The guy I work with has a white Scirocco with the Tan leather. Very nice car.

[Mr-Megalo]

the new scirocco is a very common car to see around here at the moment, saing that, its not like the R35 is exactly uncommon round here either

[tetsujin]

GT TDI! hahaha I do alot of miles with work though so...

Hey, Mr Megalo, I used to have an R32 ages ago, GTR I take it judging by the interior. Nice cars until they break.

[Mr-Megalo]

yea they've mainly been diesel ones i've seen too.
yea, its an R32 GTR (well spotted btw) aka Nissan ****

[penrhos]

Hmmmm,

I'll stick to my Fiesta ST (150bhp) and you can get a Naomi universal in the back.

[Pete]

My car feel nicer to drive now I've got my Eibach's fitted.

Even though the cars lower, the ride over bumps is improved thanks to the harder springs.

Shame VX just replaced my back springs for free only for me to drive 40 miles on them & swap em out for better 1's.

Hmmmm,

I'll stick to my Fiesta ST (150bhp) and you can get a Naomi universal in the back.

yeah, I currently have a 08 plate Golf 5 door and thats ideal for shifting all sorts of stuff but the boot on the Scirocco is pretty poor for getting things in the small hatch but then I dont plan on buying anymore cabs after IC09 unless and Aero Table comes up!

[Pete]

So you got to keep the Golf then ?

[Retro_Boy_G]

Been working on my Civic a bit more recently and took some pictures the other day.. (i have new back lights on it since i took these ones though).

The RX7 has it's first MOT today under my ownership... It's going to fail quite badly .

[John James Pacinelli]

Nice car. Just out of curiosity, what do the stickers mean? (EP Squad, JDM)

[Retro_Boy_G]

JDM stands for Japanese Domestic Market and EP is the shape of the Civic.. Mine is an EP2 which is the sport.

Still got a few things needing done to it and then i'm finished.

[Nightstalker]

Makes him feel like a street racer

[Retro_Boy_G]

haha, you obviously have never driven a EP2.. I'd get my **** handed to me by pretty much anything else on the road!

[Mr-Megalo]

Gianni, what you expecting the Rex to fail on ? emissions or welding

Christ knows why it took this long for me to see this thread!!!

fagin - I guess you must know of my cousin's company Ecu Tek. Superchipping Subarus. His one's only 475bhp. He has a new Nissan GT-R as well, for development purposes.

My car is Tony Montana's car

Old but got us from London to IC09 in half an hour.
Had it over 11 years now.

[fagin]

Del,
If you are referring to Dave Power.... yes I do know him.

I heard the gearbox on his GTR let go recently.

[markedkiller78]

What is that Del an S2?
