Ok so this is actually a sneaky test post to see if the new Blogger app is any good.

That aside, our beloved Gaybours (yes, that's our gay neighbours) are moving out so threw loads of stuff out...including this beauty. So I snagged it, cleaned it up and now we're ready to rock!!

Okay okay, I've had a bunch of people pestering me for an Edition post for this year, apparently I got quite a few fans of last year's. I've been meaning to do one but as many of you know my day job is taking up a ton of headspace at the mo so struggling to squeeze things in. I'll hook y'all up with a post this weekend along with a million snaps I took using my professional photographer's kit of choice...iPhone4s and Instagram ;-D Hold your horses kids, BRB.

Been kinda off the boil the past couple of years or so with the whole modding caper, which can easily be seen when you look at the state of the VR. So, time to put things right. Plans are simple. The VR is battle worn so no point spending all my dollars getting her perfect so I'm gonna have some fun. So what's the plan? First up, get her through the MOT this week, bald tyres everywhere so I've resurrected my 15x8 Revolution hoops with silly low ET and strapped some spanking new 185/55/15 Nankang rubber on em.

Rough and ready style, Autosol, tin foil and elbow grease with a look to painting the lips down the line. The rest of the plans are simple.

Before and after... Well it took some doing, in fact it took about 10 months, things take a bit longer when you're skint don't they. So the cack OZs have finally gone to the basement to be replaced by the 17" BBS Monzas (mk5 gti) and the worn koni suspension kit made way for some sweet FK Konigsport coilovers. Nice. We basically loaded my boot up with all the gear: shocks, adaptors (the BBS are 5x112 pcd as opposed to my 5x100 hubs), brakes and rims. As with anything to do with cars, nothing really went to plan. Removing shocks was surprisingly straightforward, but when we came to fit the brakes....it turned out the so-called 288mm discs I bought were actually 280mm, which aint any use really, so that had to be scrapped. Secondly, fitting adaptors was a cinch but when we came to fit the rims it turned out that the wheel bolts I'd been driving around on where wrong. The bolts were slightly too long and the seat was too deep. None of this mattered on the old rims as they...
