If i want to fit a new bootlid onto the car (which will be sprayed) should i look for a poor condition black one? ie. if I supply a red one and ask the painter to spray black he would then have to prep/spray the underside?

Very hard to find a black bootlid, I do have a red one but not sure if worth painting. No doubt covering the red paint on the underside would be a pain...

Any thoughts?

I'm not sure if ham is being serious or not. kinda hard to tell in text, but thanks anyways :turned:

Whole car is legal height, cat is just on 100mm. Fronts are poking out a little bit, i'll ask the dudes to camber it in a tiny bit when getting the alignment done. Only thing police can really defect me for is tint. (and being too stiff?)

I'm quite happy with the result, glad I didn't go +0 (current +20)

dead serious man... it's totally practical (well what i would call practical) looks tuff and wont attract cops unless they are SUPER bored.

little more poke on the rears could be nice but i'll wait for a front/rear shot to judge

Will grab a front and rear tomorrow. Looks a lot better irl as every other car does.

Glad people think it looks good. Wasn't really sure with the gun metal centres, as I haven't seen it before on a silver civic.

Me = Happy

And I made it up alvins driveway. that's a plus.

scirocco R is same price (thereabouts) and FWD. while it looks baller from the front and side the ass is epic fail.

golf R is 4wd - similar system to the GTR but it is front wheel biased. so when you are putting around the city or a hwy it's fwd to save fuel but when you pin it, it can throw up to 100% to the rears.

also i wont be buying new.

should get you to come past where I had my car tuned, get some rides in golf r's, modded gti's etc and see how they go

a lot of the guys tend to head towards the gti's because they are more nimble being lighter and get cools pops/bangs over the r's for some reason

reckon ill make it up?

Interesting you say that Nick, cause there was a magazine shoot out a while ago, where they got tuning workshops to modify their choice of car (under a certain cost, like 60k) and the same drivers to test them all around a track. The GTIs kicked ass once modified and were actually quicker around that track than the modified R32, from memory.

Probably, try it! You got even less overhang than me. Only thing i'd worry about is your exhaust.

haha i have no rear muffler now anyway, completely straight through :P

Yeah I was surprised to hear it, but it does make sense

I'd say the R's would be really useful on a full hills run to make use of the 4wd

the older mk5's are still the v6 na so they get blitzed by the gti's unless you drop the twin turbo kits on them which are like $10k :S

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
