  1. cheers guys, had a quick look at those...then i remembered my old place of work, www.Larkspeed.com £45.10 for the rear beam bushes, that seems pretty good?
  2. Thinking of ordering myself some powerflex bushes, anybody have any recommendations of where to buy or if anyone has any deals on?
  3. I was thinking of upgrading the bushes anyway, guess it may be sooner now, Will take it to a local garage for them to have a look then i think:)
  4. At the moment have booked the time off work for these shows - Dub aid plymouth volksfest bristol volksfest dubs at the castle national meet Cornwall vw jamboree May have to see if i can sqeeze any more in as time gets on
  5. so am i best getting the bushes checked first? and maybe a full alignment check?
  6. yeh they are pretty greasy and muddy down here but something just doesnt feel right in the past couple of week, have to try get them checked out
  7. I was thinking that as i have been reading a few threads on here discussing the powerflex replacements, could that still make the front end feel light tho on the twisty stuff? or could it be the top mounts aswell?
  8. Just over the past couple of weeks i have experienced the car handling very strange at times, I accept the tyres are only budgets at the moment which on the front are almost down to the wear markers and the rears are almost as new, The car just seems to follow every camber and lump in the road bearing in mind my daily commute is on twisty b roads and it feels as if its driving on ice, Its also pushing on in the corners alot more than before and the front end feels very light when cornering at speed, could this be a mixture of the tyres and maybe some bushes have given up too maybe? any h
  9. Been after one of these battery boxes for a while now as i think they look much neater than the jackets, This one was from a mk4 r32 so got to work today adapting it to fit... Its taking longer than i thought but got most of it trimmed so still use the existing mk3 battery tray and just need a longer 13mm bolt for the battery clamp and should be job done....will post pics when its completed, Also as you can see in the pic below i have had the front arch off to see how it looks without it....still unsure to be honest, need to source some cl side strips or painted highline versions. As for
  10. is it best to stick with powerflex or is there an alternative?
  11. Thinking of ordering one of these, Has anyone got any experience of them? Seem quite good for the money, I guess its just a straight swap for the old thermostat too?
  12. yes i may try just the arches first and leave the textured bumpers and see how i get on, As for the sump guard i need to drop in my template and they can quote me then, But the quality of work is very good and once mine is done he can do many more with my pattern to work against so will let you know on prices and pics as soon as i get them
  13. Think i have now decided to de-arch the car and go for the highline bumpers with colour coded tops, keep looking at both cars with and without arches and im now swaying towards removing them, What do you guys think? My new set of ngk plugs turned up today..bargain of the year, Also got a local firm that make alloy fuel tanks, and other fabrications to sort me out with a sump guard so will post some pics once its started and do a trial fit, Got some other parts on the way which will also make this a little different, more on that later
  14. will have to have a go at swapping these, cheers for the info, so are the fuel hoses pressurised or when the ignition is off is there minimal leakage?
  15. still some pretty good deals around, prob will just get the 2 x 5ltr for now,
  16. There doing £54.88 delivered for 4 x 5 ltrs http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-AUDI-VAG-Quantum-Synta-10w-40-Engine-Oil-5-Ltr-A3-B4-/200560978115?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2eb25da8c3#ht_1037wt_1139
