Okay as some of you know and don't know, my car is getting a little overhaul tomorrow. As a result it will need a through road test.

200 miles round Wales should do it, it might also be the same route for the big meet in September, so who's up for it on Saturday?

9:00 for 9:30 Owestry Little chef kick off.

I'd love to but my exhaust will fall off. :(

Now if you had said Colchester, and not Wales...

Colin, Please mail me with your findings if you have time, also any tips re fitting & thoughts on ride heights. Assuming the 4th leg for mine arrives shortly mine is booked in on the first but not with a VAG dealer so any tips would help, I would also like to go straight for the RS height.

Also I assume you will be having it re-tracked.

Stuart,

Yep, same situation, went to 3rd party as figured they have more experince of "non manf" parts, oh and 150 quid less. Once I get the height (RS) then I'll pop it on there 4wheel aligner kit. The differences in soft and hard around that I can live with. Wishbone swaping is the single biggest thought. Must remember to charge camera up later...and if I was really sad I could pop a bullet cam in there and video the front shock for it's first run...need my drugs again brb.

Disco & TaviaRS seem to think Wishbones can stay as per original fit.

Once mine is running & I have the new wheels I hope to take it to Powerstation for a "Geometry Tweak" They did wonders with the Scoob, completely eliminated the understeer which is a traditional scoob flaw. It just went where you pointed it.

Stick the Camera in the car to record the Smiles as you corner (I Hope !!)

Stuart,

Indeed from the notes in German and other sources, the wishbone swap is only nessecary for >40 mm drops, which is a lot...but a tad annoying if niping out on track...we'll see how it looks and feels...can't go to low, I ain't got and baseball caps...I for sure will update you though.
