    Yes! keep those caps dude!

    You coming up for the nats?

    • How did the ST racing coils settle in?

      It is slowly getting back to the VWW of old with all of the MK1 threads. Love it.

        I need the right tyres to suit the rims. Stretch looks silly on Zender turbos.

        Yes that's about the price I found too.

          Fantastically. They actually feel like performance coilovers, pretty much what I remember Tim's KW V3's felt like. Solid, because the car's light it can be a bit bouncy (most of the roads here are junk). As I've put it to others, my old ass grandma can now ride in the car and still be able to walk afterwards (same goes for me I suppose!)

          And now I can have it as low as I need it to be. The Old Skool Vulcan Werks products are awesome.

            So you're running drop plates and strut top extenders, then?

              Yessir. As it sits, it's about as high as I can get it without removing those parts.

              When I do the next service I'll redo the rear drums and I might switch it from the 3" drop position to 2" position and see how it goes.

                    Heaps. I wound the collar up until it was too tight for me to be ****ed turning it anymore and the helper springs totally compressed.

                    Shorty sump, frame notches and smaller tires and I should be able to lay out

                        We'll see. I'll PM you when I'm ready-ish.

                              • That's one bad ass Mk1, loving the rims and the drop. So simple but jaw dropping every time!
