TDi power this time

Looks like you have a steal there. Tdi power should be better than the SDI but i bet you wish it was the same colour as your old one

Yeah, i wish my old 1 was tdi'd as the colour was cool but i did see a few more turn up in the same shade so probs was'nt as rare as peeps made out. My old van is up for sale at 1800 but i was after a straight white tdi this time.
I also getting it off the same guy i bought the blue 1 off and as he's headman on vwcaddy, i trust him so with only seeing pic's, i put my name down to collect on saturday

This 1's gunna look sick

looks nice m8, gonna be sweet with ya splitties on.

Here she is, few pic's that AL sent me.
Totally standard(for now )




Its in Good condition with only minor dings to doors and bonnet, easily repairable. FSH with 167k on the clock. Drives great, much better than poopy sdi power.

Bring on the mods
This is gunna look sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Forgot about that, maybe then mate although i'd prefer my truck to be in there.
We'll see

get a tuning box on that sucker, had one on my a4, went awesome for such a big car, took it from 90 to 110bhp and they arent that expensive either.

dont wanna sound any more stupid than normal, but whats a tuning box?

Its almost like a chip or remap but it plugs into your ecu, it modifys the fuel and boost parameters to add more fuel and more boost obviously. They are good because they are easily removable etc. They are also switchable some have 3 stages of tune resulting in different power outputs too obviously.

plug and play chip mate


Gem can probs sort me out the real McCoy remap with her work so i going to hold out for that

Robbed my truck of the G60's :I so here's a pic with them on my van. Also shows the standard height as i in the process of flipping the axle at the mo.

Was'nt going to lower so soon but a pair of brand new front janspeed coilovers came up on ebay for £95 buy it now(thanks ady) so i had to have them
Collected them today as they was local before stripping the rear down when i got back.
Good job i decided to do the flip sooner as when i disconnected the flexi pipes, no fluid came out lol , weird really as it all looks like its had an overhaul recently from the signs of it having new brake shoes and all moving parts being coated in copper slip. MOT up on the 26th aswell.

Here's a pic of the wheels that was due to go my truck, unfortunately the paint has slightly reacted in places so i've demoted them to daily's. I've stripped my silver rm's so i can use the lips on these and repaint the baskets ready for my truck. Work will do them for free in any colour .
Pic dont do these justice but they candy cherry

Going to see if its cheaper to rechrome original bolts rather than spend loads on new 1's.

Will put some more pic's up tommorrow of the newly slammed van if i get it all done before dark.

hmmmm not the only set that reacted then

Nope. good excuse to put them on my van though

Now lowered

Few pic's for you all
Wanted to go a little lower with this 1 so decided to place the mounting plates on top of the other plate found on mk2 axles. I then used some plumbing aluminium tape to cover the old locating pin hole

Least if i decided to put blocks in, i'll be able to drop a bolt straight through rather than having to remove again just to drill another hole.

Painted over with hammerite

I then coated it all with sealer along with the bare metal area's where i removed the spare wheel cage brackets.

Pic of the rear stack

Rear all done


Original fronts


95 quid janspeed coilovers


Was dark by the time i finished so here's a couple of crappy pic's just to show it lowered


Will wait for fronts to bed in and settle before adjusting them again

What ya thinks now then

looks sweet mate

Nice m8 looks cool:afro:

looks good dude

nice wheels dude:D

Cheers lads.

Wheels will defo be on van soon. I booked in at stylehaus this saturday to have rear arches rolled for them to work
