Hey Dom.

You may wanna' check and amend the FS link in your signature, I don't think it works or links to the correct page which could of course defer potential buyers  :scared:

As for the Eagles... I remember seeing them in the old wembley with my rents, and we left early, cos they weren't on form that night!

Nice looking .:R. I prefer them bra-less. Looking good lowered too  :notworthy:

What was your opinion about the Unibrace strut? - Most folks seem to think that it greatly improves the Mk4 but not needed for the Mk5.

Well with the uprated suspension which i was running rather stiff, i felt it made a hell of a difference, like you could feel it difference... I would like to get another one for this car... but it's gonna be a long road... Bet it's a mod i'd definately do! And it's sooo well made and looks ace! Especially when you take the extremely heavy rear seats out!

....You're not helping! The Unibrace was once on my mods-to-do list and then was taken off the list and now...............

Wel if you've uprated your suspension, with bushes, coilovers, arb's etc then it's a must, especially on track day cars...

It felt like it takes away that inital roll when turning into a corner, it's just feels sharper, like the chassis is twisting less before the turn in starts...

....I told you you're not helping!! :fighting:

[Thanks for that info - It's actually the first time I've heard anyone describe the Unibrace benefits in practical detail]  :drinking:

Do you ever take yours in and out, and how easy is it? I'm thinking it might interefere with sometimes carrying a full size Kurzweiller keyboard!

I never took mine out apart from when I sold, and i locktited the threads, but it literally took 3-4mins to remove... Took a bit longer to install as it all needs to line up well, drilling and putting the rivnuts in etc, and install on level ground!
