Only reason i've not considered one is that it's irreversible. Well, that is unless you don't mind not bonding it properly and risk potentially losing it somewhere. :P

Personally I'd go for springs every day of the week if there was a choice of either or...

I remember when every farmer up here had those cars after the 405 and 305 van epidemic :pac:

So if I were you, I'd look at this instead (minus the extortionate price of this one!)

Them yokes are bullet proof.

Lads odd question, lowering springs or rear diffuser first ?

Have some extra money next week and getting some Team Heko wind deflectors and one or the other, rprings will work out over a hundred quid more but it's one or the other

My advice is, get that ST LOW

It does look better though, noticed he has a january sale too so postagewise might be worth in throwing a splitter too which would probably make it same pricewise as the eibachs+fitting (Yes im a big mechanical chicken and don't want to risk doing damage) will prolly end up needing spacers then too as the 19 inch rims are feckin huge

Oh why is nothing simple ><

I learned to drive in a 1980 passat hatchback with no power steering.

The Ventos/Jettas are not much better.

And you'll look like the Oliver Twist of the farming world, two decades out of touch

Does that help?

/has not much love for VWs of the 80/90s era, even if that poxy passat had 300k miles on it.

No. Just no. Think of the money you'd be spending, you've far better options.

Are you bringing decorative materials if he arrives in the vento?

I'm bringing my studded leather slapping glove. There's no forgiveness.

I'll bring my spare crutches if I do get to go. They are red. The blood won't show and it will easily wash off too.

Cian is going to be much worse than me, I'm just backup

Seriously though, why would you? Horrible rattly dieselly yoke that some auld fart like my ex drove like ****e, then it gets dollied up, still looks like a pigs ear no matter how much you try to make a silk purse out of it.

@DZ I didn't pass you on the M50 about 30 minutes ago taking the junction off for Dundrum did I? Passed a white 95 Levin, thought it might have been you?:D

No not me I'm afraid mine's a '99

I thought I saw you though over christmas in Ballsbride but I was too lazy to post it

And you're thinking of those other objects? :eek: You could get a 99 Alfa GTV for not much more, lower it, put a spoiler on it, make it into a cup replica etc.

Would you be getting rid of the levin?

Thankfully I've rarely been spotted while

out in my car

trying to control my road rage.

Ah sugar, you might have, I'm not far from there and I would have been doing Exams in the RDS at the time, mines a reasonably distinctive car I'd have thought?

Ded_Zebra

@ Stheno I could get something nice like that but could never afford the insurance, Think of it as a kind of a project. Take it from being a dirty heap of sh*t farmer car and turn it into a really clean heap of sh*t farmer car.

@166 It was dark red but I was only behind it and meant to ask if it was you at the time but forgot.

I think we should get a "was it you" thread (stolen idea from a different forum)

If it was 01 D 20*** then t'was most likely me...:D Great idea for a thread btw..



Also on a completely unrelated note, @Ardennes, would you consider something like this?

I know it ain't a 325i but I think it looks gorgeous....:o:D Inside your budget too IIRC?

From the ad:

very economical 50 euro a week on petrol for everyday us

Even for a "fake" M Sport that doesn't sound realistic!

And the price is a bit low is it not? Or have I just not realised it's 2013?

Around town I'd say it's a pig on fuel alright. Price is quite low alright, guess that's why it's tempting, it has already supposedly had a price drop though..
