            • Not really my thing (as in I wouldn't own it), but that's pretty cool. I love old school graffiti.

                Hahaha thanks for the compliments guys, i guess i just dont want to be like every other mk1 in the world with the exact same mods. I like to be a bit different, very different LOL. It means alot when people appreciate the work i've done and the difference between others

                And preeny i guess we're all entitled to our opinions aye

                  • Very different! that fender looks awesome. I think the stickered bumper and lip make it a little too busy, but hey, if you like it go with it

                    Some smaller tyres would look badass (as in smaller profile, I know they are like 165 wide or something)

                      Haha. Definitely. I like it. The graffiti and the stickers are way cool. It's just not the direction I would take.

                        Dan has hit the nail. I say put a sr20det out of a pulsar SSS. now that would be off it's face and just as individual as the exterior.. (I am goin to cop it for that comment no doubt)

                          Firstly, SR20DET is the turbo engine. The SSS has an SR20DE.

                          Secondly.. Please.. Please please PLEASE don't do that. If you want 16 valves and a turbo, the KR/9A/ABF would be much nicer and bolt in..

                          Unless you want huge power, turbo 8vs are a proven winner. Hell, even a warm 1.8 or 2L 8v will put a grin on your face..

                            Haha yeah josh you'd be wrong buddy, i know its the GTI-R's that have the turbo setup, but the engine escapes me, wouldnt be a RB would it?

                            Well i dont think im goin gto be turbo'ing anything untill i get it to fuel injection, and i definately wont be able to afford a 16v, even if i was i wouldnt do it on mine. I'de like a brand new shell that hasnt had any prangs to make a good start.

                            Im keeping my 65hp engine and im just going to work on that to make it a efficient daily, and maybe throw in a turbo (on my p's haha -.-) just for the sound of the blow of valve. I dont need to stereotype myself with the rest of the young kids killen themselves with quick cars ..
