to good to be true eh? was it the one with the different coloured sticker? reckon he knew and thought he'd blag u?

 

[rogers]

thanks for that dave ye it has got a nice tone to it, different now iv put that green filter on, alot louder in grunt and with the dump valve, im gna clean my bmc then put it back on. so what wheels are they exactly?

 

[rogers]

right how hard is a forge TIP to fit? because there is a group buy and i think im gna have one, but am worried about fitting

 

[davidol]

deffinately not easy unless youve got axle stands and alot of patience, matt would be the best person to speak to i think as he fitted his

forgot to say matt ive just noticed ive got a brand new spare centre cap for your BBS RZ's, your welcome to have it if you want it

Easy once youve done it a few times.

 

[PhilW]

Easy my arse.


****ing nightmare, especially if the tip has oil in it already.

 

[Jonzy]

Thas because you have all the mechanical skills of a paraplegic in a coma

 

[rogers]

lol well i aint done it many times so its gna be a a nightmare, jonzy wana earn sum ££? u can do it the same time as my head lights? lol

 

[davidol]

think he might take u up on that offer as hes spent loads! lol saying that he might be secretly loaded, and looking at phil's tool set i agree with matt!

how much are the TIPS going for?

 

[rogers]

£99 i think im going to have one, in red, could have it fitted up there have to c, iv spent a load on the car this week new lights, engine mount and remap, and now the TIP

 

[Daz_gibbo]

anthracite leggs bummer. I was looking for them for an age!

 

[rogers]

ye i know they are a stunning wheel, more suited to the silver cupra tho!

 

[Forbez]

Fitting a TIP, mate is abit of a nightmare as its very difficult to get to.

If you've got a set of low profile sockets, that would make things easier.

It isn't the worst thing in the world to fit, but its no, 5 minute fit either!

The problem is getting the tip onto the turbo, and securing it.

 

[Forbez]

BTW i can give you a hand as i did this. (Shock I know)

 

[Jonzy]

wtf do you need low profile sockets for? Just need a 12" screwdriver!

Matt: you get the fox's classics in and keep the tea flowing and ill get the tip and lights done

 

[Forbez]

Maybe not, I had to remove a non standard TIP, so it may have been different to the standard tip.

 

[acidstrato]

yeah tbh i didnt do mine, but i had a look and if you can get to the turbo inlet then it seems pretty straight forward. just gotta be mad enough to jack the front end up so high! seems best way to work from underneath

 

[Jonzy]

Why so high, you lot know how to make a job difficult

 

[PhilW]

I had a nightmare with mine coz i was trying to get the tip back on, so there was loads of oil on it making it slippy as ****.


I could get the tip onto the turbo but couldnt tighten the jubilee up propery, everytime it bit and i tightened it up the ****er slipped off.

Its just about on there now, just nipped.



Think i might order some goodies today as its pay day. Some new centre caps are gonna be coming my way and i'll buy your spacers matt.



What you lot think of RS4 wheels on an ibiza? I'm tempted to get a set.

 

[acidstrato]

which RS4s? theres 2 designs. i really like the new design but iv never seen them in 4x100
