off topic, but how much would you sell the 18's for?
£100, theyre on avon zz3s. im in southend essex but often end up in cheshire so could meet anywhere in between
i think revised oil feeds are braided hoses... if so, ive got em
before i consider MRC etc ill get the right vagcom cable for it and see whats going on. i think they charge £60 for that and then it gets astronomical after that
Seriously, I've waited all day for you to post here. Is that the best you can come up with?
tbh i was expecting worse
these cars have liability written all over them, but im a pretty handy with a spanner set. this one was cheap, so worst case, ive got money left out of the original budget to sort stuff out. its a genuine low miler so suspension wise it still feels pretty good. unless there is a melt down, i dont see much needing to be spent. the front brakes for example are all only a few weeks old

Funny, but my hatred for westwood is deep routed!
Depends whats been changed in the past but i'd get the full front kit:

Clearly before you do this jack the front of the car up and get the crowbar on the go, see whats slack.
But yea give us a shout at some point and i'll come have a look plus show you some of the better roads
Matt got lucky... or unlucky i suppose that's yet to be decided

We should put bets on for when it goes pop!
fluke, its less than pre face lift 1998 cars, and its had the remap (£700+ worth)
and i got the refurbed wheels too. no harm in driving a bargain

spot on with the lucky/unlucky thing. time will tell. probably on the m1, in the dark, in the rain, when the battery on my mobile is dead
what i was meaning to ask was the actual springs/dampers themselves. would you know whats worth getting for the b5 platform? as for bushes, ill probably just replace the whole lot
It goes through a tunnel?

KW stuff gets good reviews but its not cheap, i'm not sure on which rear swaybar yours has but its well worth fitting a neuspeed rear bar, other than that you can pollybush most of the front control arms but its a royal pain removing the bushings so i wouldn't bother with that.
I ended up with some Jamex coilovers, not the most amazing coilovers in the world but the build quality is acceptable and the ride quality is actually better than my mates Leon FR with stock suspension and tyres.
