    L8W FR - FR550 - Stage 2 - Hybrid Turbo to be fitted, Air Ride, Brembo 6pots

    More pictures slowly starting to appear from UD at the weekend Due to my new Recaros being heated.. I figured why not actually make them work and retrofit heated seats into the car, so now the seats have the elements etc all i needed was the dash switches, and the looms, still...

    L8W FR - FR550 - Stage 2 - Hybrid Turbo to be fitted, Air Ride, Brembo 6pots

    Traveled to Ultimate Dubs this weekend, and 2 days before leaving my Viair compressors both destroyed piston rings leaving me not being able to fill my tank and resulting in a tyre compressor being used to get me the 280 mile trip to Telford where i picked up 400c Dual comps from the OCD guys at...

I contacted TPS/Seat who can supply the heater buttons but its part of...

    Alloy fitment confusion

    They will fit, will have plenty strut clearance and wont protrude past the arch but should sit as near as flush, 205/215 Tyre will allow for extra room and will not be illegal.

    Thanks everyone :D As for the seats im not sure on a price, they dont come up often so may end up putting them on Ebay or facebook and see what sort of prices people are willing to pay for them, had a few offers already over £600 for them so i would assume they go for strong money.

    Knocking after fitting coilovers

    I would remove the drivers side wheel and look at your drive shaft, there should be some marking all the way around a part of it where it has been in contact with your ARB, if this is the case, shorter drop links will lift the ARB higher stopping the knocking on bumps.

    Knocking after fitting coilovers

    How low are you? Pictures may help this one. There are 2 things i think it could be.. 1. It could be your ARB fowling your drive shaft on bumps and causing the knock 2. Your drive shaft could be hitting your chassis rail (notch required) depending on how low you are, I have had to get a notch...

    Mk2 PD170 - Stuttering under boost sometimes - I dont think its EGR Related.

    I dont have an EGR for it to cause a stutter though, it was completely removed and all necessary pipes blanked, this was done the the morning before the map by the same company, Its was a Darkside EGR delete kit used, thats why i dont think its EGR related as its not there to cause an issue.
