Nice car mate, i love mk 3 cavs especially the GSi's. Is that a side exit exhaust you have on that?

Yeah go for broke on the ride height and fix the wheelbase too then you won't be far off.

Seen the car lots at shows, only think i don't like are the wheels. Find some BBS and you'll be on a winner. Rest looks awesome.
