finally got my car lowered, with the help of a mate;
ok so i may have cheated, and it may not be permanent ;) :D
they were giving away books from an old library thats closing down, so a flat mate thought it would be clever to get them and see if he could sell them on ebay :S
jamie
theyre alot more expensive, but i dont mind spending the money if i have too.
i know that they stop wheel wobble at higher speeds, but lets be honest, 85 isnt incredibly fast, and thats as fast as i go in my wee 1.2

well a lovely lady in a 4x4 managed to t**t my drivers side bump strip the other day, but was very good about it and gave me 50 smackers to shut me up!!!!
anyways, quick trip to my local bodyshop (my paint code is written on their colour diagram poster!!) and this is the result;
cup spoiler...
what should the stealers have done at this service? it went through the usual safety test etc ie brakes lights emissions same as MOT as it was done the day after

http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/4586.html
and its hooked up to type r speakers and components
but it seems to have some safety feature cut in a lot and so i can only turn the music up to a fairly low level of sound...
so was on the way to the lakes for family easter break, dad saw this in his rear view mirror, and took us quite a while to calm down as we are audi nuts!!
it was quite obv that he was enjoying my interest as he kept speeding up and slowing down to let me take snaps, his wife. . . ...
had a good old wave and thumbs up at the lights to the airport and m56 in wilmslow/hale this evening, very nice chap, but you did have the dreaded foglights on!!!!
jamie
for my 1.2 with 172 wheels on? gonna go the whole hog and get hubcentric ones, but wasnt sure on what size to get? they come with longer wheel bolts, so that is no prob, just dont want it so wide it looks silly or causes problems!!
any thoughts welcome
jamie
as above, would like it pro installed so they can sign for it etc to make it legit to the insurance company.
anyone know of any good places in the NW? or am i best doing a yell.com jobby?
jamie
firstly, where and what kind would people suggest, decent ones so willing to spend, ish ;)
secondly, on this car, what size would you go for;
thirdly; longer bolts, or spacers that bolt to the hub and then wheels bolted to spacers?
cheers
jamie
and yes coilies are en route ;)
i bought some of these of autopia the other day, used them for the 1st time (previously used their microfibre one, big, thick and soaks up loads)

i am a geek and have major OCD so they...
. . . . . . but do i need new speaker wires and amp 12v lead and earth lead?
old ones were about 45 rms, new ones are double that.
old ones installed by halfrauds, new ones done by me, should i be using a different wire?
jamie
right due to the fact that my car looks like a tractor, and everytime i have asked for suggestions people have said slam it, it is finally happening!!
just a few questions though;
1. Best place to buy, cheapest etc?
2. Do they need setting up, tracking etc, if so how much?
3. If i slam her...
right, i am stupid so dont laugh;
i have these speakers in my car ;
