That's looking lovely mate, i've just aquired a flash red VR6 and am looking to lower it soon and get a few small body work issues sorted, your car is a great inspiration!

 

Cheers.

 

Have to admit, I had a certain disliking to Red cars until i got hold of the Rado... nice and easy to keep clean aswell :D

hmmm, you spotted it then :D its just a feeler really Bally.. hence the optimistic price 8)

 

Think i am just toying with myself... think once the golf has gone i will be 100% committed to the rado, the way it needs to be, as i have so many ideas flying around in my head at the moment. :gag: :)

 

I almost bought one of the Dubpower R32 conversion manifolds at edition38 to keep me on track with my plans for a DIY R32 swap so i dont keep changing my mind all the time :lol:

 

Mate spoted it & told me lol R32 in yr motor would be sweet!! you still got the Ed1?

mike how much clearance do you have between the wheels and the struts front and rear? Have you stuck with et25 or are you running spacers?

[Shaggy 0]

clearance wise the fronts are fine with ET25.

 

The rears are alot closer to the coilovers though, after i fitted the camber shims on the rear the rim actually touched the coil of the spring, so i had to remove the helper springs to raise the main spring up a bit.. could still do with being spaced out ever so slightly.. maybe 5 - 10mm.. mainly to bring out the rears a little more purely for aesthetics, to make it look better.. but its looking pretty much spot on now.

yes it does look good, how much camber have you got on the front?

[Shaggy 0]

not entirely sure tbh...was a bit of guess work when fitting the coilovers lol! i still need to get the front camber properly laser alligned, but i am gonna go for around -1 deg on the fronts, should be soritng that when i get paid next week.
