Give me a shout if your deffo selling the wheels mate. Been bugging you long enough about them lol.

I'd take them without tyres as well.

I'll have the tyres then lol

 

[jake]

the joms ride pretty good, a bit bouncy but in line with what the oem struts were,

everybody knows yellow is the fastest colour, lol

next mod i would like to do is door warning lights, maybe interior handle illumination, even mirror indicators, but all require cutting as there from a mk5 golf, as seat decided to do away with the door lights

heres a pic of the miror.

the led's are actually encased in plastic, the plan is to make a small doned piece of clear plastic to fit in the hole to make it level,

jake

Jake sorry to be a pain but do you have the link to the led lights i would need for the ''puddle light'' mod please as i'm going to have a go at doing this in advance lol

 

[jake]

I'll have the wheels Jake if your willing to part with them. Cash waiting let me know bud.

 

[jake]

Well my new bag finally came in and its wrong.

The old one had a locking ring recess this one doesn't

From looking at pics the new style have a retaining bracket so my strut and new bag are currently at the machine shop having one made.


This air ride will be fitted this bloody weekend.

 

[CraigFrTsi]

lol good luck with it

 

[jake]

I know lol.

Should be ok tbh. It's all been tested off the car.

 

[jake]

Started fitting air after lunch.

So far all wires are run, as are the airlines. Both rear bags done and the ns front

Tomorrow it's a case of remove the arb, fit the last strut and then the boot install then air it all up.

Summer wheels have been washed, sealed and ready to go on.

 

[big eck]

Look forward to seeing this all done.

 

[jake]

Finally done,

Install took about 8-10hrs give or take,

The front needs sticking on our hunter machine to get it aligned, after that maybe some new front tyres

That looks the absolute nuts mate.

First things first, what's the road holding like on it now???

One of the main things that I like about it is how the rears have been tucked in a bit so there's no more poke.

 

[chrisr45]

Just uploading my pics jake, If there are any that are decent ill post them if you want

 

[jake]

Yeah post away Chris.

Eck the ride feels a tab better tbh. The steerings all over at the front so I've not given it the beans yet. Still bedding in n testingfor leaks so safety first
