dinkus 10 Posted October 11, 2004 On the subject of GSF, if regional outlets get rewards for service etc, make a note of the Ipswich branch. They have always been superb with my orders and are friendly and helpful :lol: I'll second that, the guy in there on Sat was great, found what I wanted straight away, re-organised half the warehouse to find the part Supercharged had ordered in and had been put in the wrong place and was just bloomin nice too. The woman that tried served me earlier in the morning and couldn't find the (same) part number I needed on the system was pretty useless though :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted October 11, 2004 Yeah, there always friendly and sort me out but the amount of times I order stuff and it goes missing and gets re-ordered :mad: - thats why I asked him to look again, I knew they were back there somehwhere! The woman that tried served me earlier in the morning and couldn't find the (same) part number I needed on the system was pretty useless though She is usually ok and fairly knowledgable, made me laugh tho, you go in and ask for a part number that they say they can't match on there system, I bring the mount with me, guy takes it and finds something that looks similar, opens the bag and its got the same fecking VAG part number written on it as mine :lol: Result for you tho Dom, £9 better than £30!

Aye, it did seem a bit chaotic in there :lol: and yeah score on the price of the mount, shame about the price of the labour to fit it :( Oh well, at least it's on now :) Once I get the fuel pump in I need to take the C out for a nice drive and get the new gearbox oil flowing through the meshes too.

Supercharged 2 Posted October 11, 2004 Aye, it did seem a bit chaotic in there MInd you, the staff were still recovering from a visit from the Haywire and his 'exhaustive' purchasing... apparently they had to do a stock take after he left and 3 of them had to have therapy... :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kev did seem rather too excited about that exhaust. It was the industrial size tub of Vaseline next to it that was particularly worrying though.

You didn't see what I did earlier mate... there he was, bent over his new sunroof assembly rubbing it all over shouting 'you will tilt and slide... b1tch!!' :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pat_McCrotch 0 Posted October 14, 2004 Bump stop is the wrong term. They are actually spring "assistors" and are supposed to be ridden on permanenty. You have to trim them the ride height (ie 35mm) drop though, otherwise their effect is too pronounced. When I had my Polo :oops: lowered 45mil the bump stops stayed standard length at the rear (113.5ml). Would 45mil be a bit too much to cut them by? At least I now know why it sits so stupidly high at the rear! :mad: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least I now know why it sits so stupidly high at the rear! :mad: If you've removed 45mil from the ride height, it's a good idea to remove 45mil from the bump stops too. It'll certainly make it ride a lot better ;) Although you'll lose the bad-ass ass-in-the-air look that mine has 8) :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted October 14, 2004 LOL, you jesters Dinkus and Supercharged! I was well chuffed with GSF last week. They ordered my exhaust in next day and it was well wrapped. And being one piece, the chap helped me put it in the car too. Jolly decent on him :lol: Neil, yes you will need to cut the bumpstop down the same effective drop as the spring. Take 40mm out of them and see how you get on with that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
