Puglove's onxy 'state, bye bye

[Hdisw]

how much is that drop ? damn it's low low low ! looking good !

[puglove]

Im not sure fella , what ever raceland coilies are bottomed out 70 or 80mm i think

[puglove]

I took the old shagged beam that came on this apart today with the view to refurb but.......... Its pretty safe to say its totally f*cked and only fit for scrap, beam is dead inside it wouldnt even take a new bearing, the pins are scrap, & the TBs were so tight i had to smash the crap out of the trailing arms to get them out so they are pretty much scrap now,

So plan from here is to just use the 20mm TBs & ARB in the 80k drum beam, not ideal but will not cost me anything & and will give me a gti spec beam but with a good hand brake

[Tom]

haha holy shit, that is faaacked!

[mattyh24hdi]

Thats worse than the one ive just replaced on the misses car and I thought that was bad.

where abouts in wiltshire you from mate?

[Piggy]

wow...not quite like my beam eh jamie!

[puglove]

No but turns out it was a cabby beam with the tiny ARB . Luckly i have a spare gti arb already

[bobertmate]

such a sick estate, how wide are the steels? haha

[Ari]

Think some Lions or Challengers would suit it nicely otherwise it looks great! The '6 is the best though...

[mattyh24hdi]

Sorry mate im from Melksham wiltshire.

They were only 8J but they had silly offset because the were space savers and needed 15mm spacers on the front to clear the brakes

I had 17s on it before but I'm just not a fan. I like the look of 15s. But it does need more lows to pull it off. I've got bigger Tbs to go in the beam so I will lower it abit more when I put them in

Sorry mate im from Melksham wiltshire.

Not to far away then. I'm only over in calne.

[mattyh24hdi]

Ah right really are close may have to meet up at some point. Share some 306 love ha.

[puglove]

There is quite a few of us in and around the wiltshire area now

[mattyh24hdi]

Yeh ive noticed mate kind of good people around if need be.

[Piggy]

you got a spare gti rear arb then pal....Im feeling the need...

[puglove]

Nooo the one that came out that HDI beam was the same as yours so im guessing it came from a Cabby at some point lol

[puglove]

small update. fitted my gti torsion bars & Arb to my drum beam last weekend (drives much better now) and whilst i was at it i had to add more lows

Excuse the dirt, currently in winter dirt spec

[Tom]

Favourite estate on the forum! Looks awesome man

[puglove]

Gonna get some euro wheels for it after xmas now the stance is in the right place, jjust cant decide what to get

[Jimbo]

Some bbs reps 16inch.would suit

[puglove]

one of the choices among many, id love some xxr 527's but i kinda feel the estate needs dish!!

[Dum-Dum]

I need to get my back end lower to catch up now

[puglove]

[Dum-Dum]
