    Fair play to you! Is that passat lowered?

    Or lowered with belongings!

    LOL. Its lowered on Koni coilovers, also polybushed on the front. Makes such a difference to handling.

    Did I see this in Glendalough yesterday? Looks very similar to one I saw!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,599 ✭✭✭tossy


    I gave the car a good cleaning for fermoy and ended up not going :) gave the seats a good dose of Gliptone, hard to believe there are 172k on these seats.

    You certainly did, I wanted to head to Cork for VAGE '14 but wasn't able, so a spin in the mountains was compensation :D

    You didn't happen to spot the UK reg blue MkII Leon Cupra R in Glendalough too? I was parked in the Upper Lake car park but the owner was in the car so I didn't want to go snapping pictures of it. Looked stunning....was it at VAGE too?

    Not really.
    I'm here, and I could never be described as being of sound mind.

    Nice first car indeed, well wear :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,972 ✭✭✭Chris_Heilong


    Its in need of a good wash and DA, but this is how my car is now and for at least the next 3 months until I have money again. Things left to do are: fit new steering wheel(I will do it next week), new rear bumper, Series 2 LED tail lights, lower profile tyres, fit front fog lights, and 2 nice dark coloured seats for the front.

    Were they a straight fit onto the Corolla?

    The F/TF use the weird old Triumph 4x95.25 PCD so they don't fit much else apart from auld Maestros and things unless you use PCD adaptors.


    I noticed after buying them they didn't fit exactly. But once I put one on at a time and tighted them on one at at time they fit fine.

    They are def off an MG.

    I considered spigot rings for the centre bore but read elsewhere that all they do is centre the wheel initially and that makes sense. And read that the hub takes 99% of the forces and the wheel nuts the remaining 1%.

    Might my wheels shear off?

    That's really bad news. :(

    Edit:

    Strongly recommend you to measure PCD correctly to make sure.

    And many Rovers have 4x100 PCD:

    Edit 2:

    Well, I was wrong and they probably are from MG TF indeed.

    Def get the spigot rings, you also wobble nuts (yes, really) to make up the difference in PCD

    My Rial daytonas were like a prostitue when it came to the gap in the centre bore, they weighed a tonne and they were fine. PITA to align them though.

    VW give a very handy tool in new cars to eliminate that problem.
