My Indigo blue GT TDI 150 oil burner

Then had dreaded cam faliure so top end rebuild with forged steel camshaft + new lifters etc, had cambelt and waterpump done, flushed all ports out, decided to replaced headgasket whilst doing the rest, removed sump and checked bottom end bearings, removed and checked turbo, de coked oil pick up pipe/inlet manifold, Allard EGR delete etc etc.....good as new now hopefully :lol:

They are nice Adam but the ones you are running look better :) new ones look abit too jap imo
-
Well I've just taken the beast out and I quite like em.....what you reckon? I'd run massive spacers with them if I ended up using these, there 19's to.

I like them..
But if I had to chose between the two I think yours are better.
-
They could make a good set of winter wheels tho?
I need 2 sets of wheels and at the moment I have 3 so its either re sell the white 19's or my nice RS4 18's.....decisions decisions :sad:
-
Sell the rs4 mate and keep both sets of 19s

White winter wheels! :grin: they'll be fun to keep clean.

I just drove down town with the white ones on 1 side and the grey ones on the other :grin:
I'll have a think, those white wheels will need big spacers if there going to stay.

Just keep it like that then! :grin:

Prefer your original ones :smiley:

Its back on the original ones....
Stubby mirrors now, thought they may be a bit small to start with but they suit it really well.
Polished gloss black bases and covers gone back to blue now, didn't like the carbon.
Little and large

Both are very very nice :drool: :drool: :drool:

As i've just said in the other thread....love both cars :cool:

Love the pictures both cars are very nice motors :wink:

I honestly thought the picture in your signature was a bad photoshop of some absurdly-sized wheels on a Golf4.
Build goes to pieces about halfway down the first page for me.
I'll bet it was faster and far more comfortable with the original wheels on.
:grin:
-
Looking real nice mate.. Had a good look round it today.. Looks even better in up close :cool: keep up the good work

:grin:
Were you not hugged as a child? :grin: :kiss: Only joking everyone has their own opinions, it doesn't need to be comftable or fast as I have we have another car for that ..... not slow with 320ftlb of torque tho.

Cheers mate.. It's in the shop now being painted :smiley:
-
Ah so that's why you had the carbon lying about lol see ya in a bit buddy
-
Look all good to me :smiley:
I don't like the yellow bits but that's all
Had one if these too that was mapped they are quite nippy. Run out of puff a bit too quick tho that was my only thing I could say bad about it, 3rd and 4th gear were the strongest.
Who cares if it's not comfortable.. We wouldn't modify our cars if that's what we all wanted
Nice car :cool:
