That just looks like an AFH?

I looked into using AFH pistons, not ideal really. Cant remember why, but i had talks with lots of people in the 'know' and decided against it.

i'll give you a hand with getting this back on the road on you week off if you want?

really looking forward to seeing it go!

looks bloody sweet mate

If you still have your towbar send it my way in exchange for some dolla

:thumbsup:

It is just an afh tobes, was it due to the higher compression ratio they give the engine? Because thats exactly why I'm using them :lol:

As far as I'm aware that's the only real difference between using afh pistons over the avy ones

As much as i do rip you about it - i fucking love this car 8-)

You should've let the council repossess your garage and take the contents with it!

lmao Brett, would it not have hurt inside to think the can of coke you buy in 6 months time was part of a PLS? :lol:

Yeah Guy, but its too high a compression. Do more harm than good. Unless you double gasket or something.

Towbar went years ago mate :lol:

Matt, your more than welcome to pop round and lend a hand. I dare say others will be paying a visit too (hopefully 8-) )

Love you too Polly <3

due to be very low soon after the Club Polo Rolling road day!!! the kit is designed to be run at between -80 and -110. so if you are planning on running at -40 your buggered hahahaha its your choice if you remove helpers to gain extra lows as you are in chassis notch territory or ball joint extenders!

you'll always need the muscle tobes, and the whitchurch boys. :)

That's perfect Kiz, it was at about 80-90 (80mm kit with 10mm lowering topcaps) in the pics. So winter when i put the RA's on 90 should be bang on, And as low as i can go with the PLS. Well, enough to get rid of any archgap. I don't want them tucking :lol:

Subframe is gone as you may already know, so that wont be causing any issues now in regards to it being too low.

True story brett.. I need some of your muscle soon actually, need a hand moving the engine.

Just been on the phone to Dom for like an hour :lol: Discussing his 6n and this.. One of the things we were talking about was the roof.

I need it re-painting. but because ill never get a match to the satin i need to do it another colour. But i really cant think of a colour that will look good and not look odd.

Dont want black

Considered Silver, but it could end up looking really out of place. Will be Gloss also.

Ideas, opinions?

Arctic camo is still an option, but i think I've grown out of that idea now really. Not sure.

i want what hes having ^ -110mm sounds good to me!

it do 120-130 but i dont recommend anyone takes the helpers out

mmmm thats naughty :p

Can you imagine 130 :lol:

These 6n boys think they are low.. :thumbsdown:

And you know I'm up for lending a hand :thumbsup:

And me Tobes, seeing as you're only up the road :lol:

Vis roof, why not do summat wacky with GT3RS orange? Though arctic camo vinyl might be easier :lol:

Got an idea for the rood now, Think I;ll just go ahead with it and hope for the best

It should be pretty subtle but awesome at the same time. Bit of contrast.

momo boss turned up today, and all my audio shizz :unibrow:

Brettle is coming round tomorrow, get cracking with some shizz hopefully.

Mate, i'm up ready, we'll get some shit done today son! Gotta wait for this sparky arsehole to get here and rig something up in my oven.......

  • Author

Didn't get a great deal done because i spent all morning in bed :lol:

And even when i did get up, spent most of it tidying up rather than doing any work. Got more room in the garage and where I'm going to be building the engine though :)

Managed to save a steering arm off the coupe's struts, but one we couldn't get off for shit, just keeps spinning.

Kiz, you probably have better toolage to get the steering arm off, so do you want me to leave it on or shall i grind it off before i give um to you?

Changed the boots on the TCA's as id split both when taking them off...

DSC_0050.jpg

Who says you need new TCA's if you split the rubber? to fuck with that :lol:

Also attempted to get the rubber gaitor back on the driveshaft, but not a fucking clue how to get it back on :lol:

Got bored a min ago and decided to get the sub fitted into its box, so its not taking up so much room in my bedroom.

Amp will be going in the spare wheel well, along with the secondary battery 8-)

Get some more done tomorrow hopefully.

What audio did you get for £100 then dude, and where from?

  • Author

all thats pictured there, wiring kit and some 6.5" speakers.

From car audio center

They fucked me around a bit tho, ordered a sony sub that was in the sale, but they had infact ran out.. so they said i could have that sub for the same price (thats listed at £45)

then a day later they emailed to say they had ran out of the pioneer speakers i ordered, but said i could have these juice ones for the same price (listed at a fiver more) Only reason i said yes.. is because they are orange :lol:

Reviews are good though, that was the main reason i didn't tell them to screw themselves and ask for a refund.

And i have all matching audio now, how cool :lol:
