[SNH]

Steering boss was waiting when I got home

[SNH]

And fitted....

I will eventually get it trimmed.

You chose your 20s yet??

You chose your 20s yet??

There's a couple of oem styles that I fancy, it's just finding the bargains

[SNH]

Feels a lot better to drive with than the standard wheel. Just need to decide whether I want to keep the suede or go leather when I get it trimmed.

[SNH]

Currently broken!

Been stuck on the drive for the last week with the red steering wheel light on the dash and no steering!

Hoping that adaption with vcds sorts it.

[SNH]

MASSIVE thanks to Ben of shark performance fame for going out of his way to come over and fix the car tonight.

No doubt after a long day doing his thing at shark HQ and to then come after hours is above and beyond.

Very much appreciated.

I owe you one

[SNH]

While it's been off the road I've been driving the maverick, it's a fun thing tbh. Drifts well too

Shhhh don't tell our lass tho

[SNH]

Fixed

Temporary gauges to fill the holes.

[SNH]

Wheel hunting is turning out to be a bit more difficult this time round. Nothing's jumping out at me :(

I don't like it that much

It'll never see £1k wheels that's for sure lol

[dohboy78]

Fair dos... Will keep my eyes peeled.

[SNH]

Flocked a pillar pod and pass A pillar and maybe the catch can pcv delete will be up for sale later.

Looking for a Range Rover or and x5 to replace it.

[SNH]

Parts now listed in the FS section

[SNH]

All the good bits are sold (apart from the pillar pod) and are due to be collected tomorrow so this is how it's staying.

The end of another projects era....

I'm done with the whole modifying cars lark now although the steering wheel is going on the 4x4 along with a jbl ice install comprising of 4 6.5" speakers and 2 8" subs in a custom box to keep as much space as possible.

This thread probably won't get updated anymore now but I'll stick around while I still own it.

Sorry to hear you lost interest but as you get older you seem to lose the motivation but your car will still make a nice everyday car and will be less hassle worrying about scraping over things and you can just drive it

I'm declaring mine sorn in a couple of days as tax is up at end of the month and to be honest it hasn't moved since August and don't really care.

[SNH]

I've been pondering over it for a while tbh, I've not really got time for it and now the daughters got even more involved with horse eventing it'd clash with most car shows next year anyway.

I'm the only one that can tow the horsebox so I'd rather see her having fun than me wasting money

Plus I enjoy driving the 4x4 more than I do the car lol. No need to worry about parking, scraping wheels or speed bumps

sorry to see this come to an end (you had my FMIC right at the start) I have gone to range rover and am loving it, not the fastest thing around but absolutley love driving it!.

 

 its going the same way as my VRS, forever buying bits for it, got a tuning box on it at the moment which makes a big difference but going back to R-tech in the near future for a re-map.

 

[SNH]

Alright dude, that was something else that never got fitted lol.

Range looks well, tdv6? I'm swaying more towards one but swmbo likes the x5 so we shall see

[Jimmy C]

2 owners and never been fitted lol, yeah its the TD6 (straight 6), I looked at X5's but the rangie has much better interior luxury (mines the vogue) and i prefer the overall look of it, lovely to drive and with the tuning box i'm seeing about 25-26 MPG around town and about 30-32 on a motorway run which is quite good considering it weighs 2.5 Tonnes

[SNH]

Had a play in a tdv8 the other day and all tho it was awesome on road and as comfy as hell it struggled on a bit of mud. All the gadgets and gizmo's switched on and still struggled unfortunately.

No good to me when pulling the horses through fields and the likes :(

[SNH]

Wow, long time no visit. While I've been having a laugh with the 4x4 http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/332668-sis-maverick-4x4-full-stainless-side-exit/?view=getnewpost

The Mrs has been running this into the ground and generally abusing it.

I recently took it off the road and parked it up as I'd lost the love for it and couldn't decide whether to sell it on or not tbh.

Those that have browsed the truck thread will know I've got a love for car audio and my most recent project is a bit of a snug fit in the truck and defeats the object of me trying to keep as much space in it as possible

This leads me back to the vrs....

Massive boot with plenty of room, let's check..

Few mods and it's in with room to spare

So now it's got me thinking about re doing it ready for next year's shows.

Box is for a single 18" sub and tuned to 32hz, needs some tlc but there's no rush.

We shall see what happens but there could be a light at the end of the tunnel for the vrs
