Things i've changed for the better;

- 16v front shocks with -35m springs,
- 16v front hubs,
- 16v steering wheel,
- 16v phase 2 seats/doorcards,
- 16v carpet,
- 16v phase 1 wheels,
- K&N IK,
- colour coded phase 3 bumpers,
- mirrorball hanging from interior mirror!

TBH i don't think i'll change this anymore...this is reno number 6 and i've had enough of everything that comes with them. As soon as i find a suitable replacement and money to pay for it this will be getting sold. Been fun though and is really cheap to run! :)

turbines seem to suit the ph3 very nicely, remedi's is another good example :)

Good idea!

Yeah they look good...still undecided between them and the rsi alloys tho as i get a bit more clearance on the rear arches with them...as it is, the turbines only give a cm or so rubber-to-arch! Front really needs to come down a fair bit more tho...its on -35mm 16v springs so i'm tempted to throw some -55mm 16v springs on. Only issue might be ride quality as the car is light and the springs significantly higher poundage than non-16v items....dunno if its worth the money or bother tho... :?

if you decide to use the rsi alloys please feel free to give me you turbines! LOL :lol:

LOL!

Well the rsi wheels are lighter by over a kg and have a slightly smaller diameter due to the tyres i've got on so better acceleration. Saying that, 3 of them are on ebay part worn tyres with cracks through the rubber so maybe not... :lol:

i do like RSI wheels but am having trouble deciding...this is the 6th set of wheels in a year to be on the car! Its ran std 13"s, 16" gold speedlines, 15" phase 2's, 14" steelies, 14" rsi's and now these...i dunno :? Turbines have defo slowed it down more tho and they're limiting my lowering options...with rsi's on the only limiting factor is track rod thread... :wink:

Been driving this for a few days now and i think accleration had taken a hit compared to having the rsi's on :(

Might need to have a rethink... :?

if you do decide you prefer the Rsi's please offer me the Turbines!! :wink:

anyway
