Sparkle Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 fucking awesome. Brown one looks better than that yuck orange anyhow. Plz go for some wide 14/15s and sell rs5s for max profit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 ^ Then it's just a macabre clone. I say keep the RS5's and slam the crap out of it, and fit brakes which warrant having 17" wheels draped on top of them. Cool project though man!

NewGuy Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Tiote Project man. I know i should have just fixed my old shell after i crashed it but it would have still cost me more than what my current project has cost. Would be keen to do this conversion in the near future.

No he's saying a gold/brown one would. Which is right. I dug that orange so vote repaint, but mean all the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beige and dark brown are totally different colours as well. Ones light, ones dark. Anyway, red coloured centre rims would look cool with brown I reckon.

Snoozin Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I misread and thought you put 'steels' in there somewhere bro, since basically 9/10 times that's what you recommend Burnt orange on brown would be ACE colour scheme. But stick with the RS5's. Just make sure it's dropped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowlancer Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I vote repaint still. Not a fan of that colour at all, though it's not really important. And keep RS5s/sell and import something unusual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSM Garage Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hey Guys Shit, i didnt even realise that this Discussion was around. Shows how much attention i pay! I love the 80's brown and mite just respray it that colour. 13" rims are staying! haha. I wana suprise the hell outta people and look at there faces. Altho im not too sure if its going to be that quick. Heres hoping! I still have the RS5's, but im in 2 minds about them. They look cool, but they raise the car, and they attract unwanted attention. Me being paranoid. As for paint, what ya think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Ke36, ive been looking at your build closely. Im thinking of just widening, the 13"rims to 7" and putting some tiny tyres on. Try and strecth some 175/50/13's on I have no idea what power it was making. The guy who owned it before me, didnt get it dyno'd. He got it tuned (I dont know how without dyno) just so he can drive it in time for new years. 5 days apparently it was on the road. Then he stacked it! Yep, full Evo engine, which is a pain, cos they have modified the gearbox, like relocate the starter position. And i cant put on a RWD 6 bolt flywheel coz its Evo 7 Bolt. So if i blow this gearbox,which i no doubt will, i HAVE to rebuild it. Gearbox is standard Sigma. Ive had these behind VR4 engines before, and they hold there ground. 3rd gear syncro is what gives up i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Yea reckon the low key, standy look but I think traction will be a "challenge" with any wheels/tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
