@Cookson btw lol

Got it to go up a bit you have to change the patch limit in the settings changed it to 0 now and im getting 2MB woo

Lol for some reason my Battlenet downloads in KB so im at 300KB woooo

True but i guess you get an older car and spend on repairs or you spend more buying newer car with warranty lol

Might end up selling this if there is any interest. Might just get a car that's a few years old and more modern.

Beaniesport has a Twingo with a 200 engine, when i drove it the gearbox was fucked but its a very raw and fun car lets put it that way.

What do you mean by settings? Alignment? Just standard I reckon.

Yer it would bug me if I left it. You spend the majority of time inside so might as well make it nice so I'm glad I sorted it, the dsg surround is a pain tho as you have to buy the whole thing including the gear knob so may look at plastidip or something.

Finally got around to replacing the trim on the drivers side. What a b*****d plastic soldering the new bracket in....

I only found this out after I ordered my springs and I think I have ordered the right ones haha

I just checked all the part numbers and seems ok so fingers crossed it will be alright.

The motherload of parts has arrived now!

Good man! You wont regret it. Would of liked to go for the VWR shock and spring kit myself but didnt want to keep adding to the cost of parts. I'm sure standard setup is fine for the roads.

Yer that doesnt look right to me, Eibach do two sets one for dsg and one for manual so maybe that's what's happened here not sure. Either way you need to change it.

@imprezaworks how do you know its wrong? It could be right and the others on your car are wrong? Apex are ok, they are just a but budget. H&R, Eibach and VWR would be my preferred choices

That's weird because the when I looked on autodoc and the link you sent the part number matched so did they send you the wrong one?

@imprezaworks autodoc mate, they are so much cheaper that euros and almost any other place when it comes to parts. You might get trade discount tho so I cant comment on those prices.

Love a W124 and this is even better! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1990-MERCEDES-W124-BRABUS-3-6-Q3T/283890001871?hash=item421929a7cf:g:ze8AAOSwl-teaRJf

Looks like the right spring, price is high tho.... https://www.autodoc.co.uk/kyb/833473 Its £31 on their site.

Haha you are complaining about a ball joint? I just spent 2k on the gearbox plus another 700ish in parts haha. The springs were about 120/130 so nice and cheap. The car already has lowering springs on it but no idea on brand (they are yellow) or condition. If they are decent you can have them...

Springs arrive today, should get the rest of the order in the next few days hopefully.

My little temp setup, waiting for a bigger desk and drawers but for now it does the job nicely. Have the xbox, switch, pc all hooked up and the soundbar so it makes a good chill/movie/gaming/office area.

Passenger side all sorted now, sadly couldn't remove the bracket on drivers side as its plastic welded so need to get a soldering iron.

I didnt think you needed the mobile number to unlock the phone?

Haha 135k ish , probably had the usual 20+ GTI owners lol

Have you checked grounds, injectors or timing?

Time for even more parts! With the majority of the mechanical work soon to be completed, i turned to the interior. Sadly the trims are worn so this morning i took them off to get some part numbers. When i got the car back from the garage the other week, i got in and shut the door, i pulled it...

Guess im a bit OCD like that, if i know there is something that needs doing i want it done as soon as i can. Bit sad, but i have spent the majority of the day looking at part numbers and stuff as now im supplying all the bits, if anything is wrong its going to cost me time, which means money. I...

Parts have been ordered!! This has been on my brain for weeks, i couldn't decide if i wanted to get lots of upgrades for the suspension or just go with OEM stuff. After a lot of thinking i decided to stick with OEM stuff. Even though im most likely going to be using the car at weekends only, i...

Car back today, 2k down but the car does feel good. It is so stupid in D tho, practically have to drive in S or manual. These boxes need a map. Whilst having a drive I picked up more on how soft and loose the suspension is so that will be next on the list. Treated it to a tank of v power and...
