robz' mk3 gti 8v - dusty mauve more door!!

[robz]

well an update -
what a day, i thought i was being clever and decided on my half day i would replace the arb links -
the side that was meant to be fooked - 20 min job - really easy!
the side that was meant to be ok - the bottom bolt was ceased onto the old arb - craftily get my sis to pop down to the scrappy for another - great
put it on - torque it up, snap, bollox!
looks like im goona have to have the other from the scrappy too doesnt it
should have left it!! lol
but i can certainly feel the difference with the other side, the roll has reduced, but i dont think that it is the cause of the wheel wobble, think i may have had sh!t tyres!!

[robz]

well,
sorted the arb drop links and guess what - still wheel wobble,
so bit the bullet and booked it into the garage to sort tomoz -
and though, im gonna just swap my wheels back again, just to see for the last time - no wobble.
so must be these tyres!!
very annoyed!!!
so now i need some new rear tyres!! again, cost i dont wanna be spending!!!
cheap tyre places anyone???
but... the front feels soo much better now those buggered drop links are done

Got my tyres from Steve's in Buxton Mate.

Pretty reasonable on price and will sort them straight away 

[robz]

cheers m8!!
cba messing around with my m8 and internet places again!!
want it done properly this time!!
did you make it to dubfreeze???

[Andy-H]

Nah Mate, fecking snow blocked me in 

The main roads were clear but it's a big hill for me to try and get down to reach the main road so the motor stayed put 

At least I saved some money 

[robz]

lol, bet the wallet like you that day
cant wait to be released to the next show, ya wanna sort a bit of a convoy out??
quite a few of now i think, even though most haven't met

[Andy-H]

Yeah, we can sort summat out Mate. Think UD is the next one (hopefully the snow won't be around by then  )

There are a few guys I know nearby who would be up for a road trip 

[robz]

what date is that one m8?
sorry of youve told me already, my head up my arse with things atm, new job and moving soon are too much for my little brain to work,
thinking now ive smoked those rears im gonna have to smoke the side repeaters to match, lol
if its not one thing....

[Andy-H]

It's never ending Mate 

When you've done them you'll find another thing to do............I'm having the same kind of problem 

UD is around 14th March (not checked yet  :embarassed:) but supposed to be a good 'un 

How is the move going?? you found anywhere yet?

[robz]

lol, always the same with em, thats why i had to sell the mini, cos that was about to be vtec'd, lol
well, its a case of the mrs finding work that she wants!
hoping to find out in a week or so, lol.
looking at loughborough area, but could be anywhere!!
