Chris180's New GTi

please take the awful rear splitter off chris, i'll love you even more if you do beacuse it will be just spot on, some VZR spats or something?
 
First update in a while that isn't just pictures of a clean car :lol:

Got the rear poly bushes on today with help from Ross and Rick. What.a.fucking.difference!! Took some mates out tonight who were shouting some not very nice words at me cause they thought I was going to loose the back end. Best handling mod without a doubt!! Next job is two new front Kumho's and off to CLCM who is our local guy for setting everything up handling wise who is a leg-end up here.

Also changed over the rocker so the "Green Bastard" has been retired from active duty :lol:

Also gave the interior a steam clean during the week, turns out it wasnt that dirty to begin with. Who would have thought ;)

you dont have to unbolt all that shit do you? I thought you could just swing the arms down?
 
you have to drop it down. never get enough access with it left in place.

youd burn your car out before the bushes release their grip.

in essence the job is

2 trailing arm bolts (just put a ratchet on, lie at the back and kick it, comes off no problem
pivot arm bolt (big breaker bar)
four strut top bolts
8 10mm handbrake cable / abs retaining bolts
2 retaining clips for brakes.

it took us just over 2 hours per car, bar problems we had with ricks...
 
i freed the whole beam
