I doubt it was a placebo.. They should've made a hell of a difference considering the state of the ones that were in it! :)

Well they were better than the CJ8's out of the victa I was using so yes.

Just got the ATS back from straightening at Neales wheels - now I am just needing to polish them, re black the centres and wait for my next spare $ for the Federal 595 SRS and I'll be giggling like a school girl.

I think half the fun in playing with cars is doing it yourself. It always ends up being a love/hate relationship but at the end of the day its nice when you can sit back and say "I did that"
I think I get just as much of a kick out of tinkering as I do driving.

I'm hearing that. I have more fun building things than using them generally. Over the break I put one of my old Karts back together and it was uber satisfying.. I don't even have a plan to use it any time soon! haha.

I know what you mean. I am so looking forward to modifying my car once I get it through rego.

The MK1 is starting from cold and idles without smoking out the neighbourhood - so stoked.

A sibling arrives for the MK1 tomorrow. She might be a bit jealous as it is a bit bigger than her, and will be dropping a bit more money on it in the short term. Pretty excited. More details to come in another thread over the weekend.

You're spending money on a non MK1???

Isn't the MK1 the only VW worth spending money on? :bowdown:
