Hey everyone. Was on here about a year ago with my B3 2.0GL estate in red, lowered 110 mm on coilies with azev A's, and before that my 16v B3 estate in black (also lowered on azev a's - those wheels look awesome on b3 estates!) http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n177/lewiswilkinson/P1040036.jpg http...

haha cheers,

Kinda the wrong forum for a jetta i suppose

haha. http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n177/lewiswilkinson/P1050083.jpg http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n177/lewiswilkinson/P1050086.jpg http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n177/lewiswilkinson/ff43_1.jpg I really do. When i looked at it, it was dark, and now its daytime i can see quite how bad i...

I'm in work today

I am a 'lazy-bum' uni student, so have some weeks off for easter but work saturday and sunday as Weekend Supervisor at Holland&Barretts to live, and quite a lot of overtime this easter... Therefore, i reckon i can shirk the 'lazy-bum' bit and just be a student?

awesome

i like your style, mocco

edit: although being a mere 20 yr old i'm a sucker for Joni Mitchell, or a bit of James Taylor anyday

paul - i may have to tap you up for those details as im doing my journalism degree, and would like some work experience at some point. Allready had several articles published and done quite a few album reviews (NME published) etcetc

Bjork - Volta

Fab Fab album if you get into it.

yeah, did fit them properly. Several people have said its the springs because its so low, and not a cuase for worry.

As above.. Only noticeable when stationary or moving at slow speeds, about a half turn either way from straight and there is an audible (quite loud infact) 'clunk' - sounds slightly like somone dropping a bean can on a floor. Can feel it to allthough only mildly. Just a bit concerning as MOT time in...

likin it all a lot except the 'homebrew' tinted rear lights:P

Walked out to the passat after uni, blibbed my blibber thing to unlock le passat and nothing happened. The light came on on the blibber but *nothing* from the car. Thought - meh, i'll just use the key, used the key, opened the door and all hell breaks loose. Headlights and hazards flashing, the most...

i saw this a while back and posted it on NR, as far as i know the bloke on NR is picking it up tomorrow:)

haha yeah, front splitter acts as a plough :laugh:

Multistories also a no-go, and i can literally only just get my hand under the front splitter!

Thanks for the comments guys! Well it does not drive as nice on these wheels as I think it has enhanced a front wheel bearing/driveshaft/gearbox problem. Getting second thoughts about all this now, might just flog it and get a 2ltr petrol estate :roll: Oooh, harsh. I have a 2ltr estate (8v, MPI) an...

Haha its stiff, but not too boucy. Top nuts i got a 21mm (14mmtop) spark plug socket - ie with a hole through it to get an allen key through it, and grooved at the top to get a spanner on it) and voila, top mounts were off in about 10 minutes top! Was the other bolts at the bottom that were stiff. I...

Im SO happy, it looks SO good. Anyway: YAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaay A few hours later and with poo tools (ie a £3 adjustable spanner) i finally got the front coilovers on. They came wound all the way down so i just fitted them like that, and the weight of the car was sitting literally on its wheels! Its d...

Cheers -

Fronts turned out to be a piece of wee (hate that expression) and ran out of time on the back, so its wedge setup for me. I'll get pics up

OK. I was about to set about fitting my coilovers but it struck me i might not have everything i need (partswise). I asked in the shop i got the topmounts if i needed anything else and they said no, but all ive got is this: http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n177/lewiswilkinson/P1040022.jpg Where at...

haha yeah, still got the hair, havent cut it yet!

Suprising the difference a set of wheels make for a car!

They will go on with bags of room mate.

I had some azev a's on my olf GT16v estate. They were 16x8, et 25, lowered 80mm and a still had 5mm spacers on to get them to fill the arches!!

I'm with the RAC. I'm a member so thats an extra fifty quid off, but they were still severl hundred cheaper than everyone else! I wouldnt have minded paying £400 a year!

By a taxi driver in his octi 1900TDi.. He kept flashing me (haha not that type) so i eventually pulled over in town and he pulled up next to me and said - "mate, youve got a flat...Oh, theyre just really low profile.." - referreing to my tyres on the azev's. Theyre 205/40/16 on a 16x7.5 so...

haha huddersfield is MILES away from me! Thats like a 7-8 hour drive from me!
