New wishbone? How much did that cost you - I need a couple...

 

[ArosaRacer]

27 pounds plus 8 postage

 

[Boo]

I was going to say they arent that expensive at all. Just a pain in the bum taking the old ones off and putting the new ones on.

 

[ArosaRacer]

its easy to take the old ones out

 

[ArosaRacer]

New arm is in and bolted up but im having trouble with the drop link now as the bushes are to fat to get a turn on the nut to tighten them down, But it was pissing down and blowing a gale so i will try again tomorrow

completly off topic i know, but it still makes me giggle thinking about lydden bhp show...

i tried to talk to you to ask you how your car was and u just turned round and said "quick hurry up and park, your brakes are on fire!!"

[af1]

ooh thats a tempting way to spend some of my xmas bonus, shame i just fitted 2 new tyres .... too expensive to track 18s

 

[ArosaRacer]

Arm and Cv fitted today but light went quickly so its back to it tomorrow

 

[ArosaRacer]

New parts for the wee one are 2.0 16v engine, box, loom, and anything i need from a 1996 Golf gti mk3

Anyone fancy lending a hand?

 

[driveforward]

To make it handle much better you're gonna have to get some serious weight to the back, I bet there can't be that much weight difference between the 1.7 D and a 2.0 16v

 

[F2 Stu]

 

[tris]

That should fly when thats in

 

[F2 Stu]

Hardest bit is getting round the fact the engine mounts are in different places and you need to have drive shafts specially made for it as well as sourcing other suspension/braking parts

Not impossible, but its far from plug and play stuff and a short attention span need not apply

Might be easier to stick it in the back
