mikinoz, those wheels are amazing. May I ask what size tire you are running?

Thanks bro. They are Nankang NS2 185/45 R15 on a 7" Rim

Post up some pics when they are fitted mate. Be nice to see another on S1 Turbos, not many sets left out there.

[Rapid Decompression]

You bet. I expect them here next week. I also need to get the suspension bits on as well.

[mikinoz]

Rear suspension beam ready for new bushes



New stoppers for the rear. (MKIV Golf calipers btw)



Some bumper bling, I am in two minds of

[Vegeta Gti]

what rear sway is that? and is the toe bar from scch?

[mikinoz]

It is not a commercially available sway bar.

All of this was custom done - all the fittings were purchased (rose joints, tubes etc) but the rear sway bar was bent/welded in house and so was all of the welding for the toe bar.

bumper bling FTW

Still I remain unconvinced.

Now the expensive part begins!

[Lima]

Still I remain unconvinced.

For good reason.

Not feeling those bumpers either. I'd say chrome, but I say a lot of things.

[mikinoz]

I'm sure I'll find a taker pretty easily. Reinvest the money in some cams.

Sweet Congrats!

Check out type3 selecta to choose your mods

Cheap mod would be to paint the inner wheels black or red with cap on or off and white walls

So the last thing you need is another Mk1 in your care.

It has it's own car cover so is always welcome.

We need to get that sorted out. I'll be down next weekend by the look of things.

But back to MK1 land, and these direct from The Fatherland;

[mikinoz]

Sweet Congrats!

So I have researched the car a bit more and find the following;

Orginial owner Mrs Cramp lived in Hackett, Canberra and owned the car for 28 years. It was then sold to a bloke 4 doors down in her street who had it for another 10 years. Pretty cool it spent nearly 40 years of it's life in the same suburb. We are the 4th owner. We have the original books.

[mikinoz]

In terms of the cars you boys have here, it is a modest big brake kit.

285mm upgrade with Green Stuff pads and braided lines went in today.

[Lima]

Nice.

Phase one complete.

Wound the back down 2" but need to raise it up again another 1/2" to level it out. Loving this car. The simplicity is just so rewarding.

[mikinoz]

Really suits your ride, well done.

(need negative camber and a spacer on the back for some stance )

I do my own stunts, you should know that.

Venetian and visor next, followed by red/clear tail lights. Wheels I'm not sure. Never seen one on BBS RS.

Loving the aircooler!

[mikinoz]

Out with the old...



... in with the new!

[Lima]

Is the swaybar thick enough?

[CliceKing]

is that your garage Mick?

Big thanks to Mick and Doug sorting out my brakes on the beetle.

In regards to sorting out your stance on the T3 this should help:

I think it's going into the Will this one Tim.

I'll try and get some pics and vids soon.

For his sake I hope he never sells it. But I'll ask now and then just to be sure

I'd love to see how it looks today. I think it was about five years ago when I last rode in it and it was mental then!

You going to Wakefield? I'd love to see some footage of it hooning around tomorrow.
