needs to be lower
good height james, be good with the alleys on then sort the stance

put si spats on front and rear if they poke at the rear as well

Naaa man. I'd like the front lower though. The rear can go much lower than the front. But... I've highered it abit now. The exhaust silencer box was pissing out sparks everywhere. The fuel tank was 2 inches off the floor, not good at all. But don't worry, I'll be rolling like this to shows.

Allycats I'm trial fitting tomorrow and I'll get some pictures up. Until then, I'm awaiting some Si spats for the rear so I don't get questioned by the Policeeeee.

[EUFez]

Looks beautiful mate

Cheers mate.

[EUFez]

Now that is f**king low! I remember when I first put my coilovers on and it was absolutly decked Im SO tempted to just go piss around with my coilovers now and make it so low

I went that low for a day. Now it's your turn.

[EUFez]

More pictures...

Rake:





Hense the sparks...


If you can see, the silver fuel tank almost touching the floor, BAD!


Last pictures of it MEGA LOW!



Doing a service on it very soon, oil change, brakes etc. Plus I've been inspired by Danny's clean up of his engine, to do a clean up myself and spray a few bits Hammerite silver. Oh and abit of bad news... I have another hole in my sill. Time to replace I think. Far as I know Ford don't supply them anymore? So I will just have to look on eBay for some sill skins for Fanny and actually look after them this time. You learn from your mistakes LOL

pointless having it that low on roads of britain

may look cool but doesnt do the job its meant to do....
especially when your removing the manhole cover out of your fuel tank

[Minstral]

the reason vw's can go so low is that most of the stuff underneather like the exhaust doesnt stick out like in the pic of yr silencer. the undersides are almost flat .
i just need some rear coilovers now

ive heard the mk4 golf' arb hits the floor as well as some chassis parts if you go lower than 100mm or so

You also need to get the chassis notched so the driveshafts clear

[- Danny Boy -]

Yeah get paintinng your engine bay boy! lol. It will looks smart when its done

As for the hole, how bad is it? Could just get it welded up then tread the whole lot with a sand down and some new paint.

And longer roll bar links or remove the roll bar

[Minstral]

i love the euro scene but taking a bit out of the chassis i think is to much, and i would never suffer performance to go lower in taking the arb out. partly why i sold the gti as i had it to at the right height in my eyes but the arb was sitting on the cassis

[MK2 Jamie]

Y NO PICTURES OF ALLY CATS?

[EUFez]

I'll have to get a picture of it now, it's not as low as before, gutted!

Y NO PICTURES OF ALLY CATS?

Paitence my son. Will be fitting them tomorrow and uploading pictures. I promise...

Thanks to Bracknell, Berkshire Council and bad weather:

Fooking potholes

Fooking potholes

Yup - I'm going to try and get the photo of the pothole then go to my local council about it.

[MK2 Jamie]

Write a letter of complaint to you local council demanding compensation.

The question is... How much do I expect them to pay?

mk4 golf arb hits the driveshaft on drivers side when there 40mm or lower.

[EUFez]

Right, the Allycats are on. Sorry for the poor pictures, bloody iPhone and cheap cameras.

Hopfully getting some proper res photos done soon... So here we go.










With my mates ZS.








Sorry - Picture heavy. I drove it for like 10mins and there was smoke everywhere. Tyres were rubbing on the arches. So had to raise it a little. I'm taking them off tomorrow anyway as I need the arches rolled or to put the Si arch spats on. I burn't my finger on the tyre it was sooo hot. llama!

Dunno what colour to spray the centres?
-Golf
-Dark Cherry Red
-Ford Panther Black

???

Awaiting comments from Jony and the gang... Can't wait.

[dangerousdave]

satin black bud! or gloss maybe!?

[EUFez]

I dunno mate. I'm having second thoughts on all my plans now to be honest.

[fezza89]

i think the wheels look too wide

[bakewell001]

The fronts look great, but the offset on the rear just looks completely wrong imo. Even arch spats won't sort that out

I reckon the wheels on the zs would look just right on yours though!

[hb69]

Front looks good, rears are a bit too wide imo

[EUFez]

I agree with you all totally. I've looked at it from all angles, and quite frankly, it looks awful.

BIG, FAT, FAIL! Their up for sale now funny enough. LOL

You learn from your mistakes I guess. Even with arches thrown over the tread, it would still look weird.

So now I'm confused in what I want. What to buy, what colour etc. Confused BIGTIME! Not good...

[jayrs]

agreed also, too wide at the back.
never seen ally cats with a deep dish before though
