    Did he screw me over than :x ? I bought following bits: Wiper arm...............part number-6x2955409c..............£23.46+vat Wiper arm...............part number-6x2955410c..............£23.46+vat Wiper blade............part number-1j2955425a................£10.95+vat Wiper blade............Part number-1j2955426a................£9.23+vat Total.................£78.854!!! As you can see they are different arms and blades, driver and passenger side, they fit well and work amazing its just the price is way higher than all of you lads paid. :roll:
  5. To be honest he said to me the oposite! Aparently the lower section is the bad one as thats where the air mass its lost as the travel is to long! One day they have played with it and they choped of about 1.1/2 inch out of it and welded it back together, and R.Roaded it. Power and torque went up by about 15 bhp/ft! The bonnet wouldnt close because of an angle manifold was. :lol:
  6. Hello there. I had this idea of scraping standard air intake manifold set up on my valver and fit gsxr th. bodies but still keep k-jet. Some time ago i was told by vw motorsport mechanic that standard manifold is very badly designed and robs power for many reasons like long air path and heat bild up. So say i graft 4 th. bodies to front of the engine and make intake box to mate up to k-jet meetering head. All vacum connections could be retained as well as throttle switch. Surely responsivness and power should be way better. Has anyone done this before? Should be fun trying :)

    Rear brakes

    I think there only about £85 from VAG but C&R do them at that price with the conversion hoses and they don't want the old ones back as exchange anymore as everyone wants the alloy ones... I picked mine up from them at Inters for £55 inc. You need to be fairly carful setting them up, you actually need the winding tool even if you have all new kit to ensure the piston is as close to the pads as posible and still be able to move the wheel freely, this will provide a better handbrake and a much better/sharper pedal feel.[/quote:1464a]But want the pads wear affect the pedal feel? :roll:

    MK4 golf brakes?

    How do chaps, re: mk4 rear callipers, i had these fitted to my C before it got written off :( , and it worked fine but i did have very long brake pedal travel, some peeps said this is due to them having biger pistons thus needing more fluid to move them same amount. Anyone else noticed this?

    Fuel Cats ??

    Had one fitted to my 16v, and it seamed to have improved things(oktane) but i,v discovered that my fuel pipe going to meetering head was blocked by sillicone that came from the cat. I had it removed since
