[D Turbo Lyle]

37k miles!! nice find dude... iv gota d turb atm but a gti6 is my next project to be... keep up the work dude

[puglove]

cheers fella

[Dum-Dum]

If you know the ball joint is dodgy and you've just replaced the shafts then I'd do the ball joint (its probably cheaper than new shafts too)

[puglove]

its a brand new ball joint with a new pinch bolt chris. it knocks ever so slightly but im scared to cranck the pinch any more in fear of snapping it :/ shitty patten parts

[Matt]

Or ovalled hub?

[puglove]

it was fune before i changes them. only did it because i was working in that area of the car and thought f*ck it i'll just do it.......wish i hadnt bothered now

[MissTap_GTI6]

I've got a very similar problem.
Had the wheels re-balanced and it has sorted the problem. I also have one slightly buckled wheel, which doesn't help.

But, I now get shakes when pulling off fast in 1st and 2nd.... The search continues.

[puglove]

Mmmm 4 pots........

[Piggy]

cool! clean ya bloody wheels!!

[puglove]

already done

[Piggy]

they are epic...but shame they are a bit dull...bit lost/sleeper!

...this ready for you pulling ya finger out and chargin it?

[devils_fuel]

Looks shit and was fitted by a girl

[puglove]

depends if the gear box decides it would like to select 2nd gear or not. as that could be a bit of a set back in the grand scheme of things


but yeah i like that they arnt in you face and kinda dont look out of place

FU man FU

[devils_fuel]

Ha ha jamie.

They are nice but agree they look almost std but that's the appeal for you I guess?

I had this problem alot with my 6! Have fun with the 4 pots. I bloody loved mine.

[puglove]

yeah i like the sleeperish look of them. more attractive than big yellow ones with red writting under a big set of 17 motor sport wheels IMO

---

do you find you have more pedal travel now nial?

& what was cousing the issue with 2nd?

Yep had more pedal travel which became a lot more when i rebuilt my rear callipers so they actually moved but then again, my brakes always were on/off before i started replacing bits.

Dont know about the 2nd gear issue. Never got round to fixing it. Think its having a new box put on it soon. Occasionally, i would put it into 2nd and the stick would come straight back to the hand brake. Out and back in again and its fine. Mind you, i hardly drove that car sympathetically! :p

[puglove]

Right so im actually getting things done on this now that other things are done and time is freeing up. I got the 4 pots on last week and i tonight i set about starting to fit my 23.5mm TB's and hybrid ARB , THANKFULLY iv had this beam apart before so it has came apart fairly easily this time

So anyway the bit every one likes...... pics

[SKoob]

Looking good, got to be the beam swappage at the weekend that's got you motivated

[puglove]

Must have been lol,

[Tom]

Looks good man, those torsion bars look huge compared to the standard ones!

[puglove]

Yeah they look pretty dam beefy in flesh lol

[SKoob]

I can see what you mean about being the thickest that will fit with out removing the trailing arms, looks like its gonna be tight

[Scott]

So err I'm a bit behind the times with this, is it definitely not being charged now?
