I had it specially extended Daz, I needed it enlarged owing to the constant stream of alloy wheels pouring though it!
Only trouble now is I keep coming home to find East European refugees and farm animals sat in my front room watching TV....so maybe it's a bit too big :laugh:

Very nice mate, are SteveP's ones he sold recently?


Love those wheels big time, hope to get some soon but have a REVO Stage one to buy at GTI International, I also saw some pipes that I just love - Akropvic, not sure if they are big in the acr world but you bikers out there will no doubt know a lot about them.

Andy, a one inch circumcision adjustment at long last! I am sure your good lady will prefer the ride.
You must be as loose as a goose with such an overworked and enormous slot. Is the slvt-slot a two way affair? :grin:

They certainly are StevePs as you'll have gathered by now. I'm really pleased with them, but I've no idea when they'll actually end up on the car!
Funny you should mention Akropovic exhausts and bikers. I know one of the guys quite well on StevePs forum and we were talking sometime last year about Ohlins suspension and Akrapovic exhausts as he's an ex-biker. I was familiar with the names and the fact they were top drawer with reflective prices but wasn't familiar with the bike products.
Needless to say both of us were a bit gobsmacked when we saw the cost of the products for the Golf, if he'd have fitted both to his ED30 he'd have probably paid a third of the cost of the car in the first place! Quality gear though.
