bongo Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 7 hours! what took you so long,looks too low at the back ry,or you need to lower the front more the gap in the front arch is too big think you'll have to fit 40's on the back. good work though.

sebsescort Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 nice matey did you use a ramp or axle stands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanML Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 axle stands, i still dont think everything is 100% with it so im checking over it tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hezz Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 i'd keep the gti interior as you've got a 5 door rather than putting the rs2k one in as it'll look like a bodge imo with the tilt handles being there rear discs look great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bongo Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 whats the handbrake like now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanML Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 i havent had chance to have a proper go, it holds on the hill, but the bolt in the car wont do up all the way, and then keeps sliding off, gonna put a new thread on there with a smaller bolt, or get a new bolt on there... plus i have a feeling its holding better on the one side... gonna have it brake tested on monday to see if everything good... i know what you mean now mate by the brakes being amazing... so much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
