got the actual filter from a mate who had it on his zetec s and the pipe work from ebay

 

[minty23]

getting a rubbing noise when turning tight corners at very slow speeds and is worst when on a slope. mines lowered on ap coilovers with standerd droplinks and arb. need some help to stop the rubbing? has anyone else had this problem? how did you cure it?

thanks

 

[J@mes]

sounds silly, but check its not your arch liner that could have come loose rubbing against your wheel on full lock, happened to me!

 

[minty23]

thanks my fault i didnt explain properly nah its definatly the driveshaft as its more of a grinding noise and the arb has a bit of wear on it from this. just need a recommendation on whether there is actually any adjustable droplinks that work on a standard arb or if i need to get an uprated one and what one?

 

[J@mes]

oh right I see, well I know you can get adjustable drop links for this problem, think its quite common. I'm sure someone will know if they fit OEM ARBs or not. or call a VAG tuner to ask?!

 

[minty23]

Awesome car I love the sticker bombing

 

[Murdered LCR]

Wheels have got to go they don't suit the car , will make the car 100% better , like the rest tho see you a prept a while back

 

[minty23]

i would prefer some splits or rota grids but dont have the dosh wouldnt say changing them would be 100% better though. tbh your the first person thats ever said they dont like them but everyone has there own opinon and i might change them for you soon

 

[Murdered LCR]

Don't change them for me lol it's just my opinion and I don't like rs6 wheels , I'm getting grid drifts for mine soon

 

[minty23]

haha thats what im after or some porsche twists

 

[Klone]

i love it mate, really a fan of the bombing, i had some bits done in the engine bay but i swapped them out after a while... just didnt feel them on my car.

i really want an LCR bumper, but their so expensive!

and your in the same boat as me with the rs6 reps... i loved them at first now i want something with dish

Page 114 in PVW this month... Well done mate looks great.

I'd say Porsche twists look good on the Leon, but then I'm biased.
