Cheers tricky!

Wound the coilovers right down to 2 threads on the front.
Need shortened drop links so I have had to wind it back up as it was knocking a bit.
Didn't want to risk doing any damage or causing strain on the drop link mounting brackets, so will order some asap!

Took a quick photo looked a lot better, could probably go to the bottom.



Hahaha  :grin: defiantly worth the money

Journey back will be faster if you do  :wink:

Haha what do you mean man?

So, the rear disks were in really bad shape and needed changing asap!
Back caliper was sticking and had killed the pads.

So I've bought brand new disks, pads and a caliper. Will get the old caliper refurbed and keep this in my spares box!



Shocking how bad these are...





Mk5 R32 blue caliper, going to have to get them painted one colour!



Will be fitting this weekend as I can't really use my car in the state of the rear caliper!

Old disks off on the offside rear.



All bled up and fitted. Just need to repaint all callipers so they are one colour!
Thinking a matte burgundy red!





Got to do the other side, and my other calliper wouldn't wind back! Argh!!
Ordering another brand new calliper.

Changed my CD player from the audi 6CD changer to the Audi Concert 2+ which can play mp3 CDs and also have an aux out.



Bye bye tape player  :grin:



Got the code off a guy on eBay, and I can finally play mp3 CDs!

Well, it's been a while.
I've tried to stay off the forums for a while due to getting sucked in to death and spending a fortune haha!

anyways, where do i start!

Had a wheel bearing fitted and brand new CV joint / oil change at Riverside Racing, Liverpool.



I changed up the wheels from the S-Line 17s to Rotiform VCE - 18 X 8.5J. Had a few scuffs but generally good condition!





I then bought some MY09 rear lights to clean the back end up. So much better!





Added my company logo to the rear! haha, was meant just for a show, but i'm running it daily!



Backed the car in to a low post, like an idiot!





It was doing my head in, so 2 days later i had it pulled out for the cost of £100 by Express Dent Removal Manchester, so so good and came to my work place to do it.



Wheels needed a refurb as i had scuffed one at the airport!  :sick:

Also, two tyres needed changing, so i had brand new tyres put on the front, and my back tyres were changed last month.



Had them powdercoated Titanium Grey, with brand new Rotiform centre caps, what a rip off, £85 delivered!



Got them home, new caps fitted, it was time to fit.



Should i strip the back out and get a spare VCE????


Got it sat nice now, could go lower on the rear, but generally i am happy. I took the 6mm spacers out i was running. No more arching out on hard corners.



Cleaned and sealed for winter!

So much better!
