My new baby

[Jamo]

Wicked one final question, the part numbers for the subframe attachments?

did you buy them separately btw or did they come with the bar?

[Big Lee M]

You only get the poly bushes with the ARB. I have all the part numbers for the clamps nuts and bolts. I will post the numbers tomorrow for ya. Glad I'm able to help.

Does this bar come with re-enforced brackets to strengthen this metal part where more pressure is applied once this fat RARB is mounted?

[Big Lee M]

No this bar didn't come with the re-enforced brackets,I rung a neuspeed dealers about just the brackets and they were going to be around £70 So i didn't bother with them.

Part numbers for the clamps and all new bolts to fit the RARB,

AN 040 240 4,Bolts for ARB links X2 57p each
AN 021 195 5,Hex nuts for the ARB links and clamps X6 56p each
AN 101 016 03,Bolts for the ARB clamps X4 64p each
A857 411 335 B,Clamps for ARB X2 £2.34 each
8D 505 546,ARB drop links Audi/VAGparts were the same price £28.08+vat each

Hope this is of some help to you Jamo?

Thought i'd better update with a few pics................

Was having a bad boost leak thought i had sorted it and then it would be back But after blowing the TB hose off i noticed that i had a little hole in it as well Thank god for Add as he has lent me another hose for time been.
The hole

Looks as if the clamp has eaten its way through it.

Luckly i manged to get it sorted before my 1100mile roadtrip/holiday in the Highlands
Here's the pics of the new rear speakers fittet.


The Amp and Sub

I fitted all Vibe amp wire kits and quick release plugs with power/ground/remote.

And the brilliant seats i bought from Ben(shark 90)still comfy after the roadtrip

[Acidburn]

Nice upgrades there, just out of interest what make are the rear speakers and did it give you more rear sound out the system?

[lind4hl]

acidburn: they are alpine type r speakers

[pixsaudisex2]

:mischeif: I just replaced on of my samcos because of a hole like that. suppose they aint oem after all.. Anyone else had a failure on them.
Seats look good though. An bet your ears are ringing when you turn your stereo off.

[A80Avant]

in the first samco batch i had the same thing but on the smaller hole. I think paul made the next batches better.

I have that hose in blue by the way if anyone needs it

Nice seats!! get them all black though! i think they will be better!

I would like a RS2 rear seat with the grey centre,which would look good.
@ Acidburn the man was right they are Alpine Type R's which sound great run of the amp.
@pixsaudisex2 I think the problem with the hose i have is that the flange is too small,so the clamp is right on the end of it.These's are Roose hoses.

I aslo found a hole in the hose that goes to the DV from the inlet of the intercooler,had to trim it down.I have another boost,leak only a little one though.Will have to get that sorted soon.

I just used hi-torque clamps but standard jubilee's are rated to about 30psi so are good enough if you ask me.

Love the highlands trip think me and are lass are going back in the summer for a week on the north west coast As requested some pics
This is where they filmed the first Harry Potter with the flying car. Not far from Fort William.


As we headed up towards the coast we stopped at a place called Morar, which had white sand beaches and clear waters. Stunning place

This is what the coast line is like heading up towards Mallaig.


We headed up to Aviemore and to Oban on the little road trip.


This is the house from Monarch of the Glen that was on BBC1 and this is the gate house

We had are dinner in the highest restaurant


Oban

This is Ben Nevis from the Garden of the house we was stopping in

I got a few more from Aviemore and a few others.
