scottybo Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 maybe try a 205 40 16 or a 195 45 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScORTED Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 There's my issue, I have 215/40/16...obviously my issue lies there . Doh! I used to run that size on mine and it was fine. Think I was standard shocks and minus 40 springs on the mk6 also I think money pit was on the same size on eibach minus 30s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy 3i Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 I'm convinced that my shocks are toast...5 year old gmax that have spent 2 years on axle stands. I think this is becoming a money pit now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy 3i Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 So I thought it was about time I updated this . I had a dohc rocker cover painted to replace the manky blue zetec one. Also had my mk5 cabby brace painted black and fitted that http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae339/boomshine57th/6910408D-3348-49AC-A64D-869F98CDCD1C-19039-000003B0C034BDE3.jpg Then after around 1200 miles the inlet cam snapped . Thought it was the injectors but I wouldn't be that lucky...http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae339/boomshine57th/86A49DE2-2156-4D39-A799-6996BB7A0E2D-12900-0000029A23E2BABD.jpg Now I've got my head back...only one bent valve which was lucky! Also had a 1mm skim to raise the compression. http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae339/boomshine57th/DFD70736-83A0-440F-A10D-3F1D5D3C5B68-19039-000003AF15C27E7A.jpg http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae339/boomshine57th/8DBBC57F-3764-4116-BC13-DB3485CDEC10-19039-000003AF1D321571.jpg http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae339/boomshine57th/CC5D7247-0AA8-4AB6-B042-8FAAC7230756-19039-000003AF2B1D346B.jpg I'll try and update this when I get the head back on . Until then...I'm driving this http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae339/boomshine57th/1B7D947C-6410-4EF0-9609-749C577F78F9-1235-0000016AABC08A56.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy 3i Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 Apparently not, should raise the compression. I've also had oversized pistons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahmotorsport Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 About time someone put a 20BHP cam cover on their motor, I've been telling the good people of this forum to go yellow for years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
