It took me 6 attempts to get my passat suspension right :-o The best for handling was bilstein gas shockers and 40 mm lowering springs but it wasn't low enough for me. I ended up with jom coilovers which gave a nice ride without being crashy but I was that low I bottomed out on larger dips. http://i...

Class!

Sits nice on those rims and suspension

I got fed up with my power steering belt slipping whenever it was a bit damp and decided to make myself a splash guard. This is fitted along my chassis and covers all the pulleys that sit just inside my drivers side wheel arch. I made it from an old ad blu drum( 10 litre if anyone is interested :-??...

Looking fantastic just with lows and wheels
100%better than standard.

I feel the anticipation too, can't wait to see it with all the new bits and cleaned up too.
Bringing it back from the brink of death

Those wheels look awful, please feel free to chuck them in MY dustbin

Morette headlights although electronic adjustment they needed to come down a bit so I got a quick piccy.

Good company though.

Bloomin eck Ant, going to be a full rebuild at this rate.
Car looking reeealy nice, can't help thinking wheels look a bit plain, any plans for them? Paint? Polish?

On my b5 the car was down on power for months and eventually it refused to start so I replaced the battery and it was back to full power instantly, if you do suspect that the battery is on its last legs try and borrow a known good one to see if that is the problem before shelling out for a new one? ...

Just a wee update since fitting the induction pipes, it actually runs smoother now? I used to have a bit of a flat spot around 2500 rpm and I don't anymore also I can pootle along at 30 mph in 5th gear without any vibration (not recommended normally due to putting strain on the gear box and other pa...

It's actually chipped as well but you wouldn't guess if you drove it

Thought I'd share this here with you all, this is my home made induction kit for my 90 bhp galaxy :D Over engineering at its finest or what? http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh287/stylin-passat/20151010_165224_zpseqig79ne.jpg http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh287/stylin-passat/20151010_170645_z...

Made this from some pipes I happened to have :D Trial fit http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh287/stylin-passat/20151010_165224_zpseqig79ne.jpg http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh287/stylin-passat/20151010_170645_zpsci4l5yjq.jpg And after a little adjustment you have the above result :-bd Oh and ...

It's not modern it's retro :D Well since my bot lifters decided to pack in and not hold the tailgate up any more I've changed them now to some new shiny chrome ones. Nearly whacked me on the chin when I opened it after fitting. What a pain in the rear they were to fit. Your bot lifters? Are those y...

X2 makes it look more modern

Love it already
(Although i would loose the bra )

Looks great in white matey!

Any modifications planned?

I bought mine from a fellow member on here, if you go on ebygumbay and type in passat b5 tuning you should find one?

Me too looking forward to seeing this come together

Looks great, I love older cars

Well done, I did a 4 speed to 5 speed conversion on an old opel kadett I owned. I bought a gearbox but forgot to buy the gearstick X( So had to wait a week driving with a 5 speed gearbox and could only use 4 gears, I have never been so frustrated ~x( Shouldn't take long to reap the benefits hopefully?

Hope you get it sorted out.

Just pointing out that I did resolve my water issues before I moved my ccm, mine was the sunroof drainage pipes had become disconnected and the famous pollen filter issues.

Good luck matey.
