SurreyED30's 2nd Edition 30 #SOLD!
SurreyED30:
Yeah it was a bit worn and had never been changed, £30 for piece of mind isn't worth avoiding.
I want to get a few bits done before Xmas:
front and rear anti roll bars
Super pro anti lift kit
Dog bone mount
new ferodo pads
Hel lines
then work my way up to stage 2+ after Xmas :evilgrin:
welikeaps:
i remember your old one from one of the lakeside meets. Were you the guy that had the motorcycle crash and ended up in hospital?
SurreyED30:
Wasn't me bud, can't remember who it was that had the accident.
Still miss my first edition 30, it got wrote off within 5 months of me selling it, I remember marvin (MVB12) messaging me the auction for wrote of cars for sale :( seen it on swaps.com and eBay a few times now, advertised with very little info about the mods and history of the car etc so probably got a numpty new owner

Just a word of warning on the front Anti Roll Bar.
Myself and a friend of mine (who's a mechanic) had a massive ball ache with the front Anti Roll Bar recently.
We were just wanting to change the bushes and not the whole bar. We watched the ECS tuning video YouTube and figured it looked a handy enough job.....
Holy sh*t.....
It was a mare....
We had to drop the subframe completely (rather than just let it down an inch or 2 as per the ECS video). Then we realised the bushes are fixed to the Bar as VW obviously want you to buy the bushes and bar as a single unit. We had to chop the nuts off thr original bar. Etc etc etc
It was painful. We finished up at 5am having started at 5pm....
Anyways.... Just a word of warning. I'm still pretty convinced we must have done something wrong as there is just no way changing the bar, or even just the bushes, should be so hard.
To top it all off my subframe now creaks like a bitch because we obviously "over stretched" the stretch bolts......
(Reading back on this; maybe myself and my friend are just idiots :laugh: :laugh: and you'll get it done easy enough :smiley: :happy2:)
Anybody else on here with an experience of "front anti roll bar ball ache syndrome"?? :rolleye: :rolleye:
