I absolutely love that 356.

Brought to you by the same guys that created that white VW Brasilia and that aircooled Mk3 Golf.

Different camera angles make this look pretty nice.

Buller you are always a laugh. LOL @ ripping on oxers honda.

Show me one car that looks better with wheel gap then without wheel gap!

Was the guy telling you not to do burnouts a fat awkward azn?

I'm pretty tempted to give these bends you keep talking about a go.

Regarding a car that looks better with a big wheel gap, I would say Land Rover Defender But yeh an actual car that looks better with big wheel gap I must say probably doesn't exist.

Sacrilege, a front engined 356 D: Regardless though, it still looks pretty nice.

Front engined? Not sure if you're serious... That's the air compressor and valves for the air suspension.

Wow Must remember to not comment on pictures while using phone. And viewing a photo around 50X50 pixel. You're right lol. Brought it up on my PC and thought it looked a bit weird for an engine and then realised :/ How embarrasing lol

Speaking of 356s...

My Uncle dug out an original set of Carrera 4 cam pistons and aluminium cylinders and showed me today.. They're aluminium with a chromed bore and 'pits' for oil retention. Apparently a Mahle process.. Pretty cool for their day.

Hey Scott.

I mean this in the nicest possible way.

1) You have no idea what the stanceworks community is about.

2) There is no point saying "I'm faster than your lowered car" (I'm paraphrashing) when they person you're saying it to, doesn't give a damn about going fast.

hey guys, been MIA for a couple weeks.

and jarred - 1) you might just be right. not to clutch at straws, but my statements were made particularly after my trip to-fro sydney, during which my suspension is rooted.

2) agreed.

3) your pt 1. and pt2. - i agree with those.

so yeah

when i splat sheight out on this forum, i know that there are people who i have met many a time who i also respect greatly (such as yourself, jarred), whom i have no right nor interest to say "low is ghey" to....

as i said in my "farewell to low" post in the 9n3 section - i think what the VAG scene and others, looks awesome. you've got more balls than i do, to do what you do (dooty to doo doo).

so yeah. if i offended anyone and they bit back - lol. i'll still have a beer with you next time i'm at tim's...

so no hard feelings whatsoever yeah?

never ripped on "oxer's'' honda intentionally, however i have come to see that this... low.... car... r7ped by swirl marks etc - apparently that's a no-go zone, as in... careful, dont tempt fate, or something? cars look mediocre but as long as they're low then i'd better back the fork off?

now, dado, you need to understand that as much as you're heavily emotionally invested in the apparent fact that this guy is god, fact remains that the car's tyres and trim didnt have so much as a smidge of touch-up... the car looked shieght. that is fact. oops... soorry... it was low... apparently telling the truth is a no-go, daddo?

i've been a few places that will reward complacency and utter fear - this, is not one of them. DO NOT, daddo, presume to make me fear some guy who's been washing his car with sandpaper.... no.... lol....

and yes. the guy who kept on drilling the point into me (and the dudes i was hanging with) skull was precisely that - but i cannot fault him as opposed to actually spending actual money on DCShoeCo stuff (such as snowboard boots and outerwear), he just had a....... flat brimmed hat.... so respect to him for his $25 investment....

Ha.. I'll have a crack in the Caddy.

by all means.

my piece of sh7t polo looks stock as fork. come.... we can have a cup of coffee or something, and then we'll go for a drive.

i'm used to being ''ha-ha''d at, given that i drive a hairdresser blue stock LOOKING polo dee-zel.

actually - nevermind.... yep. my car's slow.... beleeee-dat.

lol. yep. forumstatus > what suspension and tyres im running daily......

RIP Carroll Shelby - a true inspiration

[Mk3 AAA]

Carroll Shelby, a huge inspiration to me as a once young aspiring car designer. Loved his mix of tasteful ageless design, and brutal power-trains.

Loved the Cobra since I saw Cannonball Run about age 4, still love his interpretation of the AC Cobra.




It's no wonder the 427 is replicated so often.



Was a dapper fellow as he got older...




and the moviestar that he signed off on a limited number of to make them legitimate Shelbys

Mate i dunno how came to that reply from my post?

I tried to be friendly and have a larf with you and your stupid comments but if you want to be a smart ass then so be it.

I don't think that guy is a god and I'm not emotionally invested or what ever crap flows from you big head down your arms and on to your key board. Not that i said anything the indicate that i thought he was a god or that i even liked his car.

You fail to understand anything about the car.
You think its all sweet to call it as you see it and believe people will reward you for it but you are blind and you don't see ***** so when you talk its all ***** and you just look like an idiot who doesn't understand anything.

The main thing you don't understand is that he doesn't think his car is anything to be applauded, in fact he thinks its wierd that people do and just sort of ignores the 12yr olds that do, but does get annoyed when people like you start to talk **** about something they have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA ABOUT.

Why you think i like POS cars is beyond me. Check my mk1....

I never said (directly or indirectly) you should should fear anything, although people like me do reply to you, at the end of they day you haven't done *****, you haven build ****, you haven't contributed **** and all you seem to do is talk rubbish based on your personal opinion which is all the knowledge you really have as you have CLEARLY displayed. I understand you like you handling and you clean cars...so why don't you build a clean car that handles well and learn to drive it? Then you words will have a bit of weight when you say negative stuff about cars that are not clean or don't handle well.

There is never a reason to fear someone because of how they wash their car, or what sand paper or tire shine they use. There is however a reason to fear someone when you talk **** about them and make rubbish assumptions, then their easily aggravated friends who know you and your car read it and laugh at first, then tell him, then he reads it and doesn't share the same humor, he gets annoyed and slightly upset, then you post more rubbish, and he gets more annoyed, then his friends get annoyed, then you come to a meet with 2 friends and there are 20 people who are annoyed at you. I'm not saying that anyone will waist their time with you, I'm just saying that its something i would fear over sandpaper.

I have no idea where you where going with the talk about clothing and the wonky azn guy.......

The correct spelling is Dado.



I just love this.

Let's not turn this into boostcruising guys.
The forum is first and foremost a vw owners forum, not a car modification/build thread site.

Sorry mate.
Just annoyed that he thinks its okay to talk crap.
"now, dado, you need to understand that as much as you're heavily emotionally invested in the apparent fact that this guy is god"
that part really got me and even after agreeing with Jrad and saying he understands he continues without understanding.
