bungy 2 Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Longest car i've owned is my Golf. If you're feeling yourself wavering, leave it for a while and come back to it. You'll soon remember why you like it so much. Link to post Share on other sites
cornishvr6 52 Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Thanks for the support guys, i appreciate it So today i was supposed to be replacing the heater matrix but it never turned up (quietly glad), so i got to work bypassing it....luckily i happen to find a perfect sized piece of tubing (hope dad dont realise the mop is now shorter), Worked perfect so it will stay like this until my samco kit and new matrix arrives.Covered various wires in the bay in black plastic conduct to tidy them up as they were looking a bit rubbish, Another pic of the newly replaced standard rear lights, Really annoying me how the rear box sits at the moment, going to replace the exhaust mounts with powerflex items and hope it will sit better. spent quite a long time detailing with some new products as we have a local vag meet tomorrow, quite impressed with the results. (Also had great help from the misses)Really pleased with how it is coming together, Im keeping it for sure (l) Link to post Share on other sites

tjsmudger 2 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 We all go through those moments, don't worry about it, those notions of selling soon leave the body. Personally it's happened to me twice in nearly three years of ownership! Link to post Share on other sites
cornishvr6 52 Posted March 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Just a last pic with the BBS wheels fitted, Taken at a local vag meet last weekend..some tasty rides turned up too, Now the car is looking as if it is in winter mode, not very nice but its only temporary...watch this space.Also had a couple of parcels waiting for me on friday, some of these (Thanks to member chief ka kar)and thanks to member Jason2875 for the 288mm brake setup inc new goodridge hoses, gave the calipers a sand down today and a fresh coat of silver paint, Just awaiting some EBC redstuff ceramic pads to arrive and will fit these next weekend Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 the rubber hangers probably arent the problem, the hangars on the scorpion are basically balance points they dont make the box sit straight naturally, its probably shifted at the connection point over the back axle. Can you twist it straight if you grab it? Try loosening it off, maybe putting some fresh exhaust paste over the mating points and re doing it up good and tight.Mikalor supra clamps (the model name, not specifically for a supra :-) ) will tighten up with a lot more force than a U clamp and more uniformly Link to post Share on other sites
