They will be on a golf (not a corrado fan).. i have plenty of sets of wheels and not enough cars.. So when they actually make it on may be a different story.. never even realised the old players MK3 was running them.. Yours do look very good with them on..

bennyk 1,238 Posted September 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) Went to Players show on Sunday as it's literally 10 minutes down the road from me, (well then an hour of traffic around the airfield as its was so ridiculously busy) . I went back to my Compomotive TH monos for it as I like the whole Motorsport(ish) look they give the car; As it was only down the road I thought I'd see how low I could get the car on the coilovers, this was how low!;Then a few very kind people sent me some shots of the car from the day; Players is a great show by the way if you can make it one year with a amazing mix of cars highly recommended Edited September 26, 2015 by bennyk c00k, ky_uk and Bealieboy 3 Link to post Share on other sites

bennyk 1,238 Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) After a few small set backs like relocating the maf, a few shows and the arrival of this little one; Say hello to Lennie, I'll have I'm in a lowered little tykes car soon....in red of course! Anyway I managed to get a day booked off work and a mapping session booked at Stealth, the car runs the Ecu from the black Vf charged car so it was half way there! It drove ok but had a big flat spot around 3.5k, after speaking to Vince he assured me he could map it and get it running right. I was expecting 270-280bhp and nearly fell over half way through when Vince told me it'd be probably make 300+, well chuffed! It ended up at 307bhp and drove back brilliantly in between traffic and artics not letting each other over take so I did 56-57mph all the way across the A14!!

bennyk 1,238 Posted November 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Just a little update, as this being a Dad stuff seems to take a fair bit of time up! I'm planning to change the clutch soon, so got the gearbox I've had sitting around for ages which is fitted with a Quaiffe diff cleaned and painted up and fitted with new driveshaft and end cap seals. While I was at it I smoothed a few casting marks out as well, this was the etch primer, All done and back together; I've also reinforced a spare clutch fork I had laying about, so now I just need to get a clutch and fit it.

bennyk 1,238 Posted November 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) Wasn't to hard just a bit of elbow grease, a small dye grinder, a can of etch primer, a can of gloss black and finally a can of wheel silver, I restrained myself from going too mad and 2 pack priming it to smooth it and then base and laquering it, just wanted it to look clean and new.
