BAD update

argggg!
just went GSF to get top mounts for my new coilies
WHEN
i heard a rotational knocking sound...now i thought as i had wheel adaptors it might be them...

so took front passenger wheel off to look further, it was tight as a whistle!

so i put the spare on to investigate, sound got worse!

i wasn't far from home so took it home...had a ganders....the brake pad fell out the bloody caliper? WTF?????

i ain't got time atm, so cars sitting at home, too much uni work :( hopefully sorted on weekend!

so now i gotta sort the pads out, god damnit!

so coilies on hold now until the pads are sorted! :(

Noticed your sig then had to quickly come over to look at your wheels. Good choice man ;)

I'd stick 30mm's on the back, not 25s mate. Also lows are needed. When you getting that done?

Edit: Bad news about the pads dude! Thats not cool.

Porsche wheels unite :lol:

Interesting on the 4 30mm's... I'm after some 30mm. How much is he after? I want to replace the 20mm I have on the back you see.

I know what you mean about uni mate! This time of year is always a right pain, you shouldn;t even be on here :whistle:

he wants £130 for a set of 4 (don't come with bolts and are zinc covered, so weather proof, doesn't have bolts, but i do anyway :)) a guy at cov meet, can give you his number if your interested, but doesn't really want to split sets, which is fair enough

but i only need/can afford 2x30mm anyway

yeah mate, final year is horrible lol, last coursework in on fri, then i got exams, so i can do stuff to my car as i don't have too much to revise :D

I'd say £130 is a little steep? Hmmm let me consult the bank :rolleyes:

Just think though... No more comfort of uni, big bad world! Good luck man, hope it all goes well.

not really, as H&R's are £250
and FK's £90 each (so £180)
and these are great, if only he sold pairs :(

thanks bro! i need all the luck i can get lol
you in 2nd year? i don't normally like mk4's, but yours is lush, i think it's becuase most mk4's are standard height/massive wheels, yours is spot on :)

hi mate, no problem go ahead, keep butting in :D

well proper "scene" is on it's ass, but i want some practicality, and they want super wide wheels etc

personally i would go for a compromise :)

as for wheels look at what you like, get yourself on ed38 loads on there, i love RM's so i went for them (shame they are gone) and i also like D90's, so went for them

find what you like, then work out if you can get adapters or straight fit

then drop it to the height you want, i will post pics up tomorrow to show the height i kept mine at :)

the RM's are sold and gone mate

you got 200bhp from an 8v? get a thread up mate :D
