The Vento

[Surfpig]

I thought I'd better start a thread with this car...

Swapped my mk2 gti for this vento (anthony-t old one). Drives good just needs a few things fixed up and ill be driving this daily. Ill let the photos do most of the talking.
As it looked when i picked it up




It already had coils on it, so the first thing i did after owning it for two days was slam it...

I got together with a few guys and in about an hour it was done



Fresh off the jack


And a few photos after a wash and once the coils settled a bit.







And just on Friday i got these wheels in the mail! Super keen to get these on and just drive the crap out of it. I think with the black trim they should fit in real well.



Ill keep the progress posted.

Cheers brad.

Yeah man it's sick. Passenger side? Was it just a matter of plugging and un plugging?

[Surfpig]

Yeah pretty much. I unplugged the switch on the drivers side aswell. And disconnected the connection to the motor. But yeah then it worked.

Only thing that i need to sort out is the weird miss firing it does when under acceleration when a tad cold.

Re: The Vento

Ebay wheels, awesome. What tyres are you thinking about wrapping around them?

[Surfpig]

195/45/15 or 185/45 i think. I want just enough stretch to fit them while this low, but be able to drive it everyday of you get what i mean?

I had 185/45's on my Vento, looked awesome but sucked as a daily. If you want a little more comfort, decent lows, nice tuck and zero scrub go for 175/55's...best tyre size choice I ever made. Looks a bit fatter than a 45 though.
Is your Vento auto or manual?

Man-you-al
Its basically riding on the bump stops at the moment and i drove a slammed beetle for almost a year so this should be alright... I hope Haha

Re: The Vento

[Surfpig]
