an unusually filthy nana

S3 brace now fitted.

Did a few other bits that it's been needing.

New FK rear shocks to replace rattly others.

Front brake sliders free'd up as they were noisy.

New power steering pump as the other was noisy as flip!

Refitted the splitter after it met some grass....

Got some fresh calipers to go on the rear with discs. Will do that next Saturday before Ultimate dubs and get the wheels off and polished and the car all bufty!

New rear calipers fitted as the old ones were a bit seized. 2 new rear wheel bearings as there was a bit of a drone. Car machine polished and buffed, polished and waxed for ultimate dubs. awesome day.

Rolling shot on the way to

2 fresh wheel hubs and bearings as old ones were a little noisy.

Younger fresher s3 rear calipers as mine were a bit sticky.

Now fitted car's much quieter and my rear brakes are much better! Brakes also painted black

Good work

ill be at Unphased tonight Babs, come say hello!

what noise was the hubs making?

just a loud droning noise, the bearing were pretty dry, cars nice and quiet now!

hi mate was good seeing you at Lymm services last weekend. Car looked good and certainly got me pepped up to sort mine out. Hopefully see you around at some shows this year.

hello mate, always good to meet new faces! i'll be at most shows this year so no douby bump into you again!

Hey Lee, good to meet you last night, car looks awesome

you too babs! ill fish the link out for the coilys out later

Cheers

Just a quick question, where did you get the hubs from? And price.

Thanks steve

TPS, £40 a side iirc

Are the ABS rings pre-fitted buying the hubs that way?. May have a rear hub bearing starting to show itself on mine, so would be interested to know.

Car looks really good bud, well done.

they are indeed!

right chaps...

Was fitting the R32 ARB a hard job? Any drilling required or are the bolts/holes ready in place?

Sorry to hear you're selling - looks a lovely motor, just bought mine too soon otherwise probably would've been up there to look at it

Also did the ARB's make a big difference?

Cheers, all the best with the sale

Fitting a R32 FARB is easy. No additional parts needed apart from getting the correct bushes for the ARB. As teh ARB is 23mm as apposed to the std VRS being 19mm so you will need 23mm bushes. Fts on car in exactly same way as VRS one. Improvement is very noticable but would not do this mod without adding a RARB else you will stiffen front end up too much for the rear to cope.

gave the nana a wash at the weekend, wheels off jobby. also undersealed the sills and arches (veen meaning to do this again)

currently refurbing some R32 wheels so i can get the Posches off and sold. Unsure what colour they're going just yet...we'll see...

Bowders, cheers for the response on that, couldn't have answered any better myself

any luck selling the car lee?

few time wasters over email, the usuals. First to see will buy the thing that's the silly thing. Just going to start taking some of the more desirable parts off to lower the price, brakes are up in classifieds and im refurbing some R32 wheels to get the Porkers off.

i know buddy, the car is great, i had the same problem selling mine, people just dont want modded cars, or they do, but they want to do it themselves.

I put mine back to stock in the end, and sold it for over 5k in parts and the car being sold as stock.

Modded i couldnt even get 3k!

I totally agree with this and is one of the reason why I never get rid of any standard parts unless they are knackerd!
