  1. I've got the H&R -35mm springs, handling is hugely improved but hardly sacrificed any of the comfort, I'd highly recommend them
  2. It's the second number, axle weight is 1100 on mine, it's a petrol but if anything yours will be heavier, if you open the passenger front door the plate is at the bottom on the pillar between the front and rear door
  3. I've still got the box down in my dads garage I'll check later and let you know
  4. I had a similar problem with my mk2 vrs which had similar miles to you, I just fitted a set of the -35mm H&R last month, and they're fantastic hasn't dropped the car too much but has cured the soft rear end while retaining most of the comfort, I'm in my late(ish) 30's with a family and this is our main car and there's been no complaints, hope this helps you Lee
  5. I used poorboys black hole glaze and natty wax on on my last 2 cars, with awesome results, would highly recommend them
  6. You should be able to get your mapper to map the car to run the atmospheric instead of the re-circ and it'll not over-fuel
  7. The subaru turbo engine, wrx and sti, are also designed to run re-circ, fitting a dump valve in place of the re-circ valves can cause nasty fueling issues, as the ECU is still fueling the the car for the air that should be there but isn't, I assume the vag engine will be the same

    Progrip in larbert, he's just off the motorway, he's awesome, and only about £70
  9. I used a mk5 golf facia adaptor from halfords to fit a single din head unit to my mk2 vrs, and got the vag wiring adaptor from there also
  10. I'm getting married next year and we're wanting to move to a bigger house, hence the change to a octavia vrs, I'll have another 1 at some point though
  11. Nice, I'm a subaru man too, I had a classic and a bug-eye sti, I'm also suffering withdrawal after 2 and a half months
  12. Cheers guys, I'm a recent convert to poorboys, really pleased with the results, just a pity they don't stay looking like that long
  13. Meguirs clay bar, autoglym super resin polish, poorboys black hole glaze then 2 coats of poorboys natty wax for dark cars, happy with the results
  14. Not been on here long so thought I'd share the family fleet with you's after a day spend yesterday waxing, my 55 plate vrs and her 02 plate V5 golf
