Re: Ben vs Mk3. Round 2.

So bored :p been wanting to make some gifs for ages, said I was going to post up videos for people when I first got bags, but never got around to it. Is definitely interesting to watch what the wheels and stuff do, I'd never watched properly from outside the car til I video it today, might post up the real clips, they're 300x clearer

You have a cabby. Thats cheating


Put some work in today on this thing, cleaned the **** out of the inside, finished up the final touches of the boot install such as extending and hiding all wires (brake lights and rear speakers, rear LED's etc) and putting the rear seats back in, with the carpeted trim panels I made for the backs of them. Had to cut some holes in the back of the right side seat to get it to fit back in, tank is a couple mm too long and so one of the plugs on one of the ports was stopping it from going back in. Can't really tell with the carpet over it, looks pretty good actually

Also wired up the lights and such for the gauges and put them in a gauge panel thing which goes in this part, and changed the lights in the air gauges to white LED's to match the new voltage gauge (pretty much just got the voltage one to fill the last hole, although it is cool to watch and good to check I don't drain the battery too much using the compressors/sound system without the car running)

Car was still a mess when I took this photo, and it didn't turn out well, but you get the idea


Put up BFI air freshener


And photos of the finally finished boot install

Got tyres ready for your RS's? Found one shop so far selling 195/40/16's for 200 each. Lemme know if you find any good sizes/deals, I think we've got similar specs man.

Ill get price of my tyre guy this afternoon to give you blokes an idea for a 195/40/16

[Ben J]

My RS are only 15's so I'll be looking for 195/45/15's. Have had a bit of a look but haven't found many decent priced places around unfortunately :/

Have put some more work into this car over the last week or two, and am heading out to a guy who is an amazing fabricator tomorrow to get a couple more things done, so I'll do a bit of an update after that

Had a puncture in one of the rear tyres repaired today and got a new (well used) VR6 BBS off Ray (thanks again!!) to replace the one which was broken when I had a front spacer break, and so had a tyre changed over to that and put that on too. Feels good to not have to top up the tyres every morning (even though it is super easy with the air setup, have a tyre inflator hooked up to it )
