The Death Star (jetta 2.0tfsi) **NOT A HAPPY BUNNY**

[Lewis86]

Yes mate.........there a fuxkinn pain in the arse!! Ive been looking on some yank sights an they all use 43mm bolts but I've order 35mm! An it's going in for new tyres camber and tracking done tomorrow so I'm hoping they have some or know where to get some! And now my new hid kits stopped working altogether on the passenger side! Grrrrr getting annoyed gentlemen

R-line grills are a waste of time - they only fit the mk5 GTi bumper - outer corners don't fill the gap.

Jetta looks amazing!! Did you bin the ARB??

[Lewis86]

Eyup polo, cheers mate! No I dint get rid of the arb mate I've got the performance set up so it has extendable drop links attached :) and I trust your judgement on the r-line fogs but I've got to try to get them to fit first mate! Besides at least ya can turn round now and say I told you so ha ha

[Stanipkiss]

Your not having much luck lately Lewis. Good luck with trying to make the R-line grills to fit 

How did the camber and tracking go?
Are you keeping the chrome around the windows?

[Lewis86]

No mate I'm not  the front left suspension is knocking now aswel so the boys at Airtechnik have been out to have a look, we spent 2 hours taking things apart but with no trophy at the end so it's going back to them next week  so over Christmas leave il be trying to fit the r-lines and finally get some decent photos out up!

 The camber upfront was a nightmare an is a degree out on one side but they did there up most an spent several hours trying! Il get the print out put up at some point!

Little update is I ordered some flee bay led bulbs for the rear number plate and I'm going to de-name the boot but might leave the jetta name on?!

[Ashmk5]

nice work youve done there mate. what are the specs on the wheels? i like the look of the rotiform ind but i dont really want 19s. and those amg look very similar.
and top job on the air ride, i keep thinking it over but im a static man at heart. haha

[Lewis86]

Cheers matey! Welcome along! The wheels are 18x8.5 et41 fair bit of poke but when you slam it they tuck pretty nice, but I've just noticed that the inner arch has scratched an transferred paint so I'm going to have to have the arches pulled an wheels refurbed at some point! An this is my first setup on air an I wouldn't look back (I've "always" been a staric man) the diversity of air is amazing and so is the handling 

[woahnowboys]

When're you starting on the R32 swap?

[Ashmk5]

ahh thankyou :) its good to be back on a friendly forum. I think its the handling side of things that has put me off but then again i have never been in a air ride car.

[Lewis86]

Ellis be quiet you, putting thoughts in my head you evil man 

And I live by sennas golden rule if there's a gap take it, and I have to say the handling hasn't scared me once yet! Besides you should see some of the cars on air on youtube its immense mate

[Lewis86]

f*cked off doesnt come close!?!?

explination-

so ive treated myself to a k2 pressure washer and gli sideskirts  in a great mood, festive feeling but............ on the way home i come to some speed bumps i always go over, so i raised the car as i come to them only for the f*cking thing to slam itself while im half way over them   

so ive now damaged both my front arch's and knocked my rear bumper out of line, not only to mention that now when fully raised my struts are knocking like f*ck!?

well pissed off as ive not got the money to sort it and im going to have to max out my credit card!! not what i needed for the new year

guess im doing that go dry for January, February and march!!!!!

rant over!! will pull up some pics of the damage tomorrow

[woahnowboys]

That sucks massively man, I feel for you.
Hope the work doesn't turn out too expensive.. 

[Lewis86]

Well not posted in a while, been working away a lot an just found out in going to be a dad!!

[Andy]

[Lewis86]
