Ah I see, thanks very much for that mate 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. 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

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

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

Well, just to give you guys a look into "the man behind the car", or better said Idiot behind the car, here some recent pics from me at the Essen Motorshow

"Crazy dutch bastard"

^^ The Dutch smoke too much lol!!!

^^HAHA

Well, didn´t do that much on the mk4 lately, but bought me 2 of these



gauges for the airride install, black dialed

and got me a set of 4 brandnew centre/caps for the BBS RS´es on order! Hoping to get me some more RS-parts soon

Slick

Cheers Tim,

also, forgot to mention, but also took the RS'ses all apart, need to snap me a picture of that too. And found a firm to order my new lips, bolts and nuts from

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

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


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



Also got me some nice tool



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



Bling bling



And a complete set of stainless bolts and galvanised nuts



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



My new valve-cover, quite a rare one



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



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

Looks like eBay has served you well!! I've been looking for some Black sunvisors myself. You've got my thinking now

I know 2 more sets overhere for sale in Holland, one set with lighting next to the mirrors, costs 125 euro, 1 set like mine without lights, costs 95 euro.
