That looks ace, the new wheels really set it off

A mates got a VR6 (Can see it in my avatar slightly) with a de-cat, cat back system and a ITG filter and the sound is immense, has a great roar to it

So are you keeping the Monte's Fro? I'd be tempted to possibly take them off your hands

Looks good on the new wheels! I couldn't believe how heavy the 6spokes are too! My standard 16's are just under 9kg a peice, the 17's mustn't be far off double that

Gav - working on cars is so much fun eh

Dave - with the pipe out of the airbox and high revs yes took the box outto drill it yesterday but couldn't find my drill

Adam - thanks Adam, you're friends one must be loud!

Tom - they're staying for now at least, when the tyres run down I'll either refurb them or change to a different set

ant - cheers yeah they felt Around double, no way I was going to put them on

went out for a play with 2 mates and their
mark 1 focus RS'. The golf wasn't too far off so was very impressed with it, definately surprised them

That's as low as it is going Lee

Jim - I thought 2 days would have been enough

Fitted front centres grill badge and plate.

Rear plate bolts are stuck tight so going to chisel them off tomorrow, and i need to remove the covers on the rear hubnuts so the centre caps fit. Will put them back on when i get spacers.

I'm with you on that one, got the tracking and camber done this morning, and one of the track rods + the end got blow torched to buggery and still wouldnt budge far enough So steering wheel is slightly out but everything else is cool so may just move it a spline or two to the right when i get a cleaner one
