ill tell you now u wont sell em because in the back of your mind you cant wait to see them on your own car. I tried to sell the volks like 3 times despite the fact that noone wanted them i never really wanted to get rid of them

Do you still want to sell them

yeeeees, what r these volks u speak of . . .

[bboyskidz]

Lol..it's a bit different for me steve, it's my only means of transport so patience wears thin every time something else farks up (including this time because i need to replace tyres and a buckled wheel)..i'm just sick of it happening is all.

Anyways this shouldn't be a sob story about me, that's heaps gay. This is about the car lol. I'll let you all know what happens if anything happens soon.

noo mickey! noo! you can't give up!

i've thought about giving up many a time - it always seems to be in these 3 months leading up to christmas. rego, insurance, maintenance; everything adds up. I know what you mean. but it's christmas! everyone is broke! lol!

keep the wheels. save your money and get some spacers. with the car as low as it is, they will look friggan epic on there.

when you think about it, what is a little more time anyway? can you drive it like it is? if so, patience will pay off.

I've been driving around with a half finished car-pc because i can't afford to buy the PSU for it. It isn't really that expensive but other things like timing belts pop up and cause problems. welcome to the world of the mk3.

Aye I asked first

[tassie_euro_mk1]

yea hang in there Mickey.

when my timing chain shat itself i had enough. i was looking around for bora's and audi a4's lol. i couldnt deal with the crap that kept on going wrong with the vr. but i stuck by it and just think...the more you fix the better and less work will be needed in the future lol...im glad i kept the vr because in the end its a fun little car

hope u get back up buddy

cheers

Hahaha oh man...too many words of encouragement on here to even have a choice

I'm going to measure up what I need today if I can be bothered jacking up the car (that is stupidly hard with my height lol) so I'll see what size spacers I need

[Mrk_Mickey]

Alright so I measured up the wheels...as far as I can see they'll need around 10-15mm spacers. I can't measure that accurately, but that's what I got.

It's so unfair...they look so good on the back already (had to replace bald tyres today..)


WHY couldn't VW have just used 288mm brakes in all VR's so the caliper didn't stick out two suburbs wide?!
