I've read on the internet that if I lower my car 100mm my ARB will rub on something.....is this true? :huh:

If so can I chop it off?

Will any other ARBs fit?

Will adjustable drop links work?

Best advice I have seen recently (on the Mk4 forum) is you can simply run without it. Slammed on coilovers -ARB apparently still gives good handling.

Perhaps running slammed without one is the new "going commando"  :grin:

You can only do that if you fit a K04 turbo. The K03 and K03s don't have the spool torque needed to keep the line tight. Then get it mapped and you will be fine...

Ordnance Survey do the best IMO...

Due to the holistic healing properties of herbs, your engine will reset itself to 5000 miles wear and tear.

Make sure it;s not those illegal errbs though as those will mellow your car right out to 10bhp.

Yes - but that creates the VTA type. (As long your aim is good).

The recirc is more environmentally friendly as it puts the fumes back in to the inlet for burning. Since the ECU is expecting the extra gas it leans the mixture off when the valve dumps. VTA makes the engine run extremely lean without these fumes - this is why VTA valves are folly and not recommended.

If your aim is not good you won't create a dump valve and you might be forced in to a nursing home by members of your family...

Why would i make my mk4 lighter? You do realize it one of the lightest cars ever made?  if I take them out it will be so light it may blow away in the wind.  (Hopefully anyway)

How much hot water do you put into the engine to flush it out when doing an oil change  :undecided: will adding some fairy liquid help get it cleaner quicker  :nerd:

Use sand pour in and run the engine for a few days to blast off the dirt.

Steve I will find you a how to link i must have one some where.

Also take into account the mk of the car, due to the mk3 being more exposed to water you would use this cat:

On the mk4 are cars are like real men, so we use this one:

It will work however the interior mirror is a better place to hang it.

There's every possibility for this to be true, however if you was planning to raise the car in question I'd suggest you replace the uppor bolts with thes ones to ensure a small raise that you require.

if you want to go sideways all you do is take both ARBs and swap them front to back and upside down, then you will have a drifting machine
Title: Re: thread of the week
Post by: golf-sib on 20 June 2012, 10:49
better yet, jack your car up and drop McDonald's trays on your rear wheels, this will allow you to beat rx7 and s2000 in a Tokyo drift match. Also to gain street cred I suggest you drive your car from the roof using your feet to steer through the sun roof.

This is spot on advice that I need above.

i'm looking to swap out the engine of my diesel for a 2JZ froma  supra so i can win the drift events.

The problem I'm encountering is I need to mount it sideways due to the shape of the golf.

Would I be ok in just attaching the engine directly to the front passenger wheel? I iunderstand I will only have one gear, but from only driving one wheel and going in reverse everywhere I should be "dorifto Kingo" right?

Post by: cullygti on 20 June 2012, 11:08
if you mount it at the rear you will have a rear wheel drive golf awesome for drifting  along with mcdonalds trays under the front wheels  :wink:

and you need to hang pappa smurf off the back cos he is the daddy the blonde smurf just attracts to much attention

That's perfect - i don't want to attract too much attention as the police are after me all the time. I can normally outrun them though, but have been looking to get hold of a police scanner radio.

What is the best kind of radio to tap into the police? Clock Radio? CB Radio? Or is there an App on my iPhone to do this?

Regarding glue issue, I suggest you pop to the following:

Poundland
Pound stretcher
Any other £1 shop

Stock up on loads of super glue. With this newly acquired glue, best thing I found was cracking it open and selotaping it in the inside of your arches, pierce a second hole in the glue one mounted, this causes the glue to drip. Repeat on all other wheels.

I have tried UHU and PVA, but in grip, terms super glue is the right stuff to go, even works better when you have like no tread init, its like a slick tire but with even more grip.

Speaking of glue and selotape, I actually remade my entire chassis. Wrapped it all in selotape then used glue as a to bond it all together and make it go hard. Then I just whiped it off and bang. DIY carbon fibre chassis. Car now weights 1.1tons instead of 1.2, absolute winner.

to cut down on weight could I leave the gas canister out and fit a tube mounted into the drivers seat and use ass gas to provide the fuel for the ignition system. Obviously I'd need a high fibre diet as well.  :cool:

Found a new mod whilst working on the car, the cambelt is overrated and heavy, so I used a big elastic band, which seems to work well, also makes some funny noises and bangs when it slips from time to time.

Whilst working on it further an idea struck me, since my sump keeps getting hit, I should put the engine upside down, this will stop sump damage hugely.

This idea is brilliant!

It it will also increase fuel and oil pressure due to the added effect of more gravity, due to the sump being higher up. Also because the pistions are now falling towards the earth you have freed up 2000 bhp!!!
