    new wheels

    T0NYVR6 replied to b19drg's topic in General Chat

    I could think of better things to do with 13k other than wheels.

    Good luck mate but I fear you are 90% going to loose your licence. My boss did more or less the same thing, it was his first offence and he owns a business so pleaded he needed the car for work. They told him normally it would be a six month ban but as he owned a business they banned him for 2 weeks and made him pay a whopping fine.

    No sorry fella I wasnt being sarcastic what I meant was 'you really ground down your calipers. How much did you have to take off.
  7. T0NYVR6
    Noooo, really

    hhhmmmmm angle grinder, now theres a thought. Only problem is the wheels are like brand new, I think I will wait and see what happens.

    snapped spring

    yes quite badly as well without any spacers on, we tried a 3mm spacer first and it was still catching but the 9.5mm gives plenty of clearance but I have a feeling i'm going to have to change to stretched tyres on the front as well as the rears.

    posi - got new Borbet A alloys 5 x 100 Negi - there the wrong ET so need longer bolts for the spacer I've had to fit.
  12. T0NYVR6
    Well I bought them and the backs are on but the fronts are the wrong ET so I'm having to fit a 9.5mm spacer which means I need longer bolts:-( Just ordered a set of 35mm bolts from fleabay so should be sorted in a couple of days!

    Did you try changing the MAF or at least cleaning it?
  14. T0NYVR6
    Theres a soundclip of it on here somewhere when its bad. I think you can always here a little bit of noise from the chains but when its bad youll know!

    We use ink cleaner for glue and residue for stickers but I dont know what affect that will have on the laquer as our machines are straight paint without laquer. Theres also tar remover by autoglym I think that stuffs pritty good I used it on some paint that rubbed off onto the bumper of the car when I had a blond moment and it came straight out.

    Also check the last time the front wheel bearings were done!

    I kept my car stock for a year and a half buddy and loved every second of it, yes the servicing costs are a little more than your standard 4 pot motor but the extra big smile on your face when you put your boot down is well worth it. The main bit of advice I'll give yah is to make sure its all been serviced and looked after as mine had a gap between servicing of about 20k and I'm paying for it now. Everything that i'm having to do to the car is basically down to a lack of serving and would have not been a problem if the car had been looked after.

    Brilliant, I'm hoping to pick them up this weekend
  19. T0NYVR6
    Is that you by any chance?
  20. T0NYVR6
    I've found some Borbet 'A' Alloys in 5 x 100 fitment, there 7.5j front and 9j rear. will I need anything else to doing to my car to make them fit or will they go straight on?
  21. T0NYVR6
    Yeah I know about the ABS fault and have just spent the penny's to sort that out but I just need to get the indicator working again now and as i'm not shy of soldering stuff up I thought I'd get a bulb and solder it in if I could find out what spec it was.
  22. T0NYVR6
    Anyone know what spec the bulb is on the ABS light? Just had the cover off mine to see why it wasn't working and some numpty's smashed it so it doesn't stay on
  23. T0NYVR6
    I use Magnetec 10W40, My cars done 136k
  24. T0NYVR6
    I wouldnt class it as tidy yet mate but its getting there, bit by bit!
  25. T0NYVR6
    Also forgot to mention i've rebuilt the rear brakes with disks, pads, abs rings abs sensor, osr caliper carrier and rear wheel bearings and hand brake cable. That wasnt a cheap job I can tell yah! Damn you VW.
