All Things Mk5 > Spotted
Silver GTI - J5HDR/HDN or similar??
GTIjames:
Wet and muddy road with some brand new tyres caused the back end to fly out when going round a bend next thing I'm ploughing into a grass bank and ended up in a ditch...
Body work doesn't look too bad but front end - engine, rad, gear box, suspension, steering rack are all smashed
Will get final reports this week, I would like it back if possible but not looking promissing :sad1:
Saint Steve:
Didnt u have the quafe diff fitted james?? wonder if that constituted to the back end stepping out?
Im gutted for you, as i know how enthusiastic about your car you were.
Main thing is your ok, your not in any trouble, and if it is a right off, you have some money to splash on a new project :smiley:
Thor:
Gutted for you dude, car lokked mint at the pod a couple of weeks ago.
Hope everything works out how you want it to. :happy2:
NB07:
thats terrible news james, glad your ok and looking forward to the next project :smiley:
GTIjames:
thanks for the kind words all :happy2:
no diff fitted steve, just those hankook rs2 z212 tyres.. awesome in the dry but in the wet they just let go and there was no warning - i have never experienced anythig like it in the 2 1/2yrs I have owned the car...
anyhow if its not fixable then I will be back in something nice v soon - currently without a car as I wanted it to go to a vw garage so no courtesy car.. and its killing me
