[Golf Loon]

does it run??

[Mrk_Mickey]

Not yet Matt I haven't been able to get to it to put the last few things back on.

[Mrk_Mickey]

Allllrightey! I've finished doing the car, and I turned it on this morning to hear that sweet, sweet engine noise FIRST GO! I was so chuffed..A coolant hose popped off because it wasn't put on properly but after I fixed that all was fine.

I have two weird problems lol.. First is the wheels. They're shockingly un-aligned (they steer on their own!! )
Second is this brake issue I'm having..I can brake fine, but sometimes (especially when coming to a stop at the lights) my brakes might seize (almost as if ABS kicks in) and shudder and the pedal pushes back up at me. I thought it could be a fluid issue and I will check to see if there's air in the lines, but is there anything I missed?

[WABIT]

did you lower it? because if you did........you need to adjust your toe in-out with the steering

and maybee your disc's are warped and need machining, that can create shudder and pedal push

hope that may help

Hey Mr Mickey,

where abouts did you buy these items from. wanted to get a nice cat back exhaust, then perhaps extractors and front pipe in the not to distant future. any ideas..??

Does anyone know a good exhaust place in the inner west or east sydney area.?

Cheers
Johnny k

I actually bought my exhaust items off a mate who was working with Graysonline at the time. I bought them for stupidly cheap prices....
Wheels came from GOLFBALLS in WA, they were cheap as chips too. I no longer have coilovers, everyone can ask Jayjay why..

Oh and Dom, thanks for the words mate. We took out and put back the driveshafts so the wheels are totally misaligned. Thank goodness I don't have my new wheels/tyres on there, they'd be getting munched!
