Paul1982 0 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Right guys my project underway already woohooI just bought this :-)N 95 3dr Highline, with 90k: Link to post Share on other sites
Paul1982 0 Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Right as you can see it has RS4's on there already which are for sale lolI have Bought Some 18" ASA AR1's for her :-)what do u think?: Link to post Share on other sites
Paul1982 0 Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 The car is going into the body shop to get all scratches etc removed next week and the arches rolled so the 18's dont rub.She has a Remus Exhaust system on there at the mo - but thats coming off as i have a Raceland Manifold and full Stainless system (de-cat) with only 1 silencer. So yes its going to be very loud and bubbly hehe (This is the reason i bought the car lad - I fooking love the Engine note) Link to post Share on other sites
Paul1982 0 Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Plus i have MK4 Lights going on her but not sure what grill to put on yet as nothing has jumped out - i guess the Bonrath grill is the best so far. Link to post Share on other sites
sparkz 0 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Why are you going 18"s for mate? You are going to have a horrible ride plus imo 17"s are the best way to go for a nice ride along with a decent suspension setup. Link to post Share on other sites
Paul1982 0 Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Well the deal i got with the 18's was better than any other 17" that i liked. My Coilovers and Arches roll will sort my ride height but Your right about the hardness bit i dont mind it if i get to look good lol. Link to post Share on other sites
Earwig 89 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Handling will also suffer greatly with 18's.You will also find that they just don't look right. IMO you need 16's or 17'sLooks like a fairly clean base car so keep us updated as you go along ;-)Mark. Link to post Share on other sites
Jk* 0 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Looks smart, its crying out for a deep chin spoiler! Link to post Share on other sites
Paul1982 0 Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 I've been looking for one of these?? Where would i get it from JK? Link to post Share on other sites
Focker-out 0 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 18s on a MK3, your a brave man, they will kill the car!!The chinspoilers are still available new from VW, from early GTis and VR6s, dont be tempted by cheap versions as they break very easilt Link to post Share on other sites
Paul1982 0 Posted February 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Yeah that right on my old VR6 the front spoiler was the same depth all the way around - Yeah the hell did the highline change it as the new one looks poo lol;-) Thanks lads i'll be getting one of them!!

antera309 3 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 I have 18" R32 wheels on my mk3. I think if you choose the right wheel (OEM VAG, BBS etc) it looks OK, but 7.5" is the widest you can go without major arch mods and the ride is pretty harsh on those 205/35/18 tyres...These tyres are also more expensive than 205/40/17s and they wear quicker.

mike 6 Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 agreed 17s woud have been the safer/better choice plus you arent goin to be able to do much lowering on the coilovers, the horrible ride height has nothing to do with the gap i the arch just how high the car sits on 18s.take em back for 17s mate Link to post Share on other sites
petervr6 0 Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 every one has there own choice mate so if you like them thats what counts. Link to post Share on other sites
Paul1982 0 Posted February 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Lol well i took them back and picked up a set of SSW Mesh 17's :-) - They look a bit like the BBS Split rim anniversary alloys on the VR6. And yes i am alot happier.The car is going into the exhaust centre monday and in the bodyshop wednesday. Will be tinting the windows and painting the calipers sometime on the weekend and putting the mk4 lights on aswel.Going to be cleaning up my Throttle body and putting a Green cone filter on. Give it a full service with K1 10mm leads and NGK Platnum plugs etcThe car is a bit sluggish at the mo as i bet the oil is crappy and the injectors r grubby.HOPEFULLY she will be sounding sweet and running like a dream.For thoughs of you who have the supercharger conversion - what insurance company do you use and what sort of price are you paying????I'm 25 no points and 6 years protected no claims bonus... never claimed or anything. So hopefully i should get a reasonable quote :-s Link to post Share on other sites

Paul1982 0 Posted March 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Well i knew my car was a bit underpowered and i found out why. The Bl**dy CAT was in a terrible state and it must have been restricting her. but know the raceland manifold is on and a full stainless system (only one silencer) it sounds amazing.The car is in the body shop having a good going over at the mo but when i pick her up i'll take some photo's for you all and get you a few Sound clips as this is the main reason i got her :-) Link to post Share on other sites
