ARB 23mm
« on: 18 January 2013, 19:50 »
Hey guys new here just got a golf 1.8GTi Turbo in need of a few things cheap cheap lol.

Just wandring my golf is slammed and makes like a metal on metal sound which i gather is driveshaft and ARB rubbing from what ive read and most say to get 22mm ARB would a 23mm work just as good or have to be 22mm??

EDIT : Also does anyone know how ebay intercoolers are? thinking of getting a Forge one but also looking at ebay ones as there around £200.

Coilovers : bought
Both Driveshafts : need
silver front wing and passenger door (both passenger side) : need
Better induction kit mine comes down infront of tyres and apparently shouldnt be like that :\ : need
ARB : might have one if 23mm is fine for slamming lol
Intercooler : need (have one on front bumper but doesnt connect to anything just sitting there lol...) : need
R32 badges for front and back (really cheap as seen them for £30 each n dont fancy that at all) : need
R32 front lower grills : need
R32 front bumper headlight washer ( the black bit that sits on bumper) : need

probably more i need but all i can think of at the moment dont have the money to buy everything this month but will take what i can.

Thanks guys :)

Just get an Audi TT ARB they go under the driveshaft so that will sort that.
What intercooler? I may be tempted in it ;)

so standard audi tt arb would be fine? and no idea mate no brand on it :\ lol

also dont see how im confusing myself... i seen that a forum was saying to slam (50mm or less) golf its recomended to uprate ARB as driveshaft knocks and said to go for 22mm arb and ive seen a 23mm really cheap so was wandering if that 1mm makes that much of a difference.

No, if you slam the golf you need a arb that goes under the driveshaft and not one that is thicker. If you increase the thickness of the arb without adding a rear arb then you'll increase the under steer. Go in the maintained section and look for the thead about arb's and what ones to buy.
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

Go find a ruler and see what 1mm is! You may as well wrap some tape around the arb if that's your theory lol! Your best best is to find an r32 arb.

As said by me  :wink: Audi TT, R32, Audi S3 ARB's will all be fine
