Pimp my vario

[UncleFester]

Cheap reliable and something you know inside out so maintenance costs will be parts only - no labour.

So a minimum of 160bhp ... in a stripped out car with no weight, if you get anywhere near 200bhp it's going to be a real wolf in sheeps clothing!

it outdragged remapped LCR's when the engine was in the coupe (up to it's top speed, then stopped)

>200bhp, that's phase 2

Make the voices stop

These too

Its not undergone a cabriolet conversion so all is well...

 

[m0rk]

off work from now until Tuesday
hopefully the weather holds out tomorrow & I'll complete the wiring.

I seem to have procured a bit of a pimp dash... so the old clocks may well be going in the bin for something a lot sexier.

 

[UncleFester]

Hehe Astra GTE Digis?

Tomorrows weather is ment to be good so you should be in luck

 

[m0rk]

I'll post pics when it arrives, I may test fit to the 8v to prove out that it works

It's kinda sat with a fork in the road at teh moment..

it'll be a giggle anyway.

 

[Brummy]

not thinking of getting rid and keeping the GTi are you m0rk?

 

[m0rk]

nah, I like the Ibiza, but it's just day to day transport... looks like a 'warm' hatch, whereas the van doesn't (which was half the point)

Stealth wagon! You need some steels and fancy wheel trims

 

[Brummy]

agreed. seems every young lad in his (or his mums) paxo wants to 'have a go' at the GTi's, yet you could have a fair bit of fun in the Vario

G60 Steelies are on a potential wheel list, but it means reverting to 280's - bit of a step down from 312's with Carbon Mettalic race pads

It's pretty tiresome.. I had some wideboy trying it on the way home tonight in a 106 with a wikid exhaust that I could hear when I was ahead of him, with my radio on. he kept going past at 90, then hitting the brakes until I drew level then booting it again. :w4nk:

I should have tagged him & put him in the armco
