In my last posts I showed pics of a holey floor and a dropped exhaust, which had all been done in preperation of changing the rod change bushes. A horrible, filthy, sweary, disgusting and ultimately rewarding job which has completely changed the shift!
Its now tight and doesn't crunch into second gear.
I also took the steps of changing all four tyres off the monty IIs, and the constant scraping over bumps and rubbing was doing my head in.
So a few pennies later, four new 195/45/r16 T1Rs are gracing the mk3.
When the rears were taken off, one had been rubbing on the shock, and the other on the arch and had worn a nice groove. Ooops
Only problem is now the wheels appear to be hiding in the arches, so spacers may be required.
The more observant of you may have noticed the roof rack; I do a little bit of mountain biking and didn't fancy puting it in the car and getting mud all over the leather. So a votex bar kit and a thule bike carrier were on the cards.
Then i got a bit bored
IMO the changes I have made over my ownership of this car have transformed it. It drives so much sharper, which I know being a mk3 doesn't say much, but going for a drive still puts a smile on my face.
