[rashcupra]

clutch has been bedded in now and ive started to ease the power down and so far its running LOVELY and no knocking no blowing so far hope this is the problems solved now now i can drive it propperly i dont think i could ever sell up

raised the car back up yesterday as imo was TOO low and i couldnt go over 30mph without rubs but now its handling alot better still look lowish and i dont get any rubs

cleaned all suspesion up aswelllook brand new again

[CupraJimbo]

Pleased to hear its running ok so far mate (not wanting to jinx you of course!!!). Any chance of posting some shots of it now you've raised the coilovers as I'm still debating wether or not to take the plunge!!!

 

[rashcupra]

um here are the shots of the rear before and after


BEFORE!

AFTER!

THOUGHT THIS WAS FUNNY MY VW GOLF 10INCH WIDE WHEELS WITH 20MM REAR SPACERS

 

[UncleFester]

Some nova arches and you'd be there Rash

 

[stuart86]

i love those borbet rims... i take it they were justa trial fit tho and not actually staying on the car

 

[rashcupra]

yeah bit too wide thought whilst i was polishing my brakes and coilovers up id have a trial fun fit

 

[UncleFester]

Mmmmm can you not do something with the arches to make them fit? They look really smart on there!

 

[wez1981]

very very nice - although im not a fan of the wonder bra's

 

[westoncraig]

rash what did you use to make your alloys gleem like that?

 

[Ric 2001]

Elbow grease + not the original cupra alloy colour. I take all 4 wheels of and give then a good clean with Viro-Sol and tyres with Raven
from clover chemicals. No pinking of my red calipers yet.

Rash is that height on the coilover, still with the adjuster cup out?

 

[rashcupra]

paint them ford silver and water and soap

 

[Ad Lav]
