    About time I made a thread for my Vento.

    Some would have seen it from the last few Qld euro meets.

    Plans are to find a wrecked VR6 with manual box and black leather interior and then swap out all the goodies.

    Currently the car is a standard 2.0 8v Auto with H&R Ultra Ultra low coilovers, Zender Sport 15x7 et31 with Michelin Pilot Sports, Thule 404 roof racks and 555 Fairing. Then theres the stickers, these are a short term thing until I get the car up to scratch.

    Anyway, now for the photos.

      Don't worry, the 8v will be going into my mk1 that's sitting in the garage.

              hey mate, the lip is the standard Vento/Jetta one. I do like it but I think a euro VR6 spoiler would be better. Thats with the coilovers down a bit. They go 5 inches lower than standard all up. If I was not running such massive tyres it would be a lot lower.

              Thanks for the compliments guys.

                Awesome!

                Out of curiousity, at that ride height, where do the spring perches on those H&Rs sit?

                  I'm glad you're going to keep it now Cam. That trip up to Brissie Friday made all the difference If you're ever in need of an extra set of hands give me a yell and I'll see if I can come help.

                              hey mate, my folks live in Benowa, I am in Arundel but yeah sure, would be great to get some pics.

                              The ultra ultra lows ride amazingly, they use bilstein shocks as a base so handle great too.
