my mate's got a st4 g40 and the thing is rapid off the mark. they are quite suprisingly quick. I love em....they just don't look like a raddo does....

what sorta mileage / condition is it in Bill?

Having said that...the vr6 has a lower sump doesn't it?...so maybe that might cause you a problem if you're lower than 30mm?...(( ive not had a vr ))

Excellent, great info cheers mate! It's a 1.9

Cheers Nick, i'm going to look at a Tdi with 120k miles tommorow, brand new MOT, cambelt change, blah blah blah , they want £850, seems like a sensible buy to me...i'm gonna be doing alot of motorway miles, I reckon a tdi would be ideal for that.

On a tangent, Am I allowed to buy a car with no tax from somewhere and drive it back to my garage without taxing it?...seems you need a cover note to tax a car, and that will take at least a day to come through?

hmmmm.. was 1996 not the year that they changed the design to the more rounded one then? oh..and good link dazzy cheers!...although the forums hardly buzzin! :lol:

Has anyone got a pic of a 1996 passat ?....i've tried my favourite search (( google image )) and it's letting me down. :? ... I'm not sure what shape it is, they were alot more boxey at one stage. oh...and a saloon one if poss :wink:

Have you ever had a fff..f.....fffffff.....ffffffffffff...fffffffffffffffffffffffffff nah..can't do it.. but have you had one?

mmmmm s4 MONDEO?????????????????? thats ...thats.....thats a ...fff..f..fffff...ffff....nah..i cant say it.

speaking of which.....that check hasn't arrived yet dooooooood :wink: :lol:

yep..very true...but i was just disagreeing that with any more than a 30mm drop you'l be scraping the road all the time...cos I didn't ground out once with a 40mm drop. Whereas my las g60 was dropped 80mm and had a 90mm splitter...and sometimes (( depending on the camber of the raod )) I could leave my car parked with no handbrake and not in gear and it wouldn't move because it was stuck to the floor :lol: ..gutted I never got a pic actually. EDIT-- and judging by my typing today...i'm the drunk :D

gotta dissagree with that dunk. I had a 90mm splitter, dropped 40mm with 15" rims with low profile tyres, never had a problem really, maybe not quite as practical as 30mm...but not too bad. I'd deffo go with the coilovers myself, then you can pick and choose. I had fk's (( not sure which one's but they were hight and damp adjustable)) and found them to be a nice ride.

you can wind it up and down manualy mate.

thats probebly easier mate, and they aren't expensive. :thumb right:

yeah..just carefully lever it out with a flat head screwdriver.

...look.....a dancing badger.......

My guess would be that one. Go into GSF and they'll show you it on their screen.

I'd have to agree whole hartedly, you really do get what you pay for mate.

looks like an awsome trip. Out of interest, how much does it cost to enter mate?

Andy665....if i remember correctly your account was deleted for some unknown reason meaning your details were started again...hence the " joined 07 july 05 " and the 431 posts? Is Santa Rosa anywhere near Orange County then potato? EDIT...and yes..ill vouch for Andy aswell...very helpfull guy indeed, and owner of 2 soon to be 3 raddo's, he's not gonna be leaving this place for a while :wink:

Where's Santa Rosa potato?

ABS then maybe?....

Or indeed a 'giant' hornet?

A more likely suspect than a hornet from the costa del sol. :lol:
