then thursday i got some ronal wheels off a 225 audi TT nice 17s with 3 descent tyres n 1 scrap so hAd 2 avon zv5 fitted 225 45 17.
today its had a bit of a clean, havin just bought the megs 3 stage kit. st1 paint cleaner is quite good doesnt feel that abrasive but did remove the scratches round door handles etc
stg 2 the polish, dont really see what this actually did
st3 the wax went on nice and now the car feels quite silkey!! but ideally needs claying.

Heres a pic just so you can see what it will look like lowered!!

 

[jase20vt]

yes mate, iv still got your pic on my computer. kept changin my mind between rs4 wheels, r32's or the TT jobbys , these came up for £100 on pistonheads not far from me got them for £90, couple of tiny scuffs but nothing im worried about, might get them refurbed at a later date but darker. whats the ride like dropped 50mm is it crashy at all? im gettin on abit now so dont want my filling to drop out lol

 

[smithygcupra]

Speed bumps are a bit of a challenge..... some roads are unbearable lol ..... well it aint that bad really... just depends on what the roads are like where you are....the ride quality is what you would expect from a drop like this, but it looks sweet and handles sooo much better than standard....

[jase20vt]

yes mate, 207 bhp n 233 lb/ft
cpl off slight issues the induction needs shielding,( 1/2 way through it at work but not had time to sort) and i need a yellow spring in my 007p
nick mentioned doin a n249 bypass, have you tried it??
im goin to make a 3" down pipe for it as i now have a sample and should be making a jig for others

 

[jase20vt]

iv fitted a yellow spring, made a shield for the 57i kit and fitted a new silicon breather as the rubber 1 was all mushy

not very good pic was a bit dark

 

[smithygcupra]

looking good mate... whats next on the list?? i want a remap and a cat back exhaust for mine but my wheels really need refurbing so may have them done first.
