bennyk 1,238 Posted August 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Quite proud of this old girl after running faultlessly to Leeds and back to VW festival, there can't be many cars that can do nearly 175,000miles then can take someone bolting a supercharger to the engine! Now to get it booked into Stealth for a proper mapping session, can't wait! http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/17/0cf754e65840e703722b56d044527b70.jpg[/img Bealieboy, c00k and Dave_ciw 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like you're a lot more into it than me, I just wanted a pond so I could throw food in there and stare at fish after a shitty day of working on cars! might have to have a chat with you about ulcer problems though, lost a couple this year! Anyway back onto the correct subject! These turned up yesterday BBS Avantgarde design S in 8x17 5x100; Ordered up a 195/40 17 nankang ditch finder pro or whatever it's called to give one a try, Took her into work today as the sun was out, got the air con re gassed; it's all working spot on nowI'm sorry but you can keep your cleaned bays and I'll keep my a/c complete with messy pipeworkThen got home and tried the wheel and tyre on with a 15mm spacer as they're Et32 but it seems that 15mm is a bit much so going to get some 10mm spacers and go from there; I like em! I think and from what I can make out they're pretty dare I say it...........rare! Maybe I need to sell some wheels now Bealieboy, D11PS, ky_uk and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Dave_ciw 507 Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Nice wheels mate Price on the Gold ones maybe?? However what I really wan't (if you get the time between fitting wheels) is a write up or little how to on how you took on the stone chips. After a chat at VW Festival you said you dabbed a few in and flattened them back. The finish was perfect... A little guide maybe I could make a sticky in the body work section!! Need to do my own but no matter how I do it they end up looking like a teenagers forehead fuck sake... Also have a massive key scratch on my 300 I want to tidy up.... Only if you don't mind sharing your secrets chap.. ky_uk and Bealieboy 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Bealieboy 1,625 Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 That looks a lot different now Ben. What's with the ditch finders though?! D11PS 1 Link to post Share on other sites
daveyboy 897 Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 They remind me of Borbet C's I think they were. They look good Ben bennyk 1 Link to post Share on other sites
bennyk 1,238 Posted August 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 That looks a lot different now Ben. What's with the ditch finders though?! that was the only tyre our suppliers had in stock in 195/40 17, though I may get brave and try a 185/35 17 which would be almost the same rolling radius as my 195/40 16's on there now, only nankang make those though! I don't want to have to wind my coilies up that's against my religion! D11PS and Bealieboy 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm gonna need a bigger shed I think. Yeah I'll try to put a little how to together, the only problem is, it takes a long time in between colour/clearcoats for it to dry properly and you really need to do it with 2 pack lacquer so it drys as hard as the surrounding lacquer, as 1k lacquer will never dry as hard and it just polish's away if you get what I'm trying to say........... basically it's a right ball ache! daveyboy, D11PS and Dave_ciw 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Bealieboy 1,625 Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Those nankangs aren't too dreadful to be fair, there's a lot of modded cars that wear them! bennyk 1 Link to post Share on other sites

bennyk 1,238 Posted August 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Been busy this last week with the car, first I got the Eurospec 280mm rear discs that were on the black VR I broke machined as they were quite badly corroded after sitting on that car going nowhere for a couple of years, luckily the car had done hardly any miles with them fitted so they had loads of meat left on them, this was before fitted the black Golf; Discs after being machined by a local machine shop;Next to the standard size disc;Removing the caliper spacer bracket from the old axle, needed a bit of heat to get them off;Old discs and heat shields removed;Then all back together; Then half of the reason for putting these brakes on was my new wheels now make the brakes very visible, so got them on with the super skinny 185 tyres on, ride height and spacer size still needs playing with; Bealieboy, VR6Pete, daveyboy and 2 others 5 Link to post Share on other sites
