  1. Don't really squeak, more like a loud clunck Going to readjust the Rear Antirollbar as I had to jack the axle up by about a foot to attatch the coilys...
  2. Had springs on stock shocks, thats a bit like driving on a trampoline... A few things may need tightening or losening and re-tightening. I'll go over them thoroughly tommorow, should be dry so be good to test them. Lets put it this way, after all what I've been through in the rain and hail and dark and cold - they aint comming off no way!
  3. Got the last one on after mate went for a wee drive but was pissing down and where I switched the front and back tyres its like driving on ice. Need alignment done, maybe tommorow also gott sort a few other things out in the daylight. Opinions so far, HARSH! Might get used to it.. also makes worrying noises at the back when the roads a bit uneven. Thoughts?
  4. Depends if I get them all fitted , 2 are fitted at the moment just waiting for it to stop hailing Had to go to a garage to get the bolts loosened as they had well and truly seized, only had em taken off in january Edit 5:05 PM 3 are now on getting me haircut now though...
  5. I hope so Lew If not Si then its out with the grips ;)
  6. Where the dizzy cap is there are two bolts holding it to the head, loosen them and twist it towards you a degree or so. Also remember to make a little mark so you know where to put it back if all goes tits up.
  7. Didn't get anything with them unfortunatly, but a friend of mine has a set of C spanners so will pinch one off him... I do know what you mean Ste, but sometimes you have to take chances to make progress... Rich
  8. Thats one of the reasons I got them Joz, I knew you had a set and though they must be Pro ;) Total came to about £400ish but thats probably because they were really cheap on the auctions. I plan to get the front and rear almost even with a nice gap between the arch and tyre. I like how the front sits at the moment on just springs but the back is too high so these should do the trick. Rich
  9. Im supprised your not dead...
  10. And Ignition Coils and probably alot of other things...
  11. Autumn Update - Handling Right havn't done one for a while so I thought I'd share some TC goodies off thanks to Harrison ;) Tanabe Sustec Pro Coilovers Yay! Should be fitting them at some point soonish Cheers Rich
  12. Same here dude ^^, but I get paid for it
  13. 77.2 BHP At The Wheels - God knows what it is at the fly Yeah I got it RR'd at the TDi day with the S injectors, they showed me it was lean so (once I had my new wing) I swapped the injectors over and got a new exhaust So from my last reading its 77.2 BHP At The Wheels and thats whilst its lean and had a shitty 'zorst
  14. about a month an a half ahead of you Ste TBH not really noticed any difference
  15. Thats because they will outlast the sun... you just wont have any water to mix them
  16. ^^ Depends on your driving style and what you want out of the car...
  17. Well if it makes 100 with 3 mods thats 25bhp more than stock - suposidly... with the mods I mentioned and a rev limit of 9k i don't see why its not possible - Check out Type R legends on youtube VTec's get 100 bhp per litre with the long duration higher lift cam engaged so it possible. they just have the smaller cam for economy and drivabilty. just whack your idle up to 1500 rpm should be fine
  18. Theres 1 near me ^^ 55k on the clock (well they have like 60 now ) Now I've told you this I will have to kill you all Just waiting for the good old personal injury claim to come through (don't worry its not one of them I walked into a cabnet draw so now im off to magaluf ones ) and I may snap the 5e up... Oh yeah back on topic... Pretty much what people have said before really after that its port 'n polish, cams, valve springs, rods, managment, ITBs, high comp headgasket etc I reckon with all that 4EFE would be 140ish maybe who knows
  19. Its like a week 2moro - whats the crack Rick? Is it booked or not enough people?
  20. Thorpe Park on saturday hopefully wont get rained on too much
  21. Rich

    Dash swap

    Paseo dials would be better 7krpm on clock which is enough for N/A as they only rev to 6.2k took me bout 2 hours to take old ones out rewire plugs and put new ones in.
  22. Its in a mk4 if it was a mk2 or mk3 would be better Still alot of awsome work.
