lol you summed it up alright, falcadore mates of mine ask me if they make my car for men.. as long a they think there cool. Too bad the tossers don't know what their missing.

They have a point. You rarely see a female taxi driver.

How offensive...i was a VE SS owner and member on LS1 Forum...i dont have a wang issue though

ummm lets have a look at that compensating MOD list..

They'd probably still hate it if it was white or grey or silver or black. (Haven't had an RB comment for a few pages now)

Can't argue with a fact like that

I was actually getting t-shirts made up, but the first batch didn't come out right. The Rising Blue ones seem to fit better than the Tornado Red ones. I think they need to use a lightweight cotton but I have to check with Ray first.

ha ha... even if the lightweight cotton costs more than budget I am sure Ray will pay the extra out of his own pocket Dave

At least you would know that if he changes his mind you'll get to keep the deposit!

Looks like some lucky bugger has scored Ray's rescinded Blue Golf R almost fully optioned. Well done. Dealer thought it would be a bugger to off-load not having a sunroof. Ray is sitting tight for another 12 mths. See what the Mark 7 GTI has to offer in the near future.

Here's a short review in respect to swapping out OE springs for stiffer aftermarket lowering springs whilst retaining OE dampers in the first instance; then adding Koni Sport dampers to the strut type springs; and finally, a set of ST coilovers (the poor cousin of the KW V1 only tuned for the North American market):

New Suspension Review ST Coilovers VS. H&R Sport + Koni Yellows VS. H&R Sport + OEM - BMW 1 Series Coupe Forum / 1 Series Convertible Forum (1M / tii / 135i / 128i / Coupe / Cabrio / Hatchback) (BMW E82 E88 128i 130i 135i)

Best to just spend the extra dough on the more expensive coilover kit - saves doing things twice or thrice.

On another note - new adjusters for the MK5 Golf for KW coilovers:

Product news - KW automotive GmbH

The new type of adjusters should bring the KW coilover closer to the Bilstein PSS10 for ease of adjustment.

Cheers.
