What is ridiculous is it has about 800 more horsepower at 260mph. That would be some ride.

Stop with the teasing joddi lol, lets see them.

"feathered it up to 200 mph..."

Nelson Racing is serously top notch, I've been astounded by their work ever since I read about the F-Bomb camaro project they did with Hot Rod Magazine.

Jodz, let me know how those weight jackers go, I need something to replace the stock LCA's that I box welded last summer. Too much wheel hop!

deadcity, NICE GTIs! both of them! i never see the Mk4 in black where i live but i have to say it's good. any mod list for the daily driver or is it strictly a daily driver?

resolution, well worth taking a break from the shoe game. she looks gorgeous.

It is my daily driver and its completely standard in that pic, apart from the German Spec number plates. Since that photo was taken at ED38 its had Montreal II wheels (GTI options extra wheels in the UK), dropped 40mm so its not too low for daily use, but reduces the arch gap, US spec GTI rear lights and a smaller aerial off a civic so it doesn't look like a remote controlled car. Enignie is the standard 1.8t.

Cant think of all the mods on the MK1, I bought it as a non runner, with a bad paint job. Mods I can think of off the top of my head: Full respray, single light grille, 80mm drop, 14" BBS, mohair roof, new dashboard, new interior, black badges...

My radiator decided to take a shit on me today.

Late last year I picked up a set of Enkei 92's. When I received them I quickly realized they weren't anywhere near as nice as I thought they'd be. They were dinged, scratched, some had serious flatspots and they were quite oxidized. Anyways, I decided to make the best of them and try to refinish them as best as I could...
They came to my door looking like this:

I've only "finished" one of the four. I made a mold to hammer the flatspots out, then chemically stripped the paint off. Took a wire brush to the back of them, and used plenty of scotchbrite, toothbrushes, steel wool, and got the remaining paint off. After that, I masked the lips and painted them. After drying the paint, I polished the lip as well as I could get it. All in all I have about 10 hours of tedious work into this one wheel alone. It's not perfect but it'll have to do I guess!
