    Can't wait to see the car in person, tho I dunno if I could live without aircon and a stereo lol. Maybe aircon, but not without music D:

    Ever had it dyno'd? What sort of kw-per-tonne have you got there? Stock weight is what 1.2t, what's yours at?

    I like your style Alex!

    I wouldn't be too keen on spraying the back area black, just because it'll attract a buck load of heat if nothing else!

    How's the noise with nothing back there? Ear bleed much??

    Get out the angle grinder and cut out the rear seat support, that'll save a few kgs...

    Looking good mate! If u have a look at a lot of motorsport cars they dont really go for the black interior. Maybe just give it another coat of clean whit

    Yeah Alex I'd go for a white again but maybe a satin white if you don't want shine? I think satin white (or even a metal grey colour?) would look awesome!

    dude, you're VR6 looks sweet in the flesh, i know cause i spotted you last night!

    i was heading out of West End via the William Jolly Bridge, then Caxton St and ICB.

    I was in the Ming blue Audi A3T, was in front of you for a bit. I was mighty impressed bro. looks tuff! love the Vento front end too. It had me confused til i read this, your headlights in my rear view mirror did but didn't look mk3, and i was confused... but of course Vento!

    Respect

    Everyone should feel very jealous, I got to ride with Alex round the mountains on the cruise on Sunday! If you thought the car looked fast, then you'd be very very right, it's an absolute animal through the corners, and on the straights he only used all the revs a few times, mostly changing at 4k, which was more than enough I thought.

    Slight scrubbing every now and then, but the Golf Gti's couldn't even keep up with it. Brembo's are amazing, stopped the car like nothing else, and there wasn't any bodyroll at all.

    A couple of rattles to fix maybe hey alex but otherwise I thought it went really well. What sort of speeds were we going round those really wide bends on the way to mt tamborine? I couldn't see the speedo..

    But yea, thanks for giving me a ride, it was the most fun I've had in a long time, very inspirational for when I finally get my car
