what do you mean aspiring to driving??! Its been that long with mine, that even aspiration has gotten very dusty over time
lolim sure it was vortex as i remember all these pics so i must have read your thread on there. Im pretty sure you posted pics on my syncro thread too. Im hopeless with names and sigs, but i do recognise the pics
thought about moving it into the garage but couldnt work out where to put all the stuff thats in the garage
: (they dont look half bad on the car, but as i only have ones axles worth of tyres (the dealer only had 3 in stock), so car pics will have to wait- plus its a bit dirty at the mo
Now Ill be the first to admit that Im not the biggest fan of stretched tyres, but I knew that Id have to give it a go with these wheels.

Im sure Ive a lot to learn yet about getting them sitting right for me…………
These are the wheels that persuaded me to sell my Golf Country Chrome steel wheels!
This is the second set of 1552’s Retro Modern Line 8×15 ET30 snowflake wheels to hit our shores, and the first grey set. Another black set is also on its way to Blighty and there are currently only 6 sets in Europe! Yes Customs has given me a healthy sized bill, but c’mon- these are gorgeous!

Heres a tip for Customs bills, dont pay over the phone if you want to collect you parcel. I thought Id paid the full Duty for the whole set of wheels, but it turns out that there was another bill the next day. All told Ive paid £160 on top of the purchase and postage price. I think thats a bit too much as Ive been charged over £120 VAT for $800 worth of wheels! Ill be sending off a letter to make sure I havent been overcharged but Im sure VAT is still 17.5%- my charge equates to £700!! I know theres a recession on but c’mon!! So I have to wait until Tues to get the other half of the wheels, but by god am I impressed!
The cam is a VW one, maybe a GTI standard cam? I cant say for sure what size the valves are without taking the head off. It also has a diesel clutch, and Magnacor leads- although no lead from the distributor to the coil.
Cheap power upgrade and just waiting for a pair of carbs to be added!baaarrrppppp!
well, the calmasters have a new home and im paying for the new rims tonight- im well excited like a small boy at xmas!
