Looking Good Mate
Back end looks spot on now the coilovers are fitted, gives it a real nice stance
87db is fine mate, it must have a silencer if its only 87 to be honest.

Looking mint. Exactly what I want to do with mine.
What size spacers have you got on the back there? Are they the set which you bolt to the hub using supplied bolts and then use the existing bolts to attach the wheel to the spacer?
Have you rolled your arches?

Cheers bud glad you like it... There 25mm front and back, and yeah they are hub centric and bolt to the hub then you bolt your wheels to them. Nope haven't rolled arches yet, going to soon and also get some stretched tyres on the rear....

So started the car this morning only to hear a bang and very high pitched wiring sound
had a look and the AC pump was disconnected, I did hit a massive bump last night and with the stiff suspension think its knocked something... but anyway took it to a garage and the camblet tensioner is broken!! So its getting fixed in the morning I hope!

Had the tensioner go on mine too mate, it collapased and was making a terrible sound
Literally sounded like a Diesel and it also had a high pitched wine too so got mine done at Volkswagen ASAP.

Its normally quite a pricey job mate
Tensioners, New Cambelt, Waterpump & Labour so your probably looking at £250-300

The guy that owns the garage is a good friend of mine and I used to work for him so hopefully some mates rates will apply! lol

Yeah that should help reduce costs mate, cost me close to £500 to get mine done at Volkswagen but that did include a full service too
