I'm back.....

[jayjay]

only to the top of the lines. ( silver line x ). And they're adjustable... not that i'd ever know what to adjust them to

[Jace]

Fk have koni shocks, interesting,... Lorenz? you may as well PM me with your catalog!

If you're going to write it all out can you PM it to me again please Lorenz?!

[dubbed_up_daz]

im running fk highsport silverlines on my mk1 golf and theyre really good,fairly low and not crashy unless you go polies as well but they should be swapped out for the FK konigsport silverlines which are the ones with the koni inserts. If you ARE going Fk id definately recomend the silverline high sports as a medium budget coil,mines have been on for three years now and are still a 'wipe down' and adjust

[Jarred]

Cheers for the input. I havn't really considered FKs before, but I might need to if they've got koni's in them (and are adjustable as well)

[dubbed_up_daz]

its only the konigsports that have koni inserts hence the name afaik and yes theyre adjustable,id have to pull the box out to see if theyre top adjustable or off the car adjustable only but the highsport silverlines im running just now are great,probably a better bet also if you want to run it mega slammed as konigs on a decked car are pointless not due to detrimental handling but if you bottom them out you ruin the valving that makes them adjustable. Im restricted to 15s through my 285mm brakes so im never going to be really low anyway but I still run fairly low if im on the winter skinnies and they still get you round a corner pretty decent

Just thought I'd update this, as of today, the cabby is officially registered in my name, all roadworthy etc.

Also got my tax back, so I'm start looking more seriously into various suspension options.

Need to save up for a minor service, and tune & create a list of things to do!

Drives quite nicely though, overall I'm pretty impressed with it, a few niggling things that need to be fix though.. (hence the list of things to do)

Things to do: (no particular order)
-Service.
-Fix rattles.
-Get replacement/repair front seats.
-Touch up/repaint clipper kit.
-Fix electrical gremlins.
-Check brake system for proper function (improve pedal feel!)
-Replace roof.
-Coils & wheels?
-Extractors & exhaust upgrade?
-Detail.
-Brake bleed nipple dust caps. (get some)
-Figure out some sort of sound system (repair/replace)
-Replace Carpet

That's all I can think of.. (for now atleast!)

[Jace]

Congratulations!

nice one Jarred,
you can get carpet sets from uk, about 120 pounds
forget coilovers, get a tidy spring and shock set (unless you want it just sat on its a$$)

For the cost of getting some decent new springs and shocks (around $1200), you might aswell get some coils!

Nice work getting it all sorted Jarred, hope to see this on its tits soon

[Peter Jones]

Cool! Congratulations!

[GeorgeMK1]

Wooooo cool bananas dude!

[DubSteve]

About time mate, now hurry up and get some pics up ASAP!

[Golf Loon]

Just saw this thread. Nice pickup Jrad.
I can help with the seat repair for that drivers seat. Send me the seat or the fabric and I can hook you up with the replacement panels.
Nice Cabriolet, hows the hairdressing going??

[mikinoz]

I'de try and find the same centre caps and wack a set of mk3 steelies on there. Close enough.

If you want to consider a set of corrado steels and centres, you can still buy these new.

[Jarred]

haha cheers guys.

will probably hit you up Matt, I'm thinking I might get some mk 2 GTI seats though, with height adjust. the standard ones are soo fat and you sit so high up, my head occasionally rubs the roof!

Charging the batteries up now for ya stavros.
