    one of my favourite tdi's :)

    Cheers pal Il be getting it mapped soon so il be at your standards

    v jealous! mine looks gay compared to that!

    think its the wheels that make it.

    lol get some nice wheels then dude

    Hey dude I've just bought. A set of polished pots with 25mm spacers dou you have any scrubbing at all?

    Nice one I saw you gave that chap an offer. I had **** loads of rubbing Ive had to give it a bit of camber and grind the arches a bit and them paint them back up so it dont rust. When I first put them on with the whole adjuster out they caught just rolling up my road. I would get your arches rolled, do what I did, raise it up or get 20mm adapters. I also had to do the front passenger side as that caught going round islands due to the wheel been turned.

    But its all sound now I want to go lower so I might have to take some more off.

    If you need any tips pm me

    Bloody Beautiful.

    If you dont mind me asking how much did the pots cost, and also whats it lowered on?

    Edit ... Doesnt matter i actually read the information philjs :D and £45! how did you get them for 45!??

    Lol yeah 45 quid. If u have a look on eBay they are all really cheap coz they are old and standard but once polished are really effective.

    The wheels cost 45, tyres 135, and the adapters 100 second hand, cost be about 35 for parts to polish them (sand paper nitromores polishing kit ect)

    There is a set on the bay polished with no tyres for £350

    did it yesterday and I'm really happy with it.

    Handling is better as there's not as much body roll

    Don't look funny on my 165 although it would look sexy on some 8s or 9s

    Il see how the tyres wear

    thanks for the replies I brought some washers yesterday and tried to fit them today. Upon removing the drum I realised the hub bolt is bigger than I thought so il have to borrow one off a mate.

    Gib I've got about that much on my front and I've not noticed any odd tyre wear but only time will tell, good job my nanks are only 33quids

    Alright everyone, Looking at getting some camber soon but needed a few words of wisdom from dubbers with experience.

    Im going to use washers untill I can get hold of some shims but are washers ok to use, they aren't going to mess my hubs up or anything?

    How much extra tyre wear are we talking? Will I be shredding through tyres every month?

    Ive been told that the ride is very twitchy when my pal did it to his polo, is this the same with the lupos?

    Thanks guys its a big help.

  20. Hub adapters keep coming loose??

    Cheers cobblers. Well I've give them a good look over yesterday and all looks good. What i did was screw in the extension bolt, which goes through the alloy through the adapter and into the hub, into just the adapter and hub to hold it even rather than it just sitting on the three bolts, and then I tightened them all up slowly a bit at a time so they were all even, then hooked a round spanner over the allen key to make it tight (then I took the long bolt off).

    I was out last light and there has been no probs so Far think I might have solved it, just got the mother down my neck that they are too dangerous grr

  22. Hub adapters keep coming loose??

    Ive only had my pepperpots on a couple of days and when i Was driving home yesterday and noticed a clicking sound from the wheels, I thought it was a brake line catching so I stopped and had a look and there was nothing there so wen I got home I got the wheel off to inspect and noticed the hub adapter bolts came loose. So I tightened them back up and the noise went away. I also did the other side which was a bit loose ( if only got the fronts on ATM as my other tyres were low). It's happened again today :-(

    I've been told not to over tighten the bolts coz they are allen keys.

    What am I doing wrong?

    They are fk 4x100 to 5x100 25mm

    Thanks everyone
