FLASHBACK FRIDAY | ALEX HUSTON'S MK5

Way overdue but thought it would be a good time to post up Alex's old Mk5 from one of its stages of wheels... I did mentioned that we kind of lost track of the amount of wheels Alex had on the golf in the last feature we did of it.... Can view the last feature HERE!

This was last year some time, Alex tried to pull off a race style wheel but with crazy on point fitment... something he had never seen done before with these wheels and well XD9s on a mk5 golf in general.

Personaly I think he pulled it off amazingly, and for me it was the first time seeing fitment like this in person... shit was crazy! haha
I think at this stage there was only Chookie's BO55GS fitted like this.

At this stage nothing body wise had changed from the last feature we did on it this was before Alex had removed the tint.

BUT DAMN IT LOOKED RAD ROLLING!

So this feature is just a flash back, a time in the past where Alex had a new set of wheels on the golf, and pulling of some of the most epic fitment I have seen in person!

So lets take a closer look at those wheels....

18x9 and 18x10 Work Emotion XD-9s with 215/35 stretched hard over both front and rear! With so much stretch on the rear let Alex drop the guard right between the rear tyres and guard.

This is a rare shot of the man behind the golf... Alex!

The car has now been sold on to a new owner and living down in RADelaide!

Big thanks to our bro Josh Dobrik for the shots, sorry it took so long to get them up on the net. hahaha

Thanks, Streetkarnage.

DONE IT AGAIN | ALEX'S MKV GOLF

If you've been following Streetkarnage for the last few years, or just in the scene in general, the name Alex Huston wouldn't be new to you... He has been a part of Sk from nearly the beginning. And has built some epic cars, and the cars that he has built... he has rebuilt and changed things up in epic ways.

His mk5 Golf is not new to the scene. It was the first bagged mk5 in Australia. And it has been kicking around meets, shows and even interstate events for the last few years... But that doesn't mean it looked the same for those years. If you know this car or Alex, you know he has to be one of the biggest wheel whores out (haha).... I asked Alex how many wheels he's gone through on the golf, "I think I've had about 7 sets of wheels now". This made me laugh,not from the fact that he has had 7 sets of wheels on the one car... But the fact that he is still unsure of the amount he has had on the car! haha!

For this look he wanted to run 19" on the golf, the car has previously rocked 17 and 18 wheels. This time round Alex wanted to try step things up and go for maximum tuck.... After selling his last set of wheels, he was on the hunt for the new perfect set. One night I got a text at some stupid hour from Alex, it was a link to some wheels on a website... It was these wheels that are now on his car.... a full set of VW OEM Touareg alloy wheels in 19x9. And if I can remember correctly it was the following afternoon Alex and a mate headed to  Brisbane to pick them up.

H&R Adapters got ordered, tyres got fitted and here we are... I believe another first!

19" Touareg OEM wheels on a MkV golf.

The exterior has been kept very clean and simple. 

Door handles, bumpers and door trims have been

 colour coded to match the VW white. Alex went 

with a small change on the exterior for the new 

look, it was running super dark tint that was 

removed to give it more of a OEM look, funny how

 something so very small can make all the 

difference to how a car is styled.

After Alex's previous build, he knew this one was going to be on air. He's done low static and as Alex said "Police don't like low cars, I can drive around at a respectable height and never have any real issues"

As the car sits it has had another huge amount spent on the air set-up... With the system completely removed and re-done with all new 3/8 lines. Scraping the crap air management system he had, and forked out the coin to do things right by replacing it all the AccuAir VU4 valve block and switchspeed. The full system was rewired. The compressors have been replaced with large Viair items, and the system was then hidden neatly under a false floor and dynamated to keep things quite.

Alex is finally done with the car, he is the happiest has ever been with it and he doesn't want to change it from the way it looks... So its time to change things up and get into a new car. So the car is up for sale if anybody is interested, they can contact Alex. (his details are in our crew section)

After asking Alex some questions about the car for the write up, he said he would like to thank some people that have helped him through the build...
"Byza, Zak, Ty, Scott, Troy, Cobey, Nelson and Chad, Always good to have good mates to help"

One car I hope someone snaps up quickly, and loves it like Alex does!

Thanks, Streetkarnage.

SECRETMEET | SECOND EDITION | PART ONE

Due to epic slack and a massive back-log of photos due to so many events lately, and also working on the cars. I have finally finished this post ha-ha!

So here is PART ONE of our second Secret Meet!

Day started out well... I was doing some finishing touches to the wagon at the Shed while a heap of bro's started rocking up... was all smiles at this stage!

Alex's Mk5 sitting on point with his brand new XD9s (which are now for sale). Have a full feature coming up on this next week!

Jackson came down for Toowoomba in his RX3, during the journey down his dump pipe cracked nearly all the way through. Running a little late for the meet, we ended up hitting the road about 3pm... to only get around the corner to see that Jayrad had been pulled over by the police. We found out later he copped a fine for being too low. 

 We all quickly turned around and headed back to the Shed..... 

TO BE CONTINUED!

Thanks, Streetkarnage.
