Anyway id rather keep my thread clear of all this, so unless you two want to grow up id rather you keep out and leave me to my business?
Grow up? All I have done is make a post in here trying to calm the waters a little and you suggest I am one of two who need to grow up. Just because I don't like what you are doing to your car does not make me immature. It is called having a different opinion. Deal with it.

If you want to be left to your business might I suggest you don't post pics of your car on a public discussuion forum!!!

Really? you'd rather people posted what you'd like to hear rather than opinions about how you've ruined a perfectly good car by "improving its handling" your words not mine. The fact this thing can't even traverse a speed bump without removing a few front end parts is hardly an improvement in my humble opinion. So in a nutshell you need to grow up a bit and expect that people have different views to you.

Kids eh! DCI

Tom,

great thread and not my cuppa tea but its nice to see someone taking their own direction with things.

As for DCI, rising to his baiting is exactly what he wants just ignore him he's an idiot.

Right been waiting for photobucket to let me post my pics again, something about bandwidth....??

Anyway, been playing with the ride height again, found the fronts are seized solid so arent moving anywhere atm, but the rears are about right....atm. Planning to get arches rolled properly next year so i can go even lower

Also bought some colourcoded rear spats and sideskirts, fitting them ASAP. And also bought a big V6 rear spoiler.....seems that everyones de spoilering them now, and it was too cheap to pass up really. Also fitting ASAP And planning on getting some of these in the near future



Some more recent pics aswell after a good polish....

Looks so fresh, better than the usual/common way of modding Scoobys. You got the best colour for a Scooby too!! Leave it spoilerless, but how about a high level spoiler on top of the rear window?

Good job your doing mate.

Just cleaned the engine bay up quickly whilst fitting strut brace. 10 years of dirt and grime is really hard to get off lol!





And also got new valve caps through finally



STILL waiting for red center caps, been over a month now and really getting pissed off waiting for them.

And thinking about spraying the blue ends of the strut brace, red. But will do it when i have the time in couple of weeks

Yeah going to spray the ends, got the paint waiting aswell! We'll see what the weather is like tommorow

Fitted the big gay wing last night, still unsure about it though. Looks ace from the back, but still looks like somethings missing from the front. Once the splitter is on it will look 10x better me thinks

Leave the spoiler off i reckon

How do you keep your valve caps? Never kept an aftermarket set on mine for more than 2 days The kids seem to like them.

Looks spot on fella. Like the way you have gone about it personally. Different.
Any pics of the spoiler on? Personally I think it looks good without it.

Are you changing the headers or anything? Will give it more of the Flat Four burble.

Loving those wheels. Suit the classics very well.

Enjoying seeing it come together mate.

No spoiler or splitter needed imo, looks good as it is.

I needed a splitter on mine as I have a fmic to cover but didn't want one. I decided to extend the bumper instead. Subtle and oem but still gives that slightly lower look I wanted/needed. (pics in my garage)
