Dark hero I was looking at the pics of your wee meet after prept, and comparing the 2 cars..............................................................................

Is yours a fabia 1 scout??????? Theres a good bit of clearance under that car eh???? Lifted it for winter???

It's lowered 25mm believe it or not! No coilovers for me though. Kw fixed suspension :-)

its all very go in the house tonight.. got these drying..

one of them went a bit funny (prob because it cold out) so i had to rub it right back..

im flatting between each thin coat. Long.com but i dont want them to look poop!

waiting for my pal to drop some ramps round so i can do all this lot.

I mite even fit the 3" down pipe and de cat! we will see!

Can someone please confirm the size if the allen key needed to get the sump bolts off? like 1 of these

I know you were buddy :-) The fabias are really really high as standard though! Could easily drop her by another 20-25mm

Your mirrors are starting to look superb Gee, won't be long til it's all put back together

hoping i can get the mostly painted tonight, i dropped one of the mirror bolts down the door card, so i mite as well take them off and fit my uprated speakers i have had for over a year!! lol

mite do something funky with some LEDS as well if i can be arsed!

Now i do alot to my car, and i mean alot. But the thought of taking door cards off to upgrade this and that and led's..............it makes me shudder, i need time off working on the car. I suppose this sorts the men from the boys huh gee?

And my bluddy splitter was shovelling snow all day, considering getting a 4x4 like dark hero

Dont suppose anyone can confirm the allen key size needed for the sump can they?

ill see if i can get the info on etka mate, its too cold out for folk

Engine code please?

AYE YOU QUE

or AUQ if your normal x x

5 mins

all my research says 5mm ball head

for bolts N 907 356 03

Edited 3 December, 201213 yr by Lofty79

Im pretty sure its 5mm. Althought I just used a small 10mm socket and long extension. U can get to them if u turn the engine on the crank n line up the groove on the flywheel.

ok cool.. strange why Bowders says otherwise. ill go for the 5mm bit then.. Thanks Lofty!

recommends a long shaft for the gearbox mounts too, so long shaft 5mm ball head as mentioned in my previous post

ok cool.. strange why Bowders says otherwise. ill go for the 5mm bit then.. Thanks Lofty!

Im only relying on etka and searching manually for the bolts etc so im pretty sure but havent put tool to bolt so...............

your welcome anyway

i gone for a long 5mm ball end jobbie one off the bay. hopfully ill have it all by friday as i got the day off to get me brother from Prison! lol

cool, that should be you fella. Any more etka quieries just pm or whatever mate

what's this ETKA witchcraft then?

mirrors are getting there. still getting a little pickling on one, i think ill have to live with it.

what ya thinks..

this was the mirror a couple hours ago..

and now

heres the other side getting there too.. this ones a few coats behind the other.

Etka is a software resource that has diagrams etc and you can get right down to any part fitted to a vag car, even the nuts bolts and washers. and gives you all the part numbers for ordering them too, cuts out trying to explain what you want from the clueless floor staff, ensures you get exactly what you need

Keep it in mind Mr hero, I'm only a pm away if you need any numbers etc

Coming along nicely.

What happened to your broken tap video??

i hid it as i could not edit out my number plate. Did you like it? lol

ill pm it you

Your mirrors are looking gooooood! Glossy black rocks!
