Mine was an awesome 1984 Opaline Metallic Greeen Austin Maestro with brown velour interior, but it had colour coded bumpers and when i saved enough money i lavished it with a pioneer pullout and. New 4" speakers, which of course were worth more than the car!!

Sorry maybe can across a bit brash there, no harm intended but was just curious as to how it ended up 3 times the price of a new one !

Is this bluetooth mate ?

Ive got the same predicament ! Porsche calipers arent the same red as my car (corrida red). Also refurbiing a set of wheels done in corrida red to match the car so need a colour that stands out against the wheels and body, was thinking bright green or Kawasaki green but my original calipers are green and fancy a change ! Mmm decisions decisions ! I think yellow on silver or black cars looks good j0hn. Anybody any suggestions for me ???

Yeah can see both your points there but my main concern was fit and forget, oe bushes will perish again if given alot of punishment.. Or so i thought. I had an advisory on my mot in december saying excessive play in offside rear wheel, which i forgot about over xmas. Decided to drive 300 mile in jan upto parents and the car was bad on motorway. On long sweeping righthand bends it was ok but overtaking and pulling back in or lefthand bends i could feel the back end twitching or skipping enough to start annoying me, before i bought some of the polybushes i got car up on a ramp and found excessive play in one bush so replaced both lower arms £30 or so each and now drives spot on again. Yeti_Man what polybushes did you use ?
-
Hi Yeti_Man: what camber settings are you running with the adjustable top mounts ? Nearly went for a set a few months ago but didnt have enough info on them to understand what to do with them !?

Forgot to say i also have whiteline rarb set on middle and whiteline anti lift kit as well as front wishbone polybush, THS full engine mounts and im just busy putting all rear polybushes in...its never ending ......"

Ive got B8s in but i bought as a kit with wrong springs for octy so had them a bit cheaper. I have H&R -50mm springs mated to B8s so a 35mm drop on Vrs and i must say when giving it beans on Welsh B roads it surprised me to say how well it handles corners under breaking or powering out the bends

Martyn where in Wales are you ?

Mate i posted.a link onto here for you but christ knows where its gone ! Im on my mobile using tapatalk ! Me and tech aint seeing eye to eye at the moment !

Its American mate is slightly different from quaife and peloquin in the fact that it basically splits the torque bias better and drives the opposite wheel when the other has no load or grip, its difficult for me to explain without writing for a while ! Type Wavetrac diff into google and it will bring up a few pages have a scroll through and you should find a section how it works differently to a peloquin or quaife. I think Garagemidnight do them in uk £1005 for diff and ARP crownbolts, then fitting on top. I started a thread on mk5golfgti forum last year asking about starting a groupbuy for an LSD and AlexVrs said he would organise one but as i now have a Wavetrac i havent looked to see if he is taking names yet
-
Yeah all depends on what you fancy and what price you can get it for i suppose ! Quaife are very good but i liked the idea of the Wavetrac better. Have a google or look at vids on youtube as i did, helped to make my mind up !
