Ah I see, thanks very much for that mate 8) I definitely need some for the rear, my toe is way out! I need to keep the camber neg for the tuck though.

How do you go about measuring it correctly without laser equipment?

Not. :lol: If you really want a proper ready with 100% correct fact&figures, just go to a garage/tire-shop and get it read out with the alignment equipment. That focus on what you wish to achieve, and set your shims to the difference to compensate and get the figures you want.

A small, picture-less update: went on working on the mk4 yesterday, got ahead on the electronics. Climatronic is wired up now, as is the lighting-switch. still to be done are the regulator for interior lighting, alarmligthswitch, rear-window-heater-switch and boot-pop-switch.
So well underway, but not there yet :lol:

Cheers! Old picture with my old RS001's, hoping the "new" set of RS001's will look even better 8)

As far as the dash is concerned, still slowly working on the elecronics, already have the climatronic, rear-window-heater-swithc, headlight-switch hooked up, only the alarmlight-switch and tacho remain! But first gonna test it all before I'll start working on the tacho electronics.

Also had a nice tax-refund + a bonus at my internship, so probably gonna order my stand-alone motormanagement soon, so that I don't have to make that "investment" anymore in the future :D

Been a while since I've last posted an up-date :shock:

But unfortunately I haven't been sitting still, well, I have actually, behind my computer, surfing on gold old Ebay :roll:


Scored me a set of polyurethan bushing from Bonrath again, now for the rear-shocks, on the mounts on the chassis. These were the last bushing I needed to convert to polyurethan ones :mrgreen:

Image

Also got me some nice tool

Image

Ebay served a set of brand new dishes and hubs for the BBS RS001's :mrgreen:

Image

Bling bling 8)

Image

And a complete set of stainless bolts and galvanised nuts

Image

Rohm Motorsport anti-oil-splash plate (or however the f*ck you call that in Brittish :lol: )

Image

My new valve-cover, quite a rare one 8)

Image

15m Festo pneumatic hose for the new airride set-up

Image

And some Golf mk4 cabriolet/convertible sunvisors! Brandnew and in mint condition and of course spanking black to match my black rooflining
