How are your arches running at that height? Or do you have mental stuff springs?

I am running pretty hard springs, it's got GTi arch liners in which I managed to set fire to one night lol with someone sat in the back, it rubbed on it for ages and got really hot haha!

Haha that's awesome. Just my opinion but I think the fronts need spaced a bit? Once that's done the stance will be absolutely nailed!!

Yes Pete! My big spacers are on the girlfriends Arosa at the minute but there massively to wide so she's getting some smaller ones and I can run a wider front :)

Oh dear, you are a fine example of what cleaning and maintaining should be like on cars. Congrats for a superb looking car.

So, I've had this intermittent idling problem for a while now, many people have mentioned the MAP sensor, so I took mine out to inspect and clean!

Rolled my car up to my ramps!

Took out the sensor! All clogged up with oily crap!

Cleaned it all up and boom! Engine idles spot on, lets hope it lasts :)

And now, my next problem was, I filled my washers up the other day, come to use them in the bad weather when I needed them most and there was no pressure! Looked at my bottle and it was bone dry! Clearly leaking so that got stripped out and down to repair too!

Rubber seal had become dislodged in its whole and therefore leaking fluid past the pump, I cleaned up the bottle, inside took me ages! And I cleaned up the turret and inner wing aswell....

Bottle after cleaning..

Think you could help me with sizes? :sweating:I'm not the best at maths. PM me please?
Il let you know soon enough, gonna be doing a build for the missis soon!
Adam mate where abouts is that sensor!? Might have to give mine a clean to idles horribly!
On the inlet manifold, down by the brake master cylinder, it's a sod to get out but it's doable, either a T20 or T25 can't quite remember, I blasted mine out with brake leaner as it evaporates faster :)
