I know I'm being immensely thick, but are the shocks height adjustable as well as damping adjustable? There wasn't a spanner in the kit, so I assumed they weren't.

The right hand side of clocks has always been dim, and I thought it was just a bulb. However, the other day, I hit a nasty pothole and hey presto, the lights came on fully. Then I hit another bump a few minutes later and it went off again! :mad: Obviously there is some sort of loose connection. Any pointers before I go ripping the clocks out? Cheers

Had a Koni Sport kit fitted by Stealth last Tuesday. The shocks are TAs, and the kit should give a drop of 30-40mm. However, the ride height looks just the same as it did before! :? To begin with, I thought that maybe the kit needed to 'bed in', but it's been nearly a week and it still looks the same :( Any ideas? Cheers

Zoolander! :lol:

Blimey, Nikki, leave it alone! :lol: :wink: Where did you get it done? Looks awesome :twisted:

16v, cheers :) Yeh, always liked the 'Boxer' shape. Only prob is, it's Scorpion, so didn't fit very well at all :roll: Stealth managed to sort it in the end, although it does knock a little. Sounds and looks perfect though 8) Got a KR cam fitted too. Makes a bit of difference. Car certainly feels quicker and revs better. Had a Koni TA kit fitted, and the car is soooo much better now. The floaty/clonky ride has totally gone now, and it handles so much better. The ride height doesn't look much different though :? Will it take a few days/journeys to 'settle'? Got a VT front mount fitted too as the standard mount had totally snapped and the engine was trying to jump out of the car :shock: Much better now!

Nik, nah, am determined to keep it! My wife said she won't let me sell it either :D :wink: Mind you, after paying out quite a hefty bill at Stealth, and finding out that all the bushes need replacing too, the thought briefly crossed my mind! Then the wiper motor packed up on the way home... :mad:

Gotta be one of the nicest looking cars ever made- stunning! Interior looks a bit 'functional' though!

Here's a couple of really crap quality pics from my day at Stealth :)

That's the best wedding car ever! 8)

Or your footmat is caught under the pedal :lol:

What a horrible sight :( Glad you're OK though, mate :)

grimmy, is it Autotech? Just down the road :) Not particularly cheap, but they're very good. They sprayed the grilles on my vRS and did a brilliant job.

Like 'em 8)

Hey, grimmy, just noticed your from Stroud! I'm just down the road in Wotton- I'll keep an eye out for you 8) Nice VR by the way!

General concensus is that original shocks + lower springs is a no-no. The shocks won't last long. Best set up seems to be Koni TA shocks + H&R springs. I'm getting a Koni TA kit fitted tomorrow. My budget won't stretch to the H&Rs at the mo. BBS wheels are 8) As for remapping a VR, don't think it makes that much difference unless you've made other significant mods as well such as a charger.

Liking those wheels 8)

Cheers y'all 8) Quite pleased with the tails. Saved me £130 odd too, was gonna buy some smoked Inpros! Will probably get some eventually, but they're quite low on my list of priorities :wink:

Lovely mota! The interior goes perfectly with the Aqua 8)

Well done, Jim! Really pleased for you :D 8) Congrats on the sale to Scarlett too, although I'm sure you're really gonna miss her :(

Sounds fantastic. Have you still got the K&N on it?

One of my friends had a blue 1.8 16v for years which had beige factory fit leather 8) There's quite a few G60s around with leather, and a few valvers, but yeh, seems to be mainly VR6s.

Completed my first mods (tinted tails & front headlight reflectors) and just given it a clean 8) What do you guys think of the tails? Really couldn't decide on smoked tops or red. Went with smoked 'cos I had a can of the stuff in the garage. Soz about the quality of the pics :oops: -have to make do with my phone :(

I know, I know- I'm just jealous at the end of the day! It's such a gorgeous car! I think that pic makes the ride height look particularly bad :oops: It was the next thing on my to-do list before I sold it. Wheels were priority though- the wheels that were on it when I bought it were :pukeright: Here're a couple more for you :wink:

:oops: :lol: Looking good! Didn't realise you'd got that in- when did you get it?
