Looking good Col. :good: What are they? Oh, and are you sure you've not resprayed it pink? ;) Thanks, theyre watanabe rs8's. some japanese 2 piece splits, quite popular on jap cars (Takumi out of initial d used them on his ae86, if youre into that sort of thing) theyre seriously light and where app...

heres a couple of phone pics that make my car look pink. new wheels though. http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q295/colledge123/IMAG0097.jpg http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q295/colledge123/IMAG0098.jpg edit for some nicer pics: http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q295/colledge123/5e2011f0.jpg htt...

mine sites higher too... but to be honest i just didnt bother bolting it onto the bracket, but it isnt hitting the bonnet.

cant wait to see the finished thing. you always see smoothed and de-bumpered mk1 golfs, but never sciroccos.

short answer yes, long answer no. they'll fit... but you will have some pretty severe arch problems. the fronts should be alright on standard suspension, but the rears will hit the arches if you have any load in the back.

ooo where did you get the brass ones from? i've got a bad case of shelf-falling-into-boot-itis too.

but surely you could get passed that by estimating what you'll need and getting a few jets either side, jets are cheap.

just had a rethink, 30mil spacers seem more suitable, original steels are 6j, et38, so 7j et35 doesnt seem like too much of a stretch right? i ran 7.5j et25 a while back and they where too wide to be practical.

i've got a chance of a nice set of porsche 928 wheels. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y88/mellonfish/monza/new-wheels3.jpg its a set of 4, all 16x7j, and i'm lead to believe theyre et65 (will confirm) lets say i use 20mm adapters, that'll mean they'll work out 16x7j et45 right? would that fit or w...

thats exactly what i wanted to hear, thanks mate.

well ive got a couple of cans of colour matched holts paint to give my faded mirrors and front bumper a spruce up. my question is... if i properly prep, prime and laquer the rocker cover, would it be alright? or do i have to use some HT paint? i'd love it to me body colour... but i dont want to have...

whitewall tyres, white bumper strips and roof gutters, white wiper stalks, white flocked dash, white interior. that would be so cool.

i think thats about average really. i drive a gt2, so thats a 1.8 carb (with webber) and on average small runs i'll get high 20's low 30's, but lately i've been driving longer trips (gradually moving my stuff over to my new student house) and got 120miles to £20, i work that out at about 36. i'm sur...

heres some from an old thread:




and jay4424's

seeing as the carb engine doesnt need a throttle cable bracket, does that mean a gt2 will take the rocker cover without any mods? i was just going to paint my rocker cover..... but a polished one would be lurvely. (i'm assuming the ex and dx engines use pretty much the same head?)
