Had a productive day

Changed the exhaust to a standard one

Needs a polish and I need to spray the panel under the headlights but that's enough for one day!

Also check out the how the lights sit in the wing, might put the amber ones back in

Ride height is looking spot on !

Not sure if that's sarcastic lol?

Also put a throttle return spring in which is seriously stiff for full throttle I will need to stand up ha

At least it doesn't take ages to get back to idle now

No Not sarcastic i think it looks good.

I had to also put a stronger throttle return spring on mine as it was not getting back to idle.

Cheers dude,

Any suggestions? Got a spare one :)

Hopefully someone can help - basically as of today, my car struggles when accelerating (holds back) and pops out of the carbsz

Any ideas?? Just randomly started happening

It has fuel etc

check your timing marks too. dots on the cams should line up..

Doesn't mean I like it anymore no wheels = unloved haha

Edited by matt-c

  • Author

Definitely not! I have some 6n ones in my bedroom waiting to be fitted..

But that's what the lowering kit likes to do to them...

  • Author

  • Author

I know they've been done before but got the balloon tyres off and put them next to the car for an idea on how they'll look - I like......

E2CDC098-44C4-40EC-B567-FDC97D1AD670-239

Need a refurb but just for an idea what you think?

(Worst panel on car)

Edited by matt-c

15's look awesome on mk3's, I will say that RA's are a pain in the arse to keep clean though.

That was with 165 50 nankangs, only 60mm aswell I think.

I should have gone 45's on the front tbh.
