Yup

right had a little play today, got some 20mm spacers off lupton and wound the coilies right down on the back, its got a slight bit of poke and stampers will agree the stance was perfect (will get pics soon).



however it scrapes all the time and is p!ssing me off lol, as its my daily and i use it everyday on the sh!tty crap roads its got to go higher (only the rear) hopefully only 1 thread on the coilies (only had 3 before), if not the spacers may need to go and go for abit of tuck again.


oh and i didnt realise how the the plastic sump cover was till stamps pointed it out today been hitting speedbumps quite hard so gonna slow up, its been 9months since my last lowered car lol

my sump cover is always kissing the ground

slowly grinding it away makes the car lighter with less plastic

the roads round yours are poo liam lol my dads standard a6 botommed out a few times get the pics up anyway pleased your happy with the spacers

tell me about it lol, currently centre of arch to floor is 61cm, im gonna raise it 10mm see how i get on, if not then more, i had to take my dad and his mate to st ives last night and going 20mph between haddenham and earith still scrubbed 30 everywhere else, it sucks a$$!


although its not to bad with just me.....

....maybe i should'nt give people lifts?lol

what a fun day.....

Had a play 2day raised the back up and still scrubs!
Beginning 2 think its the 10mm poke from the spacers.now i personnally think it doesnt look as good higher but i dont want to ruin my tires and arches as it my daily.how much would i cost to get the arches flared?if not ill have 2 get rid of the spacers and get smaller 1s.
Any help or advice muchly appreciated.
Cheers liam

i know a guy who can roll your arches, just a sec!

dis be da fella:

just do it kiwi styles EG baseball bat and a mate step one pull hand brake up and get friend to put the baseball bat in then drive foward whislt friend rolls the bat continue till arch is rolled nicely if you dont get the disired effect use step 2 big hammer job done

roll them and you will be fine fella get some pics up too

right about to have another crack, going to take the spacers out first and if that sorts it, ill either put them on 4 show or sell them!

took the spacers out this evening and all seems well so far, i think the tyre was running on the inner arch as theres an area where the bumper meets the rear quarter and it sticks down (not a very good description but i'll try and get pics).

unfortunatly i forgot to get pics on the spacers but as i love changing wheels i might take them off and slam it just to get a pic for you guys!

now however it does'nt look as good imo as its tucked again, but i should be able to go all the way down on the coilies!


anyhow, anyone no how much difference between left and right rear ride heights is acceptable?mines currently around 4mm, have a feeling i'll be adjusting it for the forth time tomorrow.

sorry to hear you have had no luck with the spacers mate. As for the ride height fella try aand get it the same but i heard 5mm was about the max they can be out

yeah no biggie, ill get some 10mm or simular and try again.
with the ride height i'll redo it again tomorrow take 5 lol but i think its proberly to do with my crap eyesight and doing it at 5.30 after a days "work" lol.

orrrr its that strange fen sunlight that isnt helping

i should eat more carrots!!

well there is plenty around you up there well if you pop down to get these studs out ill have a look see about your rubbing issues.

bit of an update although no pics,
car is in winter mode (standard wheels on) lol
its still set for the 17's but if it goes much lower i will have general probs driving around here with out ruining it and at how much it cost me i dont want to do that!

my plans for next year are clearer in my head, i have a general gist of what i want to do to it and how far i want to take it,

the comps will be back on,
i have an idea im currently trying, i wont say what it is but its circa the wheels,
stage 2 custom map at jabbasport
possibly new clutch to handle the power (thinking sachs atm)
LCR front splitter
312mm brake up grade (VAG - TT etc)
backs are coming all the way down, adjusters left in
and fronts down alittle to match the back
20mm hubcentrics in the rear
and 15mm in the front
i was thinking miltek rear box but think im going to leave it standard
green cotton filter and pd160 intake trumpet.


tbh the remap, brake upgrade and clutch are going to kill me financially especially as i have a cambelt, holidays and god knows what else to pay for so they may not be done untill late next year,

basically i love the car, cant really fault it and i want to keep it for another 2 years, but i dont want to get bored of it, (my current car to time owned ratio works out to be 9months!)

anyway, any ideas on what else i could do next year?

Liam

also want some more sticker ideas so any you think let me no!!
