Metz, is your Saloon a NZ engine?

If so, put Corrado seats in the front, strip the rest of the interior and lower it 40 mil :wink:

The new wheels are something else by the way, can't tell but do they have a 'dark' type finish to them? Similar to MK4 Golf GTi Anni wheels?

Hiya mate,
I missed out big time with the engine, its only 1043 i'm afraid.
The wheels are actually just polished, it must be the light making them look dark.

It's the GPS reciever that gives a true reading of speed based simply on it's changing distance between 3 or more sattelites, it's a very accurate measure of speed. Car speedometers simply estimate the speed at the edge of the tire based on how fast the driveshafts are turning and by making one or two assumptions about the accuracy of the whole system, and as such car manufacturers tend to make them read approximately 10% faster than you're actually travelling, in order that they won't be held responsible if you're stopped for speeding when your speedometer says you're travelling within the limit due to some kind of inaccuracy in the measurement.

woooo..... a big ass pair of fuzzy dice and some hydraulics the next mod?
heheh lookin good man tho yeah.. need to chop it just a little, especially at the front (or go all-out for the west coast style and jack it up an extra 20mm both ends :D)

i'm assuming its maybe easier to sort out clear rear indicators for yours as well... seeing as it's basically a square bit of plastic... it'll give it that nice two-tone red & white strip image too :)

Gunna get it dropped a little when i have the dosh, As for clear rear indicators, i'd love to do it but i can't find none anywhere to fit.

It usually sits the same height back and front but i got a big double sub box in the boot so it squats a little on the back end.
