In the glove box would be the best place.

For your info. From Michelin: Michelin do, indeed, produce 3 products in the basic tyre size & tread pattern mentioned: 205/45 R 16 83V ‘New Pilot Exalto (PE2)’ (V=Max speed 149mph) 205/45 ZR 16 83W ‘New Pilot Exalto (PE2)’ (W=Max speed 168mph) 205/45 ZR 16 87W ‘New Pilot Exalto (PE2)’ Extra...

888's are good for track work, but they don't come in the right size for standard 182 rims and they wear very quickly. They are also not a good choice if you want secure wet weather grip on the road. Michelin PE2's really are the best you'll find for dry and wet conditions on a 182. They may...

Agreed. People often resent paying out for tyres (and the Michelin PE2's are expensive), but you're missing out on 50% of the car in the case of a 1*2 if you skimp on tyres in my opinion.

Sounds like your problem right there.

Checked your tyre pressures? Stuck way too much tyre black on the tyre treads recently?

Lol, cheers. With it being a bit different I was expecting a mixed reception. No money to spend on any more tarting up though - it's all going to Mr Fish to sort out the suspension!

I'm quite happy with it as it is. Not being closed minded though - tried a shop with the ducts black and not so keen, reminds me of those awful black ducts on a Ferrari F430 (disclaimer - I realise that not everyone will believe the F430 ducts to be awful).

Cheers Fletcher! Got to say I'm pretty happy with the end result :cool:

You're right. I'll have to get on to the garage about that before it gets fried from the rain. Anyone got a pic of the part?

Done.

You sure? I thought the top end Passat was a W8?

Thanks Chris, looks like I've got a few bits to look at!

Oh right. I've got AST's, so they could have camber bolts and they've not been adjusted when re-fitted. I'll have to have a look if the rain holds off for more than 10 minutes! Thanks Aluco.

Ahhh, so they're an aftermarket part only? I'm pretty sure none were fitted by AST when they did my suspension. That's why I'm thinking that the only thing that could affect my camber is the top mount, or if something is seriously amiss with the new parts fitted. Can anyone clarify?

Good shout. Where are they?

I picked up my car today after it's been repaired from a curb impact on the passenger side. They've sorted the tracking, but I told them not to worry too much as I'm getting it set up in a weeks time. However the impacted side now has positive camber and the unaffected side still has negative...

Got it back! It drives like a pig! Negative camber one side, positive on the other. Hope Mr Fish can fix it in a week's time. Anyway, a couple more s**t pics...

Wouldn't you need the drive shafts too if you did that?

Nothing yet ;) Thanks for all the positive comments everyone. The body shop owner doesn't like the black strip at all! I'm happy with it though.

Looks really good - the wheels make it. Did you pinch the steering wheel from a go kart?

Nearly done. Just needs the tracking done before I get it back :cool:

Might be.

Another crap picture courtesy of the body shop...

Crap picture quality, but I think I'll be keeping the ducts body colour for now. The black strip is still coming though.

Just been sent a pic from the body shop of it all sprayed in orange and i think you could be right! Unfortunately I can't post pics from work, will have to wait until later.

Most of what you can hear in that video is induction noise not exhaust.

Go get a 182.

Looks great, including the spolier. Nice car!
