    Fixing the dirty beasts today

    Been sorting out a few teething problems on mine and fitting new shocks and springs to the G40. Had loads of fun and the ramps made the jobs so much easier. I want some!!!!!!!!











    How the G40 normally looks



    And my mates Mk2 GTi



    All my mates are veedubers, thus my crazy euro style

    Sorry for the shit camera phone pics, need to start taking my digi cam when I fix my car.

    Good pics there fella, g40 look pretty good but your valver is much nicer IMO. Have you not had bit of a comparison between the two cars? I presume he's the fella who's done a 14.9 qtr??

    Yep, 14.9 but that was before any mods.......He was well up for a comparison but I took him for a spin and he has kind of shit out lol. He wants to fit his tooth pully kit first because it can't get full boost yet.

    The weather has been shit the past few days, both of us have major traction trouble, so prob wait for a dry day, but york is the offical race. competative's not the word...he's been talking about removing his dash, doorcards, seats etc etc for york lol.

    been trying to make a 0-100 vid for days. but only got a shit one. you want to see that?
