I've seen far worse it just not for me as I think they look better without. Big gay wings just have a bit of a chav image sadly. My car only really has performance mods apart from my sexy red cam cover :)



My type 2 apex fmic should be fitted today now it's stopped raining :D

Cool. The standard wing on the DC5 looks like this:

Fairly big and gay as standard then. I'm sure I've seen a couple running round near Leeds without and it makes them look a bit more subtle. If I had a s14a then I'd definitly remove the standard rear spolier but I'm not sure it looks better without on a s14.
 
Some actual pics of the car as I haven't posted any yet







The personal reg (not to me) has now been replaced and mods include

Apex sensible exhaust
Apexi air filter
Bren device
Denso ik22 plugs
Walbro fuel pump
Autometer boost gauge
Apex induction box
ACT heavy duty organic clutch
OZ alloys (no idea what model as they came with the car)
Uprated pads, currently mintex extreme but I use Ferrodo ds2500's for track days)

I tend to run around 13-14psi so it should be making a bit more than 240 bhp.

well even if some muppet is daft enough to track down my shed, ive not washed it for about a month. the car mings, they would have to be seriously brave to even touch the thing without worrying about the health implications... theyd get it up the road and bring it straight back

PS.... it has a topflyte golf ball as a gearknob and therefore no useful markings on it. theyll see that, be completely stumped, and wont be able to drive it anyway

you could say it's security is tyte :eek:
 
They don't need your car, just its reg. As we speak a battered golf the same colour as yours has just filled up with petrol and is about to speed off without paying... In the process of which they also ping the speed camera just down the road ;)

well you just keep on worrying about it and swallowing all the scaremonging people shove down your neck... hell also have to add a whole ton of other crap to the car cos mine is pretty distinctive, even just looking at it from the back.
 
I don't worry about it at all, I took 5 seconds to ps mine out. Fact of the matter is that this does happen so why risk it at all?

They don't have to add anything to the car, meh you don't care about it so it doesn't matter does it? ;)
 
they dont have to add anything? ive worked in various magistrates and solicitors doing all sorts of motor work for the last 5 years if not more, do you honestly recon that if a purple mk3 golf with the same plate as mine set off a speed trap in Derby, but the car had none of the disinguishing features that mine did (ive even tyre tread used to distinguish cars before)... do you honestly recon id get done for it?

What do you care? You're not bothered right? Please elaborate on the tyre tread being used for a speeding offence, it sounds interesting...

It's up to the driver to prove it's not them, not the police to prove it is. In all honesty though, no, I don't think you'd get done with just any car running your plates, you'd have to be pretty unlucky otherwise. In my experience (mainly with company car fleets) it does happen, and it causes the individual hassle to sort it all out. Garage cameras are lot more low res than speed cameras, they're mainly concerned with number plate recognition. This is where we had the most problems. To clarify, no-one did get prosecuted for something they hadn't done, but with some it involved a lot of hours and briefs to get it sorted.

It's all unlikely that someone will nick your number plate from a pic on the web, I'd imagine it's more likely from being spotted on the street. To say it is just scaremongering isn't entirely accurate as it does happen. My initial response was tongue in cheek hence the smiley ;) :)

Nice motor by the way, although I'm more of a mk1 fan :)

you are not wrong, square bodykit on a curvy car... not my sort of thing!

also, i hate those alloys, not just on your car but in general :D

they are not too bad (in pics anyway)

I saw a modded Honda CRX del sol (i think) with white wheels and blue trim round the outside of the alloys, and the car was white!
