Thooooom Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 looks like how mine used to !give it a clean any plans to lower it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfOfZero Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 I'd imagine there is plans to lower it if he's bought coilovers..and btw buddy, you have a 1.4 engine in there.... and drum rear brakes??? The Lupo/Arosa 1.4's come with rear disc brakes for a reason.. Quicker you go, faster you need to stop!!Although I could be completly wrong.

Thooooom Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) whaaaat, when i looked earlier, i swear all that was on this thread was the top picture and top paragraph :Sand yeah, 1.4S models have rear drums. not discs Edited December 10, 2011 by Thooooom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfOfZero Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 :S So is it just the Gti then? Strange because I once said on here I was contemplating putting a 1.4s engine in my 1L, and a well know user on here told me I'd also need the rear disk brakes off the same model?? Anyway, soz to hijack this dudes thread!! Alecvincent, look in the For Sale section on here and you may find the odd breaking thread ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesTdi Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 You are completely wrong . Mines standard 1.4 with drum brakes on rear only sport, gti and diesels have rear discs! Only Sports and Gti's have rear discs, Diesels (both sdi and tdi) have drums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alecvincent123 Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 yeh she certainly needs a good clean, and i fitted the coilovers yesterday so shes now sat on her ass! Just need to drill a lower hole for the rear shocks so the rear will go down more.And brakes is always a good idea anyway i think, i will be investing in them shortly.Also i thought the for sale section would be a good place to look but i didnt want to enquire just yet as like im say im currently getting on a plane atm! LOLThanks for the advice, i will be updating as i go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
