me and my mk3

[anthony--t]

I'll have a hunt in the tool box because I did buy a steel removal tool once upon a time. I also have the stock leads and a few sensors you can have if you want to come pick them all up some time.

Yes please! I was thinking about making a trip down to Camden GTI but if not would it be possible to bring stuff to GAD?
By the way the coilpack looked very clean and new, plenty of life left in it!

Thought I'd throw up some pics.

wheel preparation


Removed front guard liner. You could say there was a fair bit of dirt up there.


and even though I said i was going to keep it a surprise here's some pics.




and my favourite:


Finally these arrived in the mail today!


Hopefully test fit the fronts with the spacer before uni tomorrow. Fingers crossed they'll clear caliper.

I believe my issues are spark plug / ignition lead related so need to get new plugs and that tool.

(sorry if pics are huge and different sizes, I've been mucking around with settings on the camera)

Looking good man.
Where did u get the spacers if you don't mind me asking? Had a set of adapters similar to that setup

Cheers!
Got them from Dubstop Imports. They seem like they're pretty good quality although I've never had anything else to compare them with.

Fitted spacers. 3 piece bolts still foul the caliper starting to realise why I haven't seen this done before. Some caliper 'modifying' will be necessary I guess.

****. By how much do they hit?

Did you get 25mm?

[anthony--t]

The lug bolts can now go in so that's a plus but the wheel won't rotate because the outiside bolts get stuck on the caliper. Damn 3 piece good for nothing haha. It's because the simmons centers are universal in the 15" and 16" so the bolts on the inside are less than 15" in the diameter of the wheel and so collide with front brakes. So annoying.

Just wondering since your making the trip down to see hawky, want to drop by and let me borrow your guard roller ? Serious. haha. Looking good so far man !

Hey mate, not sure when / what's happening with that. Hayden has already got first dibs on the roller though. If your not in a rush I'm more than happy to help you out a little later?

Also general warning guard roller won't work if your slammed. Took it over to do a friends mx5 but the coils were wound down so low I couldn't get the roller in. You can always wind them up but just thought I'd throw the info out there.

[anthony--t]

Getting a set of steelies. Thinking about getting them widened. Anyone know how much and where from?

[HaydEn]

Another set!

There's neale wheels in Sydney. That's about all these days.

Yeah I swapped the mk4 beetle alloys I had for sale for a set of steelies with money on top. Kinda getting over trying to get the Simmons to fit...

Sweet! I'll check it out. Thanks.

Put the effort in and fit the simmons, you are so close.

I will. Hopefully getting tyres next week and then I just need to get them on.

Supercheap got the better of me. Bought oil, coolant, clay bar kit and ordered the spark plugs. $15 per spark plug. Wow. Now just gotta make the time to do it all.

Loving where this is headed. I look forward to seeing this at GAD!
