Ill probably go for heavy duty ones then. I use the car mostly on track but i do use it at weekends aswell on the road so i dont want to loose my teeth every drive. Thanks for the advise.

Evening all, Im looking to replace all of engine mounts of my mk2 scala 1.8i. I cant seem to find any polyurethane upgrades or any other uprated mounts for the car or mk1 golf gti. Dos anyone know of any? Or is there a reason why they are not available? If theres none available, Ill just fill them ...

I am the current owner of this beast.
Ive got a build thread somewhere down the pages, hasn't been updated in a while due to me being out of the U.K and the car being in storage.

Great yeah that would be great to see some old photos. Definitely be interested in learning a bit of detailing from you too! Yeah the wheels will be a practice really. Not 100 percent sure how I am going to get the paint off as I only have sand paper at the moment. Could be a long day haha. Could ...

I hadn't thought of that to be honest - I take it that is putting pics up of any works I do? Sorry I am a bit of a novice on the forum side of things! Talking about the wheels has spurred me on to purchase some sanding equipment, primer, lacquer and spray paint for the wheels today mind (many ...

Yeah the steels are in my garage awaiting a refurb but I do like the ats which I took off my old car. Yeah got the service key and put all the receipts and that into a file now in date order. I love all that business - a bit sad I know! I am planning on attending a few shows in the new year. Yeah ...

Brilliant - thanks for the update! It's good to know that the story the bloke told me was true and backed up by the history file for it! Matt was the guy who bought it from you apparently - he took the bump strips off and put some aftermarket OZ wheels on I believe... Unless that was yourself ...

No I bought it from a bloke in Yorkshire a few months ago! The bloke who bought it off you (I am guessing?) had it for a few months but then bought a mk1 fiesta which he has always wanted apparently. Were you related to the original owner who had it for 18 years or however long it was? Small world ...

My old scirocco :) Still looks ultra clean im glad to see, also looks better on the ats wheels.

Are you still the same owner who bought it from the walsall area?

I just did a quick search on eBay, they have polished aluminum mountney centre horns for around £16. A bit bling for me, but could always paint it black if you can't find a plastic one.

Just had a thought, I'm sure my boss had a horn button included,yours might too.

I had an astrali wheel and used the original centre horn push button. I had to adjust the wiring slightly as that only had one wire for the horn.

I'm sure eBay should bring up some centre horns to fit a mountney wheel.

Shaun

Had one of these on my polo coupe s which is small spline and my rocco wheel fits on that and vice versa.
Should work for you too

Just a few ideas for you to look at. Engine mounts allowing side to side movement? ARB bushes tired? If you have done wishbones then i presume that the clamps and outer bushes looked ok, How about the inners on the wishbone rear mounts? Hub to suspension strut bolts torqued up correctly? The screw ...

Ive checked the wheel bolts, will check the hub nuts. Ive also had new ball joints on the wishbones done less than 500 miles ago, i didnt do the track rod ends so maybe ill do them too while im working on it. I did have knocking on acceleration and decleration just after the clutch, the engine mount ...

The time has come for me to start looking at fixing my scirocco after getting annoyed with it and ignoring it. My problem is there is a loud knock everytime the car changes direction. Its fine on acceleration and braking and during cornering, just on weight transfer left/right. You can also feel the ...
