Re: easy way to adjust the camber

unfortunately i didn't have time for that yet. i had problems with one of the hoses from the intercooler plus some minor things around the engine. i'm probably going to take care of this next time i come to romania, since there is not much time left now....going back to france :)

Re: Lowering on 17s

why don't you try rolling the arches ? i did this yesterday because i'm preparing to lower it even more. i had to get rid of the screw like the guys were saying, but after that there was no more rubbing (and i was always having problems after changing the breaks and having to add spacers). now i'm r...

Re: Drivers seat wont move!

this might sound retarded, but did you check if there is any bottle stuck under the seat ? it happend to me once and it took me about 1 week before i realized, since i have the two door model and i was too lazy to check from the other side.
