legvw 0 Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Have you gone with gen drop links? Have you thought about a rear antirollbar change, a whiteline 1? Supposed to be really good. Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted July 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Have considered a r32 anti roll bar as there supposed to be good. But not got the cash yet to get one. Will be going with genuine drop links though. Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Are you going to shorten the genuine drop links. Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted July 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Don't think theres any need to shorten the rear ones is there. Hope not as wanted to do them next weekend but don't own welding equipment. My front ones are shortened. Link to post Share on other sites

spadam 7 Posted August 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Yea so many electrical conections and trying to remeber were everything go's back lol. Hardest part was fitting the cable into all the runners as you have to really strech it over the lobes then rotate each one so the cable falls into place. Link to post Share on other sites

bungy 2 Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Finish on the paint looks good. Rear spacers next? Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted August 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Definetly rear spacers 10-15mm either side im thinking.Will have a decat sorted to so just need to get the money to get it mapped before i put the decat on though. Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted August 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Also removed the rear badges yesterday. Just need to get a glass plug for the rear window but they seem to be £25 thought someone would be selling these on ebay by now. Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 You can put the de-cat on and live with the management light until you get it mapped. A glass plug is worth the small investment or the Stig will keep poking your rubber grommet through. Link to post Share on other sites

spadam 7 Posted September 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Removed my old alternator tonight and tried for 2.5hrs to refit new one with no luck. Paul is going to pop round in the morning to have a go. So annoying that i can not for the life of me align the new alternator with the rear holes. Hopefully i will have it back together early tomorow morning. Then just need to figure out a way to remove battery clamp as its rusted solid and now just spins with the sleeve underneath.

spadam 7 Posted September 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Well all sorted paul pop round saturday morning and noticed the alternator was catching on the bracket so we needed to shave some of the alternator away for it to sit correctly. Also drilled out the bolt for the battery and will look for a new battery tray and bolt to replace the old one. Car is now working and great to be driving again. Link to post Share on other sites
