Re: My GTX Project

Thanks for that parch, just the kinda feedback and help i needed! :good:
Ive decided on 195/45/15 toyo proxes t1-R's, the 195/50/15s look too chunky. gonna have to wait till next month though! Plenty of work left to do in the meantime though!

Re: My GTX Project

Well i originally bought these for my polo, but after seeing how much hassle it would be to get them to fit, i figured they would look better on my rocco anyways. So ill probably go for 195/50/15's, think they should do the trick :)
Thanks for the imput anyways! :good:

Re: My GTX Project

Cheers mate! Im still undecided on tyre size though, im hearing 165/50/15 is good for a nice amount of stretch, but im not sure if they will look like the tyres are painted on or not! Im definatly going on coilovers with this so it'll be low, but not ridiculous. Dont want big chunky tyres, but dont ...

Thanks Nate!

Quick shift kit, or a better one..

Hi people!
I know this has been asked many times, but i just want some advice, ive only ever driven two mk2 sciroccos, and both of the gear changes are abit sloppy and almost too light? I know you can buy refurb kits with bushes and what have you, but does this actually make the shifts tighter, and ...
