      135 is better though if you've got a mod you could reuse almost all your current parts bar the forks and rims if you go for a 116 spaced frame.

  9. Looks over function is some peoples thing! Function over looks is also some peoples thing. just personal preference really! I loved scraping round in my decked Astra Estate. Just to see peoples face. Plus Iv never had the money to have a fast car!!

  20. I've had a few in my time, these are in order I had them too! Echo Control Adamant A1 Long Zoo python long! awesome bike!! Then Back to the Echo Control Then finally back on a mod! Echo Lite
  21. didn't they like to snap though? I always wanted one though! the bar and stem were odd size iirc not 31.8mm or 25.4mm
  22. On my old Echo the vee was the best brake I ever had! The set up was: Heatsink adaptors Heatsink cnc backings Heatsink Red pads Avid SD7 arms. Avid SD7 lever Cheapo Halfords cable Rim was an Echo Urban (best rim IMHO) One thing that I would have loved is a slightly narrower rim, as I couldn't really get them to sit square on the rim. But this didn't stop the brake that much, also with using a shitty cable it took a few days to get the cable to stretch but after a bit of adjustment it soon sorted that out. As for performance it was really good. Felt light, so eased arm pump, the brake had tons of hold. lacked a tiny bit of bite but I don't like that too much. found then to be a bit quieter than maggies too! which is a bonus I have tried Tnn pads, the green ones. on the front of my mod and my god that was a good brake, bit tricky to slow down!!
  23. yeha I know there is! just at 1st glims! lol
  24. Just the timing belt covers are different to the ones in a golf. Its one thing thats putting my off a conversion is the wiring side. But just got to stick with it! Probably where many projects go to pot!
  25. What's that out of? not a 1.8 is it? or an I being a tard? In my car related-ness Have a Polo 1.4 (6n) and has drums on the back. Going to put the rear beam off a ibiza on some time soon (still up at the breakers) once I have it fitted and bled will I find out that I need the master cylinder off the Ibiza? I would get the front brakes too but I'll need new wheels!!!
