which garage edde? 5k is worth the fun..

unless you could source cheap parts yourself engine/box/ecu/bigger turbo/fmic etc and do some if not all the work yourself im guessing a specialist would probably charge 7k ish (parts/labour/mapping) to do a decent VAG 20v conversion for the valver.

waste of money. the 'gains' are so small for the £.

greetings! the mk1 has cable throttle so maybe thats why it felt livelier, if your mk2 is on low mileage its probably not 'run in' yet.

M3's hehe they always try to rise..

shouldnt be a problem if the kit is installed properly, agree with sticking to the 6k kit tho, which is what i have and my night driving is now safer as i can see much better than using the original valver candles.

got mine from 'paul16v' from williamsclio.co.uk, there was a group buy @£110 but i missed out, cost me £140 in the end. excellent bit of kit.

as for finding alloys to fit the mk2, if you stay with 16's ET37 to 48.5 is acceptable. 37 being ideal as it widens the track improving the handling. however if you have it low on 17's et37 may rub.

all 182's inc trophy are ET45. 172 mk1 is ET43. 172mk2 is ET48.5. 172 cup is ET38.5.

type in 'battery relocation' on the search & my 'rough' guide with pics was on page 3..

surley it depends on what cams as to where the power would be? they should have asked you if you wanted mid or top end etc? if you wanted better torque then headwork is advisable from my own experience, mine ran 181lbft with it.

used KW v2's on mine, excellent kit.

Re: RR results for 1*2s thought you would get this done as its the last 'basic' mod for yours? saw yours at GDI at the weekend, looks a touch too low for decent handling.

shouldnt have any probs bidding as i dont think there will be much interest on the springs. i will not end the auction early tho, ta.

lovely, any plans for the engine?

had a similar talk with mine, told her if she wants a bigger boot she better go buy one.

ya £700ish, like ive said what will you use them for? whats your budget? i paid £500 for my used KW v2's. suspension doesnt need to be ultra low for the best handling on the road, a lot of people having it sitting on the bump stops which is totally usless.

if you are looking at ChrisK Ledas over some H&R its a no brainer, Ledas everytime. but first consider your usage, there are other cheaper alternatives if you dont need all that adjustment, whats the point? as Fubar says many buy them & dont use them. that deal aside, KW v2 for me, had them on...

baked beans all round! nice looking helmet m8.
