Yeehhhhhhh, found it on vagcars?haha

[Alex 17]

Yeah just happend to turn up and was like ahhhh! click , Bad times how much they costing you a corner?

 

[Scott-o]

Not as much as on their website but best not to ask lol

 

[Alex 17]

Haha i always took you for a bargin hunting kinda guy ! Didn't see new wheels on the cards tbh!

 

[Scott-o]

Theres fook all wheels that fit over the brakes so was always gonna have to get some brand new you know me, i like my wheels

Got them set at decent offsets too so wont need the 20mm spacers on the back either

 

[Alex 17]

I take it non of the bbs's would make it or the porka's ? Although porkas are done to death now to be fair!

Ah good stuff , I've been busy today putting mine back together got the lights tinted on the back and the deffuser sorted , trip up to rochdale tommorrow to get my roof covered!

 

[Scott-o]

Porkas would but not my cuppa, didnt want to mess on with spacers or adapters this time. Nearly got some more bbs but not enough clearance as expected.

Always wanted a set of compo mo's so thought why not

 

[Alex 17]

How big are those brakes jeesh!
Fair play dont go curb them you may well cry at the price

 

[Scott-o]

The calipers are 16cm wide and need 65mm clearance off the disk face, not many wheels fit the bill

Yeh im gonna be gutted if i kurb them!

I phoned up td and was told that no pro race 3's would fit over the brakes yet Pete. told me he got them to fit without spacers but cannot remember sizes.


I hate this waiting around Scott mine wont be here for ages haha

 

[Scott-o]

Al, i didnt pay as much as it says on their website, got 15% off the overall price

 

[Scott-o]

re circ valve

I was just reading your tread on your new cupra and wondered what the point of the re circ valve is???? Also im after some decent tyres for mine but havent a clue were to start!!!! Im up in catterick so not far any ideas????

 

[Scott-o]

The turbo spools and boosts the engine, then when you take you foot off the accelerator it closes the throttle body and all that boosted air hits it. Any excess pressure is then allowed to escape via the recirc valve and vented back into the inlet. Same as a dump valve but a dump valve lets the air escape to atmosphere rather than recirculating it back into the inlet.

With tyres ive got some yokohama paradas ready to go onto the new wheels, i got on well with them on my old white diesel fr.
