Oh I see,well may catch you at the next meet then

And hope you have better look with your springs this time around.

Refitted the FK springs today so we'll have to see how long these last. Gutted to find I'll need spacers to go really low as the adjusting platforms rub on the tyre so could only drop the front 5mm more. Have to see how she rides for now kind of wishing I'd gone with springs and shocks at least there'd be less temptation to mess with it lol.

So far so good with the FK rear springs had all 3 kids in the back no noises so all good. Just need some spacers to drop the front a bit further. Funds a bit tight at the mo so will have to wait a while.

Ambient lighting all done all four door pockets and under dash. Just 3 SMDs per light nice and bright look blue in the pics, but are actually purple/white.

Any way just another twist on the puddle lights.

Looking good dude

Cheers mate there's a corrado in this months performance VW that you might like. Only had a quick look in asda today while the missus was shopping but sure it was a time attack type car had wide arches, rear diffuser, canards might be worth a look for some ideas.

Cheers chief I'll take a look next time I'm in the shops and the problem for me is I have the ideas but no funds to buy what I want and not a lot of spare time to work on it lol

I can sympathise bud I've been off for 2 weeks and spent a fortune on the car. Only today I find a set of bbs rs reps in the for sale section. Gutted, 3 weeks ago I'd of had them.

New gauges fitted today and standard shocks and springs arrived no more crawling over speed humps and driving like I'm pi$$ed to avoid potholes.

Swapped the FK coilys for apex springs and standard shocks. Ride quality is way better.

Before

After

Bit low at the arse end but to be expected. Worth the sacrifice for better ride quality.

Looks really well does that mate. Like the look of the ride height with the apex springs on.

Cheers mate the FKs looked cool but this is a better compromise for every day driving.

The front has come down slightly over the last few days so looks almost level. So much happier now.

RARB is the next step. Then new brakes all round.

Well spent all day with a rug doctor........

Old vRS seats now mint and new audi A3 sport seats cleaned an fitted. Only pick I've got so far as I had to take the rug doctor back tonight as I'm at work tomorrow.

Will post some more when I get chance. Have noticed these are way more supportive than the old seats feel like recaros. Even managed to wire up the electric lumbar adjust.

So productive day just need an A3 airbag to fit the wheel as the octy one is slightly the wrong shape.

You seem like a bit of an expert with suspension etc, don't suppose you fancy fitting my lowering springs?!

Not sure I can bring myself to give AT 216 quid for the pleasure!

Wouldn't say expert bud but I have swapped mine a few times lol. Pm me and I'll see if I've got a free day to do them.

Well been a busy day fitted my towbar and twin electrics been awhile since I've done towbar electrics took all afternoon.

Give it a clean yesterday so couple more pics.

Just need a caravan now lol.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Decided on a trailer tent instead of a caravan as I didn't want to pay for storage. Here's the octy fully loaded up last weekend.

That was 5 people and full camping gear drove great and got 350 miles to a full tank of vpower mostly motorway but A 69 to Hexham and local roads around the race course where pretty steep, well pleased with the mpg and clutch was fine with the hills and towing. [emoji1]

When funds allow I'll be removing the side rubbing strips, colour coding the bumper strips and painting the wheels green. [emoji6]

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looking good. Get the strips off nice easy free mod and they look a lot better

Been wanting to do them for ages since I saw bowders how to guide. Just need to buy a caramel wheel to remove the stick afterwards, and some green paint for the wheels.

Thinking a nice bright Kawasaki green.

Well not much going on at the mo time and funds are in short supply.

Changed the fuel filter yesterday which was a easier job than anticipated.

Trailer tent..the stuff my dreams are made of lol.

Get the rub strips off it looks much much better
