VR6's
I stopped running any thing stupidly expensive to maintain after some pretty hefty bills, often run a 2nd car as well to keep the usage down, including gems like rover 414, Ford orion, Renault 25's, 318i, 323i & 530i plus a whole bunch of other tat.
VR6 is probably the fave, I gutted when I had to let my first one go 4 years ago and was very happy when I bought another one this year.
Moved on a bit from my first car which was a Ford Capri 1.6 auto.

84k on a 96/N

I'm very happy with Koenigsports and Eibach ARB's so would recommend that unless you plan on trackdays.

I'm running a B&M one, makes a hell of a difference, can feel a bit notchy sometimes thought and I had to have mine modified as it kept spitting out the split pin which held the cable in place, is now tied with lockwire.

You want to see poor feedback, look at this bloke

Anybody know a good place for quality machined spacers, ideally would like a pair of 8mm ones and a pair of 15mm ones, looking in the fk catalogue they do these widths but the slimmer ones are not hubcentric, can anybody advise why this is the case
Cheers
-
I might have a set for sale soon, depends how soon you want them

I had 8 spare at one point, a full set of 6's, 7's and 8's, fortunately down to 2 spare now of which one is on ebay so I can have my garage back soon.
-
Yes they did make them for the rear of the 911, fronts were 7.5 x 16, the 944's ran 6's 7's and 8's, the offsets are slightly different I think and if you are thinking of lowering the car I wouldn't even go there, mine is lowered to about 40mm from the bottom of the coilover (koenigsports) and I get rubbing every journey running 8's with 215/40/16's

Yep all declared to HIC, I try and do all mods around renewal time that way I only have to try to get through to them on the phone once a year
-
Looking good pete
-
Don't lower it until the cats safe though
-
Looking better, was the guy who spaced your rear plate pissed by any chance?
-
And on mine

Pete
I know a guy who is a dealer for milltek, fitted the new twin round system on mine a few weeks ago, for £280, if you come to see the design 90's tomorrow, you can see it and I'll give you his details

Sorry, been trying to soure the link for these lights
http://carzone.dk/shop/default.asp?ProductID=1931
Only available left hand drive at the mo (and probably only ever will be), but definitely worth considerig as show lights
Big boys toys are stockists I believe.
In answer to the question regarding what a cult society rear plinth is see the link below

I'm hoping he's a non payer but I don't think I'll be that lucky

Edited, Sorry double posted

they were on the PVW classifieds for months without any serious buyers, worst thing is, they are still on my 6" design 90's and I'm going to have to pay a fitter to prise them off, so after his charge and the Ebay fees, looks like I'll see a score for them, if it wasn't for a near 200, 100% feedback I'd pull out
-
Saw a trader in PVW was selling kits run 312's on the mk 4 instead of 288's, think it was about £280 , didn't say if you could fit it to a mark 3 though?
-
Here are some pictures of my VR6, since the pictures were taken I have changed the front indicator bulbs to chrome ones, I now have a shortened personal plate, the design 90's at that time were 6's from my old mk2, they are now fully refurbished (not polished) 7's at the front and 8's at the rear, finally it has a miltek jet exhaust system and I've removed all the window stickers.
Other modifications are Fk koenigsports, Eibach ARB's, a heavily modified B & M shortshifter as B & M decided to let the customers do the R & D work it would appear, Mk4 headlights, M3 half smoked rear clusters, crystal indicators and fogs, and additional alarm protection.
Have recently purchased a Vento bonnet so depending on whether the new lights just released for ventos are any good I may be swapping the front end soon (need to get my arches rolled so a trip to the sprayers will be necessary anyway. Other items on the list if I ever have any money again would be Mk4 mirrors, Mk4 polo door handles and a cult society rear plinth, once thats all done I will move onto performance tweeks
-
forgot to add, I'm on 215/40/16's all round
-
Worth every penny, I sold my first VR6 as I was not happy with the handling and went back to a MK2 16v, this time round I've gone for coiliovers and ARBs and whilst its not quite as good due to the weight difference, it is an amazing amount better than before and is now amazing fun to drive on the twistys and roundabouts
How far do you comute?
