hi guys, aside from my st170 turbo project iv got, i just bought myself a diesel runaround!!




97k, full service, climate, cruise, 2 owners and its minty mint!!

apart fromt he colour lol. apparently its `platinum silver`

im not too keen on the wheels though,
18inch FOX RS3 running 235/40/18 tyres

id prefer the originals like these


so if any body is interested in buying the fox wheels or a px/ swap let me know

anyway. the plans are just an st220 recaro interior , lower it and chip it up with a k&n panel.

its the 130 version and its torquey as fook! it feels quicker then the st170!!

any hints on one of these?

jammerrs

looks nice that, i think the wheels you want will make the colour seem better, it looks a bit europan with the wheels and colour lol

the only thing ive heard people say thats wrong with them is the brakes that arent really up to the job if you push it

apart from that there wicked and i love em

Those original wheels will suit it much better
And the 130 version does drives great

Looks fab! I've got almost the same car (same colour, but Ghia hatch - TDCi 130 as well )

I like the original wheels, but I'm after some centre caps for mine as one of them's missing
I'll post a pic of mine for comparison...

Im on the verge of buying one of these not as mint as your matey but still got basically the same plans you have. I looked into the chiping works out pretty damn good for diesels.

iv been thinking about selling it, its actually on ebay at the moment, but im in two minds.
iv just got hold of a set of the original alloys (diamond cut ones!) and a k&n panel to keep me interested for now

i think it needs some suspension + bush upgrades though!!
i also read that once these have been chipped these 130`s produce 395lb ft of torque! :O
