Love the way your rolling. She's in good hands.

[M M]

Those look really nice.

[BB]

Hmmm Well ill be darned then. Its just the way that one looks, it looks like it would flex before it would do much stiffening but I belive the before and after story
I mean if it feels differnt and thats all you did it works!

Just like ball joint spacers do eh Noel, not as good as extenders for sure but they do make a difference. The arm swings over a differnt area and it stops the wheel being pulled inwards so much.

[Angle]

That's the one. Looks good.

[Nick]

they are very stiff. i also have a omp (made in italy) front strut and that flexes a crap load more. i use a special engineering program that shows all the week points and puts the bar under huge pressure so i could design it well to do a good job.

[Nick]

didint like the vw caps eanymore so made some gti ones

[Nick]

 

[Angle]

What I would like to buy off you is VW caps where the VW is raised, instead of lowered. Can you do that?

[Nick]

yea can do that easy

That so you have a stamp Dennis?

[Angle]

That so you have a stamp Dennis?

If they are being used as a stamp, I suppose I've written the car off!

[M]

just finished the first strut bar in alloy op you guys like them. i know i said they were going to cost $100 each sorry but they will be $150 each for mk2 and $180 for every over model.

cheers Nick

Are you still making these please Nick?

If anyone is interested, this car is now for sale in Northland.

Unfortunately it is a little rough around the edges cosmetically, but is still running well mechanically.

I have recently replaced the coilpack, plastic coolant flange, battery and 2 front tyres. It has also had new front pads 4 months ago and geometry adjustment at the same time as the front tyres.

WoF and rego to May 2017

Car will be listed on TradeMe shortly, but please PM for any info, I would prefer it to go to an enthusiast who will look after it properly!

[ranton-inc]

I wonder what happened to Dennis' old cars because both are like Hot potatoes.. they just keep getting bought and sold Constantly... The 24V SC Jetta and this....

Missing jack point covers in side skirts etc

[andyc315]

Jacking point covers are missing as said above.
Bumpers/exterior trims are a bit loose, I imagine they need new clips or some plastic welding, or both
Golf ball looking dent in the right C pillar

Paint is still surprisingly good for a car of this age though

I'm only selling due to going back to England in 7 weeks, otherwise it's done me well since I've owned it and I'd take it with me if it'd fit in my suitcase!

In the right hands it'd be an awesome little car again. Served me well as a daily driver. I've put 17000km on it after it'd been sat for a few months with the previous owner and only had a few niggles with it like the battery and coilpack.
