Re: control arms?
ok so thats the pinch for the uppers. what about the lowers? how long should i put aside for doing each set?
ive found a Meyle eBay kit for £400...the cars only worth about £800....i'm thinking this might not be the best thing to do.

Re: 5.5 seats in my 5...NEED MORE HELP!!!!!
no they came out of an estate 53 plate sport.
what do you mean by split pins? i want to make sure that they are strong enough to hold the seats in as my kids will both be in the back.

Re: 5.5 seats in my 5...different hinges on bench!
Ffs these seats are going to kill me! I've took the 40 base out, had to knock out the pins to do it. I now try to fit the sports base and the hinges are in a slightly different place and are wider so the pins won't hold them! http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k115/marshole82/Passat/IMG_20130103_1315...

Hey all, Thinking of getting a boost gauge for the 1.8t and would prefer a black background/indigo light up as per standard b5 clocks but the only option seems to be around £70 or imported from US. What are you guys running and where did you it all from? http://www.ppcgb.com/Indigo-0-30-PSI-Boost-G...

i would indeed like a full £400 system but there are a number of limiting factors; namely the fact the car really isnt worth a great deal more than the £400 it would cost to get a system, i have a mortgage and 2 kids and a missus on maternity pay. modding on a budget is the only way for me, so yea...

Re: 1.8t cherry bomb?
yes i think an aftermarket box may be the best bet. i think remus did a factory upgrade twin round - if i could get hold of one of those i think i'd be happy
