"B3ST" passat wagon

[DubSteve]

Just reading Doms post my nipples are now erected and hard

[Jace]

Got this week off to have the kit installed by Sunday?
I'd offer to come help you, but I'm 100% sure you have enough help and know what you're doing a hell of a lot more than I do.

Good luck with it. The result will be amazing, I'm sure.

thanks guys, ill get pics up soon but first...

so i open the boxes right? firstly ive only received the front struts only, im sure they rears will come soon......

ok so i was still a little bit chilled after that, untill i opened up all the air management stuff, turns out i paid an extra couple hundred U.S.D to have 1/4" airline and fittings instead of the 1/2" setup i actually paid for!! and to give you an idea on what im talking about, 1/4" is possibly the slowest airline setup you can have! then theirs 3/8" which is what im using for the "air up" system and the 1/2" line which is the biggest line you can go, and what i wanted for my "air dump" system

not too happy ATM, just been walking around the stuff i got thinking about what im gonna do now............

stupid thing is, it wasnt andrew@ openroad tuning's fault although he should have checked everything before it got sent out it was the management system suppliers who stuffed up, but unfortunately not much i can do until the 1/2" system lands in the country! GRRRR

can you get them to rebate you the cash and just get the fittings and lines from a shop here?

[schoona]

Neverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

[WABIT]

i could do that, but im working something out with andrew he might have a solution to the problem, it could only be all i need now is 1/2" air line instead of replacing all the valves ect.... in my management invoice it says ive got 4 3/8" valves and 4 1/2 vlaves, but i have 3/8 and 1/4 air line, it might be as easy as getting 1/2 air line

The air line is pretty cheap at places like Pirtek or the Hose Doctor.

If you've got the 1/2" valves you should just be able to grab the hose and any additional fittings locally. You might even go up a size in the hose. There's some metric sizes in between the imperial sizes.

oh thats bad. hard to get good staff.

[WABIT]

lol turns out i have everything there, had a good chat with andrew just now and he layed out everything, had preen and myself scratching our heads untill 30min ago when we worked everything out! i picked the kit up at 2pm today!

dont know if i can get the bags in in-time for SEDF though.... only thing left are the rear struts to arrive, i should find out how far they are overnight...... theres ALOT of work involved to get these badboys in and working! what a f*cking weird day, im ready to go to sleep and have a looooong sleep in just to forget about today ill get pics up tomorrow

ill bring sikaflex and gaffa tape

[static1800]

Don't forget cable ties, can't install new suspension without it.

Don't forget cable ties, can't install new suspension without it.

very very true, my apologies for forgetting such an important tool(s).

i may also bring some gasket glue, it helps with the gaffa tape for any hose leaks. guaranteed to work.

under 3 and a half months Dom, you better have $$ saved lol
