Glad to hear that the car is still running well, and that you're moving forward with it Mark. These cars look and drive so much better when they're a little lower. Nice touch on the AUX. Is that from a Mk2?

 

[MarkWales]

The Aux is on the cards to be added not sourced yet - car feels better allready with only the rears done. Yours is looking amazing at the moment.

Here is the picture of the rear drop

Just had a read of this, I think I will give this a go as a have a knock both sides, pretty sure it's the track rods where I left the rack hanging on them for like 4 days lol! I've been wanting to get rid of the powerflex cupra r top mounts too so this is the perfect oppertunity! Cheers Mark!

This gets me so amped to get **** done, when you look at what you started with, and then what you have now, definatly worth all the hard work.

Mark your thread is a fantastic read, I have just bought a TDi FR and have found this thread a great help I'm going to be lowering the car on coilovers and in the near future will be bringing the lean down the Bill aka badger5 as he done a great job on my Audi. I'm based in Swansea so hope to meet up with you and Andrew in the near future at a local meet

 

[MarkWales]

Thanks guys - so far so good with the coil-overs not too harsh a ride. Mostly been just adding fuel and mileage to the car recently.

Been spending most of my time and money of my road bike getting ready for summer

after buying this great bit of kit for use with my polisher

 

[joshy514]

I've never liked the RS4 wheels on a Leon, a Golf or Bora I prefer, but these are looking better now they're all polished up! Not really a fan of the centre caps either, didn't ever get round to making the 'S' badges haha?

 

[MarkWales]

abandoned installing front coilovers this morning due to lack of 18mm impact socket - could not free the hub carrier from the leg

refitted the star fish alloys for now though so the winters can come off
