  1. Think venom are doing the ak's for £250 at the moment. Only major downside ive found with them is the threaded tube isnt stainless so cover it in copper grease or bike chain lube and cover it with a bag and a couple of ties either end. Gav
  2. button for firing up the deisel genny that runs the feckomatic 500 thats in the boot
  3. nikki had the ak's on her vr before we fitted the highsports. Very impressed for being a budget coilover kit. Ride quality is good. Only downside to the AK's was the threaded adjsuter tube isnt stainless so best to sheath it in somethng to protect the threads hth Gav

  5. we've got a set of 9x16 borbet a's for sale, 5x100 (rare in this pcd). ALSO VENOM ARE DOING fk AK coilovers for £250. Very very good value for money. Only downside is the threaded tube isnt stainaless so youd need to cover it with something HTH Gav
  6. 205/40x16 on a 9j rim is a good compromise in my opinion. Ride quailty is fine and also done a few track days without problems. Only real issue ive come across is the lack of protection to the outer lip of the rim, oh well....stay the hell away from kerbs! Just my tuppenth worth Gav
  7. the barrell. can never find anything through the search

    Had dealings in the past. No problems when buyinfg stuff at the shows. Ongoing issues with them regarding a genuine Audi rs2 front bumper which i cant go into on here. Dont trust the prices or availability in the ad they use in the mags, very very out of date. Gav
  16. Very nice my mates got those in his s2 avant. cant you use mk2 golf or audi coupe/80 recaro subframes? might sit higher though on the runners. Failing that make your own from a set of old rado seats Gav

    better pic Main thing i didnt like with the FK's was the silver coating round the edges. Looked really cheap IMO. I painted mine Metallic looked miles better. Also the fit isnt perfect but a little bit of mainulation on the locating holoes with a dremel son cures this HTH Gav

    I had a set of the smoked crystal rears on one of my old rado's. Defo thought they couldve done with being a fair bit darker. Heres the ones i did on wedge. Tinted the top half red using pinstripe tape over the reverse light to create the stripes. Peel this off then laquer over the whole lot. Couldve done with wet and drying again once the laquer had gone off.
