im not a lover of major stretch at all. so none of the wheels above would be any good then really ? im terrible with wheel fitment cant get my head around it all haha cheers lads Alex

looking for any infomation on what will fit and wont fit looking into a set of xxr alloys 15 or 16" Et0 and 8.25j also a set of klutch alloys 15x8.5 Et 17 or 16x8/9 Et unknown. any advice would be much appreciated as im terrible, also any photos advice on what your running would be great to get a good idea of what works and what doesn't. look forward to a response cheers for looking Alex

No mate I haven't really noticed anything, id say the angle on them isnt really a problem but the metal flakes dont sound very good, have you checked the thread on the top of the coilover? there shouldn't be any metal rubbing really

I have the same problem but on my GTI they dont seem to move but are sat weird since ive lowered it. ive got Fk highsports if that makes any difference, replace the top mounts but still the same i took it as camber being different ? cant find the powerflex top mounts either

Been thinking of re-locating my CDA, had a test fit yesterday and ive decided to go to the right of the engine http://s1127.photobucket.com/albums/l633/alexscotty/?action=view&current=IMG_05621.jpg bought some aluminium 45 degree angle pipe to move it forward and out of the way a bit more. I removed some of the plastic as you can seen in the picture just for a bit more airflow. was just wondering if a air bypass valve would be a good idea, I think the idea is that it doesn't allow water into the filter ? what do people think of the idea because everyone seems to mount them over the inlet manifold and cut the engine cover? Cheers Alex

fair enough i think il keep a eye of for a set of anniversary seats then cheers for the help

wonder if mk 3 cupra seats would fit ??

just wondering what seats people put in there car, what they look like and how easy do they go in, post your pics and info

cheers mate, helps to know that your going about it the right way and it wont be a waste of time trying it out will get it over the pit sometime soon

ive just bought a mk4 gti quickshift and it look exactly the same or very similar. only thing is i just found a video if it being fitted to a golf and its a lot more work than i anticipated. you have to unbolt it from underneath by the looks of it which requires removing the centre section of the exhaust and heat shield ect. can anyone tell me if this is right ??

ive got 195/40/16 on my 7j wide wheels and they sit with a subtle bit of stretch if you can really call it stretch

yeah i fancy a change and I was well impressed with that two stage polish and yeah i had mine given to me by ford

has anyone heard of this company i had a sample of there two stage polish and the car came up trumps compare to my mates using autoglym and maguires polish was the smoothest the car has ever been. http://www.diamondbriteshop.co.uk/ Will buy some more of there products and keep you informed but does anyone else use or recommend this stuff ?? Cheers

fronts are the same but backs are different

ive got a set of eibach springs in the house just sat the car on coil overs (thank god) i believe there a 30mm drop just wondering how much they go for second hand. cheers

haha the boot is a very small glove box. cheers for the advice though, may buy a glovebox and offer it up and see what needs to be done

just bought a lupo but i hate not having a glovebox is killing me ive seen this done in a lupo before just wondering how difficult it would be surly its a pretty simple fit but it is a vw any ideas opinions Alex

no idea mate i just assumed that was the fault code :/

ive got a lupo gti sat on springs atm. and coming from a corsa sat on springs i think the handling and body roll is terrible. sharp corners it handles fine body roll is a big issue but on the more open corners i seem to try and put power down or go on the brakes and it just squirms and looses alot of grip. i thought they would be great fun on just standard suspension but apparently i was wrong anyone else feel the same or have different views ?? Cheers

am I right in saying its just a loose connection or is it a actual valve fault will have a good dig round tomorrow, see what im working. and cheers defcon5

finally got up my mates house who has vagcom, it gave me 036906033 evap purge valve N80 open circuit from what ive read up on ( quick read ) is that it is the it vents off all excess fuel fumes into the charcoal filter and then releases them at a later date. if im wrong please correct me, but (open circuit) just loose or faulty connection i take it. anyone have any idea were about's and what this thing looks like cheers

yeah mines the engine with the bolt through it. he did mention a full stainless system but i think its standard. will get vagcom on it and see what happens cheers for the help lads will get back with the results

just bought myself a lupo gti and when i picked it up had the engine check light on. i fitted a CDA to it last weekend and the light went off and came back on about 50 miles later. car isnt down on power and seems to have no running problems what so ever. any advice would be great. Im sure there will already be a thread on a similar problem but cant seem to find it, so if you can help or point me in the right direction cheers

Hi alex Scott live in newport south wales just baught myself a lupo gti as my second car and well im impressed. drove a corsa sxi which i thought was a good car but christ i love my shows and meets and all a good bunch of mates all owning vw cheers.
