Re: Camber shims for B4 rear wheels...

Sorry for the delayed reply, i dont get on here often nowadays. I didn't do the arches myself, but from memory the fronts were rolled flat on new wings that i had fitted, and the rears were cut down and then tapped round and sealed i believe.. if that makes sense. Not your standard arch rolling but ...

Re: Camber shims for B4 rear wheels...

Just noticed that this had been re-ignited so thought id post! The rear arches on my gone-but-not-forgotten B4 weren't rolled flat by any means, they were still about 7.5mm deep, i guess because of the mentioned 'structural need'. I don't know much more than that though i'm afraid. They are big as s...

Re: Anyone got Borbet A's on their Passat B4??

I had Borbet A's on my B4 estate, i like to think i was the pioneer as i'd only ever seen them on a b3 before, but not sure i was! Sold it over a year ago now but absolutely loved it and regret selling it massively! I'm not sure where it is now, believe someone in stoke has it. Originally i had 9x16...

Re: ebay coilovers

I've got ebay stylee coilovers on my B4, bought them off PhilJ for £235, same as hottuning ones i think, i'd say they most definitely do drop to 120mm, enough to have bumpers on the ground basically! You wouldn't want to go any lower really :lol: Make sure they are proper coilovers all round and no...

Re: 110TDi B4 Passats, How Rare?

Interesting this; I was, and still am pretty sure there was never a 110bhp b4, but i seem to remember being made to believe that there was from some source. Mine is a March 96 tdi, and it has the large engine cover on it - stretches all the way to the front, but it is definitely not 110bhp. Its 66kw...

The french have never been good with build quality for sure, although they have always handled well. I agree that virtually no good, or at least no memorable cars have come out of france in the past 10 years really though. I think the french produced some of their best cars in the 80's and early 90'...
