i got a set of ap coilovers from venom, progressive wound main spring rather than a main and helper spring desing - so rides better! They cost me £316 delivered and took me about 3.5hrs to fit, atm i have it lowered to within 5-10mm of the arch all round with 15mm more travel on the threads out bac...

hairy donkeys which

with 235 tyres on they're considerably wider than the tyres on the old wheels meaning more friction making the car harder to move. Think about a racing bike, they have tiny skinny tyres and a mountain bike has big fat ones. yep, i found this when i went from a standard skinny 15" wheels to a 8...

if its anything like a 2.0 8v or 2.9 12v engine the maf sits just behind the airbox or induction point, there should be a terminal plug on the side of it, unplug that and your away, to remove it, you have to do the same but release any clips holding it to the intake tract and remoove the airbox/indu...

i want one of these so if we can get any discount on a group buy i'd be up for it! although glass fibre worries me, i catch my standard tdi lower splitter and this seems alot deeper!... should look cool though!

i think bobmans got one of them on his one? sorry cant be more help!

i'm pretty sure i'm safe and hell would have to freeze over cos she likes her small nippy cars and the lupo will be perfect... and after the unreliabiity of the vauxhaul it'll hopefully make her more keen to change

that sucks mate, post a piccy of them and any specs and blemishes of the wheels and tires and spread across as many forums as possible, they may crop upon ed or club gti etc or ebay, at least then if people see them they can let you know!

i really like the colour of this, looks v old skool cool 8) good luck gettign it all sorted, should be a hoot when its done!

Very nice collection of toys there! would love a skyline at some point! lots of changes, what engine is in the liner? the gtst has a 2.5 single turbo and is rwd love these cars, how much is it costing you on insurance for it, as i'm guessing its a jap import, and out of curiosity does anyone know if...

that looks great! might be a silly question, but is yours a b5, how did you manage to get the saloon leathers in the estate?

after her disgusting little 3 year old corsa decided that it was time to blow a thermostat i've ended up lending her the wagon for a week (the thermostat caused the waterpump to fail which warped the head, head gasket went and the thrust bearing in the clutch went - 3year old car!!!) anyways, shes b...

So only a6/s6, a4/s4/rs4?

o right, cool, that makes sense i suppose!... time to do some searching

As the title really boys and girls... Can you fit mk4 golf platform seats straight into the front of a b5?... fancy sorting my interior out as it really lets and car down and i spend so much time in it i may as well! Thinking either octavia vrs black and white leather or tt black baseball stich leat...

no one ever done this?

Hey fellas, i know its not a passat but a bloke at work wants to take his headunit (with double din vw sat nav type) out to fit an ipod cable to the back, it appears to have 4 horizontal slots at the corners, i presume for the release keys, are these easy to get hold of?

thanks

I really like the first rims but agree they're to sporty really for the lazy passat shape... they're almost identical to the wheels on the new Aston V12 Vantage, and thats cool! 8)

well 18's on my b5 wagon look small so i wanted 19's but for decent tires on 4 x 18's your talking £500+ so i wouldnt like to imagine the cost of 19" low pros!... if 18's you'd something like a 18x8 et35 with 225 40 18's to fit exactly as vw intended, same rolling radius and enough clearance f...

yep thats it, sorry man, i didnt see your car parked up, tbh i was suffering badly on sunday after the antics of saturrday night and didnt walk round to much!

My mate took some awsome photos at Ed so i thought i'd steal some off his flikr site and wack them up here! As it stands the ride heights set from the top of the wheel to the arch, front 10mm, rear 25mm. But I've got some spacers arriving this week and have about an inch of thread left on the rear c...
