165 versus 205

[Wiggy]

No carpet in the car = very noisy sound of stones hitting the underside of the car....lol....its amazing what a bit of carpet does....

Its louder than the Blitz exhaust and that takes some beating....lol

I'll never sell the car though, so resale doesn't bother me 

Wasting people in brand new, so called sports cars is worth it...the look on their face is great....

I'm with you coyoteboy!  i have the full castrols on, but i dont think i could do to full strip out cos i am currently selling (bump!!).  you can only go so far... then SWMBO starts to complain and that puts paid to that!

Pic of the 2 cars on the drive as promised. As I said, its a crap picture. The 165 has had a few more mods since this including the coilovers, so it sits nice a low now.

I hope you are taking good car of that orange car?

[Wiggy]

ello m8, yep the orange beasty is getting treated as it should. But its also getting driven as it should as well 

Got a few extra mods and things planned for it in the new year though, including a trip to the ring sometime next year hopefully. Have to wait and see once I'm all moved into the new gaff with bigger garage 

Hows things anyway m8?

I wouldn't mind getting mine on a weighbridge at some point, no AC/ABS/sunroof/elec seats, carpets, rear seats, or panels, and a lightweight bonnet. As Wiggy points out, I'm not worried about re-sale either, too  much time and money invested in fun.

Keep us posted on the modding matey

Cheers

Yeah am fine. Did you ever get the mapping finished on Pauls car? Hows the 165? I've got half a notion of another 1 but I don't know yet I'm enjoying the vag scene

[Wiggy]

yeah been playing around with the maps and its running pretty good now.

165 is still here and used alot more than the 205. I only really play with the 205 at the weekend when I'm not surfing  bit cold for both at the moment though...Well this weekend was anyway, I got brain freeze from the water on Saturday it was that cold....Bbrrrrr

[strapper]

You will be growing long hair next for the surfer look
You do realise that the English Channel has all the jobbies floating in it that comes downfrom scotland
What mods are you planning?

[Wiggy]

Good job its the Atlantic Ocean then eh 

Mods....well the engine is pretty much sorted, may eventually stick a slightly smaller turbo on though to make it more fun to drive. At the mo, there is too much power at the top and nothing at the bottom. I may do the supercharger and turbo conversion me and Paul always talked about and never did using one off a MK 1 MR2 or something??

I'm going to keep my eyes open on some bits I want to make a home made shifter mech (sequential style) Again me and Paul talked of a few ideas and I have plenty of fag packet designs.

I think its going to end up as my track day car in all honesty. I rarely drive it and when I do its purely for fun. Once I move and have more room I going to invest in a trailer and stick a tow bar on the diesel estate to tow it around. I can also use it for the white one as well then.

All for much later next year though once I've moved, got settled, learned to surf for my holiday to the Maldives in May so I don't get eaten by a tiger shark....lol
