Haha heeey

Yeah I will do matey but I'm on borrowed p slots at the moment and I hate them! Something with dish 14x7 with low profile tyres ideally, but I may have to go for 13s as theres more about...

Ill get some photos at the weekend :)

  • Author

No arch gap on 13s ideally but well see lol got to buy some more wheels after payday and lower to suit

  • Author

Hopefully going in tithe garage tomorrow to get the wheel bearing done its well and truly fucked! Noisy constantly and apparently can eat into your hub? Certainly hope it hasn't as I don't want to buy new Coilovers arghhhhh some one reassure me that it will be fine lol!!!

haha well wheni say more threads i literally have between 5-8 cant remember for certain, it may be the angle of the 2nd photo making it look lower but I'm pretty certain your is much lower as your arch touches the keys and mine defiantly doesnt (yet :p)

looking at your coilovers the track rod arm looks a lot lower than mine though - mine are only phil j jobbies and yours are custom if I'm correct?

well see at poloshow if your going!!!

thats mental and also confusing! youve modified the underside a fair amount too - I've just done what any tom dick and harry could do and buy coilovers, I'm going to have to take some better photos i reackon I'm atleast an inch higher than you minimum with the 14s on and 5 threads left.

yours is mentally low and exactly how i want mine too be but well see after i decide on some wheels, but at this rate i wont have any :( 14x6 and 14x7 ideally anyone

cant you chop coils out of the coilovers for extreme lows or get some of them top mount air lift kits that allow 60mm.

well on a lighter note I've pm'd moderators and had my for sale thread locked, so the car is staying - game on haha!

in a light hearted (and I'm going to loose ) kind of way lol!

you best have took the helpers oout or you dont deserve them :lol:

  • Author

There the newer style phil j ones iirc shorter damper and no helper springs, do I look bent haha helper springs :)

bastard i want them.

  • Author

Yeah that's my thoughts buddy I'll sort some wheels then get the tape measure out.

That reminds me I need to check them I hope not is it much too fix? Yeah it's been driven a good 60-70 miles since few scary bangs but used to it now :)

Sorry Eric!!! :p

  • Author

Ah I see legend cheers!

It's that bar/brace/pointless bit if metal that I mentioned before below the exhaust. its now battered, it's the lowest point on the underside for me, but definatley interested in the fuel line scenario and photos would brilliant
