C6 VRG Chains DONE and new magnex fitted :D
junkie replied to darrensphatvr6's topic in Members Gallery
Get some 20mm adaptors on and change the dishes to smaller 1's (sure furks will say keep them as they are) and then the arch work wont be needed to be pulled as far so it will still look standard with still phat rims, but whichever way you do it its going to cost you, but i prefer the more standard looking arches on phat rims instead of stupidly pulled arches as it ruins the lines of the car, but thats not to say they cant be improved upon. -

Depends how much arch work you need doing but its easily £200 a corner to pull them and then most likely need respraying. -
Agree and get some 2 piece discs, but mega money. Im happy with my brakes for general driving, they do fade slightly on standard discs and pads but they take a while to do so, its not instant.
-
I dont know about the caliper to disc question but the clearance issue is the width of the caliper, they will fit 16's but may hit the back of the wheel face, on my old 17" 5 spokes they needed spacing out 8mm and they had a quite forgiving design so it will be close and most likely not fit at a guess without spacers.

Ibiza 4 stud 305mm Leon 5 stud 312mm The leon has slightly larger calipers i believe.

Proper weapons r us Think it will require the use of some proper anti lag on those beasts
-
Get the camber checked and get used to 17's basically, once the confidence is back its better on 17's apart from no comfort, prob go 50mm max for lowering and change the rear beam bushes that will definatly improve the snakey feel
-
Not sure between the 16v and G60 but i run alot of power, have been for 3 years and i have not fully broke any yet, gearbox is slightly whining now and an outer cv joint is going now. Its the torque that will break things. If it aint broke dont fix it especially if your modifying driveshafts etc, sounds more hassle than its worth if the 1's you have currently work, stick with them until you do break them, then look to upgrade etc

Its looking like a 68mm to me then. Are they VW/Audi parts as well as its stamped with the logo's and the part number i assume which is 037145929B
-
Thinking about it actually the oil cooler has a thermostat which would have been closed as the engine was stone cold so in theory the oil will have remained in the cooler if there was any in the 1st place, so all should be good still, still going to check though :lol: paranoia setting in all for the sake of 0.25L of oil :lol: :lol: :lol: Lets just say i wont be over filling it again :oops:
-
That was when i filled it after the change and after driving it im not sure if it will be lower slightly due to the external oil cooler taking some up will have to check before next use. So confident i was of the knowledge of some people i just poured the full 3.75L straight in.
-
Only just off the max mark
-
Also what is the standard size and any part numbers for the standard and 68mm versions.
-
I have a pulley and i think its 68mm, just wondered where do you measure the 68mm is it the internal diameter, reason im not sure is i should have the standard pulley but cant find it if this 1 is the 68mm. So its confusing me.
-
Oil changed and sounding loads better :D result
-
Cheers then mate, so long as im within in happy, im sure roughly a litre takes you from the min to max
-
I should be ok then, im doing the oil filter as well so i will be just a little short then but within the min and max?
-
Im going to change the oil in a moment on my G60 Just need to check how much oil it needs to fill her back her up as i do not have a full 5L, i assume 3.75L will be sufficient?

The offset should be stamped on as well as an et number ie et35, what size are the tyres as well -
In 2002 i paid £4200 for my G60 with 72k on the clock, back then it was the most expensive i had looked at but was well worth the money compared to the others i had vieved.
