octy 4x4 estate feeler ( i really need diesel )
boomsly replied to missingmyvrs's topic in Cars For Sale
are the good bits still up for offer? i have a few things id be after and standard 4x4 stuff to replace them also so the car will still be sell-able -
my 330's fit under a 17" spyder with a small spacer to clear the calliper and spoke
-
it may be simple but i dont see the logic in going that route for essentially expensive discs,when you can have the full monty for basically the same price, each to there own fitting a set of brembos is pretty simple and a garage wouldnt take long to fit them if you cant do it yourselves
-
with that kit you are using the standard callipers, for about the same money you can go 4 pots

you have a pm

Wasn't this someone on here?
boomsly replied to matt_theforce's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
hang on a minute im not even 25 with a 4x4 and not a grey hair in sight ! -
i dont as i havent fitted them yet( still in the parts pile ) oet or snow muncher may be able to provide a picture as they have done this swap.
-
ah i see, silly me the car well, i bought a gt30 and a jabba manifold for it, now things are on hold again, i have a house to "do up" but the car is now slowly going further down the priority list, but it will get done i have a a nice collection of parts for it now with even more to get :wonder:
-
from what i can gather you dont have to change the hubs, snowmuncher has the wishbones and not the hubs and used a washer to act as a spreader for the ball joint bolt. due to me and him both being 4x4 if we changed hubs we loose ESP so not really an option hence the spreader
