These will look sick. Can't wait

The wheels look awesome!!
And also if you do put the VR in the 2-door are you going to do raised motor mounts for more lows???

Thanks. If (well its more like when, I miss the sound so much) I put the vr in, ill probably run a shortened sump and r32 pump again like I did on my old vr. I had fresh stage one mounts and that combination was enough to bring it up above subframe, without raising the engine and losing axle/frame clearance (not that there was any)

Sounds like a good plan!!

Where do you get the shortened sump and r32 pump from usually? Bottomed out on yet another metal speedhump today!

I had a custom shortened steel sump from someone on the Vortex in the US, was a very nice piece of metal! It has to be the mk5 r32 pump and I got that from 1stvwparts for like $180.

In other news, failed a second roadworthy today. Its pretty ****ty. It passed in NSW before I bought it. May complain to the dealer/mechanics who passed it.

Same people - or a different guy? Whats the fail points now? I dont know if I will be able to get my car a safety certificate here either which apparently I need to transfer the rego to qld rego? Coils and pretty low, small tear in the drivers seat will probably fail me!

borrow some stock suspension, and whack on a seat cover. wouldn't be the first dubber to do it!

[Ben J]

Different people. People I know where a little more lenient. They got me for different things. Still think 2 tyres are bad, my rear brakes, wiper bladers, handbrake needs adjusting and a crack in the alternator belt. Much cheaper/easier things to fix then an aircompressor and power steering pump/rack along with wheel bearings etc from the other place.

Granted mine is only lowered an inch on springs not coils, had a rip in the seat and just put seat covers on it, only thing they got me for was my saggy roof liner, that was at Jax Tyres here in Brisbane...

Jesus. Registering a car in Queensland seems impossible haha.
