Jeffchiz's Golf *R-tech stage1 244bhp 325ft/lbs* *Cambelt change*
Jeffchiz:
Been in the north east visiting my old mate tom so i could kindly use his unit and his help!
We got up early and after a fuel and coffee stop we got up to his unit and got the car inside after picking the S3 arms up from TPS along with a new thermostat and coolant (due to me being unorganised i didnt get nay brake fluid in time)
emptied the boot
got the car up on stands, got the front wheels off an went around the corner to have my michelin PS3's fitted
Then once back at the unit we started on the wishbones, old gti vs new s3 arms
First one fitted (stupidly I forgot to order ball joints but mine are fine so no harm done
Tom fitting the second one (he loves pic of himself on my threads)
Final pic of both wishbones and wheels/tyres fitted, drove much nicer on the way home :D
Unfortunately we didn't realise how much of a ball ache the thermostat is or should i say how much of a ball ache it could be, either way its buried behind other components and it was getting late in the day so that will wait until next month when hopefully ill do another visit with the brake fluid and the bottom powerflex engine mounts, a bit more ring prep :homme:

jeff coming along nice s3 wishbones how much are they from TPS
do they come with the console as well
just remember to get the tracking done as the new tyres might wear out on the inside
whats next on your list pre cat delete and panel filter
what the difference with s3 wishbones i know they are lighter
does it ride better less roll soild on a bend apex
thanks for all the updates and reply

great remap results considering the pre cat is still there. I had to remove mine to get those figures.

They were £225 from tps and yea they come with the consoles, as well as the lightness they also have solid rubber mounts compared to the voided gti bushes, basically the gti bushes have holes in them to allow more movement but makes the steering less precise
