Hello people, i'm new on the forum and just wanted to introduce myself and the motor! So here it be :

(taken not so long ago)

The one below was taken about 20 minutes ago, after i'd just lowered the car more on it's coilovers, but i've had a problem with the one of the front wheels rubbing and making a horrible noice on the wishbone when on full lock, does anyone know how to get round this?

My mates polo makes that kinda noise when on full lock, he said somthing about the the tracking was out by half a turn? if that makes sense but not sure could be something else?

nice car by the way

nice car mate, mine seems to do the same but I ain't sorted the tracking cos now the cars at a different height. Try get that checked to see if it makes any differences
