If I were you I'd take the 16in Speedline wheels of the official gr. A rallycars - and a couple of Diac and Vive le Sport decals. There's one 16v around here like that and I can tell you it's awesome

Should look like this:

Agreed - I would take the Speedlines too

Theres a road that sort of runs parallel with the dual carriageway up over the hills, its one of our little 'routes' we have when we go for a blast over the moors

Just like that dude only a bit deeper with more roar due to the open induction kit.

Im going to put the de-cat on this weekend which should change the sound quite a bit, ill try get some decent before and after vids to show the difference.

They are properly insane mate, in the dry at night so you can see any other cars lights coming they are immense. Theres a section known as the black mile which is a mile long straight followed by a completely mental downhil section that has hairpins and all sorts of daft corners.

You really should come down one weekend.

gis · 04-17-2007, 06:58 PM

yea we will plan it sometime,i still owe daggernite a trip there anyway,so be cool to all meet up.got some little niggles with my car to sort out before i go WRC style with you yorkshire folk,lol

topgeartom · 04-17-2007, 07:04 PM

lol ditto - my steering currently has more play in it than a world cup final.

New column me thinks

Could do with a new clutch cable too - its currently stiffer than a manakin with a steel rod up its arse, makes crawling in traffic a nightmare, i can either set of at a snails pace and let the clutch slip out for 5 minutes, or set off with 9 billion revs like a bat out of hell. In heavy, slow moving traffic this does not make for a pleasant journey.

gis · 04-17-2007, 07:12 PM

lol yea thats a bit of a pain.get both those sorted and im sure the car will fly around the twistys.it wearing some good tyres?

topgeartom · 04-17-2007, 07:14 PM

lol no frankly they are shit.

Wanli.

I suspect they were made in a jungle clearing somewhere.

Some yoko A539's are in order.

gis · 04-17-2007, 07:21 PM

lol.yoko's are great tyres.my dad had some on his golf and they were fantastic.before i come there i think mods or new car are needed to keep up the pace,only chance i have is in the corners.lol

topgeartom · 04-17-2007, 07:27 PM

lol, im not that quick really, my mate in his 60bhp 205 diesel is the fastest thing you will come across over those roads. Quite how he makes it go so quick i have no idea.

gis · 04-17-2007, 07:31 PM

he aint screwing with you guys is he and it actually has a GTI engine in there,lol
