Cheers guys :)

Clutch has started slipping so its time to get saving for a new one...was still pulling on a modded mk5 r32 though ;)

Well, you have a rally car.

Not a family hatch with a V6 weighing the front down. ;)

Everyone always goes on about how heavy evos are but i bet that its the same if not lighter than your average hot hatch, practical too with the 4 doors...really dont know why anyone would pick a hot hatch

Lovely. Great wheel choice too. Not sure about the aftermarket headlights though...

How is everyday economy on these, out of interest?

Driving sensibly it isnt toooo bad, only 60quid too fill it soo it looks like it uses more fuel on the gauge than it actualy does

Im giving it an oil change every 4k with plugs an filter done every second oil change. Got a timing belt to go on it in the next couple of months

Tbh aslong as its a good example then it shouldnt take much more than that other than the usal stuff like brakes an stuff

Very nice. Love the wheels.

The quality of the welds on the jmf one i have now fitted is miles apart from the old one...no wonder they have a lifetim garantue
