mk3 golfs are lovely comfy boats, but personally i'd never own one, enjoy being a passenger in a few of my mates ones over the years though :-) in other words, clio would be my choice, but again what do you expect, this is a clio forum ;-)

happened here a few times, we deal with batteries so acid spills occur occasionally and the company pay for any damage to cars etc, but from a purely legal stand point I have no idea how it should go tbh I had nasty one as well a while back , stupidly left the turbo uncovered whilst there...

its not a V, its a VR ;-)

yesterday I drove it to work, today I will be slackening off the cambelt as its whining and attempting to remove the frontpipe/turbo and manifold to sort the blow I have.

the limiters there for that reason, it protects the engine under heavy use, bounce it all day and it'll be fine, provided the engines well serviced and you watch your temps as others have mentioned

GS Kingsbury be Gav as in DirtyDownSouth from the C16V forum ;-) twer a response to him, first part was to you good sir matt :-)

cheers matt :-) and dirty down, be off with you man ;-)

agreed, I was trying to achieve teaser thread with intent to post decent pics later however all I've achieved is 'blurry crap' ! lol! r0ssi - its a 1.8 16v turbo, pushes around 300bhp

ripped up the suspension first and cleaned it all, reset ride height and sorted rattle :-) then gave it a rub over with a rag, came up okay! 8) Coops

:clap: is that a sarcky remark or have you seen GTT prowling about ;)

rofl, mega bump, but that would be me! I work there......do you?! :-)

don't let that man near a stately home, drag its name into the dirt old davie will ;-)

for those interested...................... power = pain ;) :p Right, update! Finally decided to crack on and get the car apart and see whats causing the over-pressurizing issue i've been seeing this season on track. So this is how the car is stood currently, looking a bit forlorn on the...

lookin good fella glad you like the wheels ;-)

inquired ;-)

rofl, i ran a little polo few winters back, last thing to make it over cat and fiddle as it closed, whipped past many a more expensive motor with and without their winter tyres on, absolutely no problem at all, the skinny tyres cut through the snow beautifully, i think they were around 135mm...

cant get 10mm bolt on type hubcentrics as there isnt enough meat on them for the wheel bolts to then bolt to you need either eibach pro type which are hubdentric but none bolt on and then stud conversion ideally or longer bolts or rock 13mm. i have run the eibach pros with studs on the turbo...

ai mr chip, get over there! think they've just about settled into the groove of feeding and changing, bath and bed...and thats just Danny ;-) lol! ai i need to work on the stance on these wheels i think, needs more poke and lower, maybe a bit of rake, but as its the daily i really shouldnt be...

sure have, saw the new addition the the afro family as well :-)

front should be fine on 10mm

if you run like 50mm spacers or something then perhaps, under heavy track use, may shave a few thousand miles off the bearings life. but basically no it wont cause more wear that you'll notice. talking perhaps changing a bearing every 4 years instead of every 5, lol!

i have FK's on the mk1, excellent budget coilovers, ride is very compliant despite lowness :-)

it'll go on yes, with a bit of stretch, but won't be noticeable like the dub boys, tell them what the narrowest is, seem a 165 on an 8" rim, now thats some stretch!!!

if the cars still sitting near o/e height on the coilovers then you should have helpers in there, otherwide the distance from spring platform to top cap on full shock piston extension will be bigger than the height of the uncompressed spring, hence its loose so other option is to wind the...

mk 3 polo or similar, skinny wheels, next to no weight and bounce it off anything without worrying about damaging it. probably pick one up and insure it for the price of winter tyres in 16" lol ;-)

oh and cheers for the comments boys! i think for the first time since i've owned it i've actually looked back at the car in the carpark. it almost looks good!lol!

Daz, i never listen to you, your full of conformist fail ;-)

looks excellent with no front plate, get it stuck in the window ;-) lol!
