Service, MoT, new tandem pump, new front discs and pads, power steering fluid change all done this week...should keep going for a tad longer ;)

I'm in the Exmouth area so depending when and where I could be available :) I have a busy work load so can't promise to make but will do if I can :) Would be great to catch up with a few guys and gals.

Barkclark, im running the B4's with H&R 45mm springs, and i also changed the top mounts front and rear whilst this was done with new. The car is tight with a firm ride. The B4's are the OEM replacment shock but are much better in quality in the important areas. I can reconmend what i have...

I gave the old girl a clean, that's it.. lol ;)

So, after about two months of the H&R (45mm) springs sitting in the office I finally got the car fitted with B4's, new bump stops and new top mounts front and rear. The ride is so much better. I think the front is a little too low for me but I can live with it. The car has settled a lot more...

Yes mate, kept the same gear knob and gaitor, still yet to change for a newer one lol, as for the others im not sure, APS in Brackley work on my car and fitted it for me :)

Im running the Neuspeed Kit, expensive but a really good bit of kit. I've had it fitted at least a year now :)

Many thanks :)

Deano, do you have a link/website address to the ETS pipe please bud. TIA :)

Thats made me chuckle james ;) i reckon 50p and a packet of cheesy puffs thrown in for good measure would cover it.. ;) But seriously the advice above about selling for parts is the best bet more than likely...

I was running 19' RS4 reps but due to me travelling 600 miles a weekend, these were just not ideal, so I purchased some genuine 18' Ronal 5 arm (RS6) wheels. So much better ride quality and looks better IMO :) all depends on your views and travelling mate :)

APS in Brackley supllied and fitted it mate.

As Dan as said, and i'm the same , 60k max for me too so i work on the rule of every 4 years or every 60k whatever comes first and your car is a B7 chassis model :)

I can't help with the ebay ones, but i run the Neuspeed Shortshifter and Bubstar runs the Stratosphere Shortshifter, buts these are fairly expensive but cracking at what they do. Iirc the Neuspeed kit was over £100. HTH :)

I run a BMC panel filter, have only used BMC in my previous cars also and they are spot on. Extremely good quality. I take mine out every 6k or so and give it a clean and pop it back in. :)
