Back on the road!! - UPDATE WITH PICS!!
« on: 17 January 2011, 14:09 »
After 4 weeks being off the road since i sold my AUM, i'm now back on the road with a new MK4 1.8T. A big thank you to Jord (Purely VAG) for the sale of his car with KO4 kit. See the for sale section for pics. The car is now back on standard bumpers. Will put up some pictures when i get round to it. Car is currently on 15" A3 wheels, but will be putting RS6 reps from my old car back on when I can. May swap those after a while though. Loved the drive home from York to Birmingham, really does put a smile on your face, and not as bad on fuel as i thought it would be!! Overall, a good, and quick car! Will post pics if i ever change anything, or add anything in, e.g boost gauges.

Cheers!!

yeah mate, just had it raised up because it was on 15" before, and scraping anything on the underside, even just a minor bump in the road caused havoc!! lol, subframe by front wheels looks a bit of a mess   :laugh:

Thanks, i love the wheels too  :grin: thats why i kept them from my last one incase i had another!  :tongue:

As above, not sure how much its lowered by - i've actually had it raised because it was on 15" A3 wheels and completely slammed to the deck.. had the same wheels on my last MK4 but on standard suspension, so i could guess at about 50/60mm from standard? not sure, i'm tempted to lower it a little more though  :wink:
