Re: Dave J's Edition 30 - no. 1387 - Revo Stage 1
Dave J:
After a long, long time of no updates, and saving for parts - tomorrow is the day I will have the chassis nicely sorted on the car... pic of some stuff to be fitted;
Can't wait! H&R ARB's are being fitted too - really looking forward to how the car will drive after this lot!
Dave J:
Got home a couple of hours ago - will do a proper review of my findings, but so far, I find the ARB's & SALK kit to be amazing. Not pushed the car as the M40 and roads around were wet this afternoon.
Will go for a drive tomorrow on some roads I know well, to get a better feeling of how the car reacts now. So far it feels flat & planted :laugh:
DamoP:
have you fitted the forge hoses? I'm looking at some but need to see them fitted

Sorry Damo - I haven't fitted any of the hoses yet. Must get my a$$ in gear and sort them. They are the black Forge hoses though, so would look very subtle. OEM+ is what I want...

Hi Martin - they're actually neither! They were sold to me as S3 wishbones, but they arrived and were Passat numbered parts.
They are ali, and from the research I did - the difference between S3 arms and Passats is just the console. I was replacing this anyway, so it worked out in the end!
I cleaned them, and then acid etch primed - top coat was Halfords aluminium paint - turned out way better than I ever expected!
Went out in the car today - all the float from the front has gone. Love the way it is driving now, and I've barely tested it at all...
