I <3 StickrGeek
I love post. Not bills and junk mail, but interesting post. This Friday I received a card-backed envelope full of love from Stickr Geek; the best kind of post!
’80s Hero!
Geek-chic.
Split rims, box-fresh Etnies dunks and Vinyl. Could this post be any more “scene”?
Head over to the StickrGeek blog for all your dope vinyl content and pick up your own slice of the action at the StickrGeek.com shop.

Project KP30: Strut-In
My struts came back a couple of days ago so I’ve been able to get the KP back on its wheels. Despite the fact I feel like a massive sell-out getting struts made, they site nice and ride nicer, with loads of scope to go down should I ever want to. Compared to the collapsed, slack, leaky, knocking legs I took out these feel amazing!
Outside the main hall was the club displays and the car park; always worth a mooch:
Hard Slammed MK1′s hard slammed MK1! This is commitment to LOW!

Project Roadster: Volkswagenitus
I think spending yesterday surrounded by slammed Dubs has done me no-good. By the time I got home, I was convinced the Roadster (the same Roadster I spend last Friday welding the smashed up exhaust on) was too high. So, this morning I decided to spin’em down a few threads.
Pic unrelated.
In other news: new tyres (and a grainy phone pic)
And new brakes (and EBC pads). Grooved only this time; the holes bring nothing to the party.

Ultimate Dubs 14-03-10 Part #1
For me, UD pretty much kicks of the shows for 2010 and in quite some style. Indoor shows are always nice at this time of year when the weather is as reliable as, um, an old Volkswagen and it’s certainly a gentle ease-in to the show scene after a winter of hibernation. The organisers run a strict door policy: only the sickest and most high-end cars get in, so you are always sure to see some awesome motors and some fresh metal; usually with the paint still wet from a race to meet the deadline for this weekend!
I’ll kick off with pretty much my car of the show: G-Werks fresh, 9-day built MK4 R32:
Bently paint x Lambo wheels x Porsche brakes x Air ride
Ok, I’m not on commission so we’ll move on…
MK1 Perfection. TDi power.
I was so into this Beetle, especially the Porsche seats (in MK5 GTi trim) and cage; it just worked so well!
Stay tuned for more pics soon…
It’s getting to that time of year when you should be dragging your retro out of hibernation and giving it some stick, and what better opportunity to do just that than getting out on track! Retro Cars mag are running a track evening at Brands Hatch with Motorsport Vision on the 25th of May. If you’re wheels are over 20years old, you’re in. The format will be pretty laid back with a open pit lane meaning you can maximise your track time with the added bonus that you won’t be being chased down by million horsepower super cars or chavs! Now that’s not far off, so get booked up peoples and hopefully I will see you there in the KP!

Project Roadster: A/C delete
So, while I had the Roadster up in the air, and in a in a reasonable state of disassembly, I decided to go for the A/C delete. I’ve been hauling all that shit around with me for 2 1/2 years now, convinced that one day I would fix it (I even has the right belt waiting to go)…well today I fixed it good!
This is what I removed:
Under the dash I pulled out the evaporator and gutted the box. I then sealed up the holes and replaced it to complete the heater circuit. Note the wires hanging down: by joining them you can have the extra fan working on the A/C switch: RACE CAR TECH!
Cleaned up the ‘bay too. I really need to re-paint the cam lid…
I’ve fixed up the bumper and replaced it using fresh bolts and zipties (read a couple of bolts, and loads of zipties), so I should be able to take it off in a few mins now (not 3 hours!!!).
Wait, there’s more: I’m waiting for some new discs in the post and have a fresh set of Yokohamas to fit tomorrow. Car should be dialled when it hits the deck!
