Haha sweet Car The camber look PIMP 8-) 8-)

looks awesome!

But how does it drive ?

Dunno yet :S

Hmmm, not sure if I like it JB, almost looks like the wheel is hanging off in the last pic.

Think the camber is to great for the overall size of wheel.

I'll reserve my judgement until I see it in the flesh though.

I'm betting it'll ruin the handling though dude.

Yeah, I don't think that the pics really do it justice. The camber is still growing on me, bit of a marmite mod I guess not for everyone but it does look good in the metal.

If it does ruin the handling then I will change back and maybe use the Camber for a couple of shows. I was also thinkig that it might be a good idea to take a couple of PSI out of the rear tyres so they sit on the road a bit better.

By the way, how are you liking the cleaner look of the car? The exhaust will be making way for a MK1 Golf Supersprint Gruppe A backbox when shes back on the road:

in other news, new exhaust looks like a good un JimmyB, love the upswept look!

I was liking all the changes you've made lately with the exception of the camber blocks.

Also not sure I like the 8's personally, I dunno why :?

The rest of the car is looking alot tidier now though :thumbsup:

Damn sweet marmite if you ask me! Man I love your car. I think we got a really good duo going now that mine is toned down a little dude, its like the same flavoured chalk and cheese!

think there is a little to much camber for the size of the wheels to....still love the car though..:D

Yep , we'll have to get tthem parked up together again one day mate . The front end's gone a little more OTT since you last saw it cos I fitted a slightly altered Votex grille ( freebie :-p ) and of course the swamp cooler is whacked on the side :unibrow:
