You can paint an ST any colour you want...some Beetles can still make them look stupid at the lights. :lol:

Take a few month's leave, empty your bank account, then drop it, chop it, flare it paint it, flame it, upholster it, disc brake it, upgrade engine, watercool it, turbo it, charge cool it, good sound in it, 1 piece window kit it, short gearshift it, paint it blue, slap nice rims on it, put a nice seat cover in it, then........
Get a kickass attidude , that's bad man :twisted: 8)

Haha thanks Bratjie, already busy doing that, almost there.... Needs the finishing touches just need to drop it, finish the body kit and invest in some nice rims. That's all happening once I finish my matric year

Put a lot of stickers on it. It's proven, it is a scientific FACT that stickers make your car faster. You get 5KW for every sticker you have on your car.

This Mini-van got 85 more kilowatts because of those stickers.

Cheap pepup for your bug--
Half a handfull of mothballs in the tank, pump the tires to 3 bar and you will be drifting like an ACE
If you are just doing short drags and shutting off, you can remove the fanbelt as well -- it frees up about 10 HP---for a very short while
