Vwthunders build thread (finally)

would it have axle tramped before or gripped? I went from stock torn LCA's to anti lift superpros and noticed that it stopped axle tramping and would spin the wheel cleanly. I liked that because you could use a lot more revs off the line without tramping being a problem and then get straight into second. Never really dawned on me at the time that no offset bushes might have caused it to grip better but thats whats been playing on my mind lately. Let us know what you think after a bit more driving.

I know the rear anti lift bushes are making a huge difference, i cant really comment on the front bushes, can anyone else?

I was stopped on a slight driveway and trying to take off i was spinning one wheel sitting on the spot which was strange.
Have not had a good drive yet, will take it out tomorrow and take traction off and try to do a few launches

wonder if your improved feel is coming from the different geometry with the anti-lift bushes in there, or if its due to both front and rear bushes now being a stiff compound. Noticing any dive or lift characteristics being different now? I did front and rear (anti-lift) LCA bushes and have always wondered how it'd compare with the zero offset/standard superpro's.

Turd job hey! I started mine in the driveway and then a 40 knot southerly complete with horizontal rain started. I was committed as I needed the car the next day so needless to say it was a freezing, drenched, miserable mechanical experience.
So can you feel a real world handling difference between the zero offset whitelines and the anti-lift setting you have now? What front LCA bushes were you running before when you had the whitelines in??

I had the standard front control arm bushes in and changed to Powerflex Black Series

Good stuff Troy, guessing it's stiffened it up a bit more? How's the vibration?

No vibration, I already had Whiteline control arm bushes in, yes it stiffens the front quite a bit, but its not a harsh feel

So i spent the day playing with the control arms, not literally lol.

Changed the rear bushes to Superpro, with the anti lift and the front of the control arm i installed Powerflex Black Series.

It was a total pain in the arse to do, i don't know how many of you have done it yourselves, i am so sore right now from being under the car for so long. Thanks to Gavin for lending me his extraction/install tool which made the job easier

Car is amazing to drive now, feels totally different, im very happy

Just out of curiosity, how did you pipe up the return from the PWR intercooler and did it make a difference?
