New wheels and you might want to lower it as the suspension is a little erm ...................... high ! You excited ?

 

[dubburke]

Yes i am looking forward to it, i have just bought a mk2 golf gti 16v aswell , so i am a bit of a VAG nut

id say a set of coilovers *nods* low on coilovers and it handles like a go-kart

 

[Boo]

Im really liking that there, nice colour and doesnt look like you need alloys. Definately lowering it should be your 1st move

Lower it

For why, look at craig's signature

I have a set of BBS splits just refurbed to go on

 

[Boo]

Wohoo !! How stunning are they going to look ? Nice

yeah but if you go crazy low like me you need to avoid

- sudden rises in the road ( to avoid hitting the nose )
- peaks in the road ( cause it catches the underside)
- speedbumps ( cause the front wheels either A get over them and then the speed bump gets stuck as the car will sit on the sills stuck on the speed bumps ,B the front bumper will hit it ,C the Cat will catch on it )
-pot holes cause theres no suspension travel
- big *ss potholes cause the wheels go into them and then the bumper and sill hit the ground

No i won't go crazy low as i live in the country, and the roads are not great, 40mm lower i think

 

[cardaft]

Hope everything goes a-ok with it

 

[cardaft]

Yeah, hope its as you haped it would be

I bought my TDi Arosa one year today

Going to give it a wash soon to celebrate

 

[dubburke]

Drove back the 200 miles no problem, it feels alot bigger than it actually is, and is very capable of keeping up with traffic, i would say a remap would do wonders for the car.
Anyone have a remap on their tdi? Any drawbacks?
