Apparently the B6T has stronger valve springs & obviously, sronger rods so, it gets a bit deep really ![]()

hey, the Intake Manifold runners are pretty huge on the MX! Bit like the Boxy Plenum runners. She just needs a little hairdryer....just a little maybe? hehe
Seriously, it has positive, non-power steering, no A/Con etc. They kept them the basic little sports car I suppose. I think a turbo would defeat the purpose? Bloody noooice though? Gav, promise I'll take some snaps tomorrow & stick em up when I wack new wheels on OK? That's if the young toss stops friggin me around with pic up time. About to tell him to keep wheels ![]()

is that like the 4 TB as in the 20V engines? Gav shot me a pic of a set on EBay. Bit pricey though?

The car is looking great. But where chrome sets off well against red paint, I'm not a fan of those wheels.
![]() Does the car feel slower with those wheels on? Get yourself some slips on seat-covers and tinted windows and you're done. ![]() Gav. |

![]() ![]() ![]() Gav, I kneeeeeeeew you'd comment on the chrome! I luuuuuuuuvs chrome. I was born with a chrome tockle ![]() The car actually drives far far better & they give a softer ride, figure? The other tyre profile sucked! Wheels are in such good nick I couldn't believe it! 205/40/17's on em. Only mark is the slight edge in close-up photo.....bugger all!

I looked at an EK VTiR Shivikoo recently, and the guy who was selling it had those rims on his SAAB convertible. Except his were branded Enkei.
