You know you're low enough when:
- there's no gap between the tyre and arch - nobody wants to ride in it - everybody asks if it's broke - speed bumps are you're worst enemy - it's a nightmare to get on a jack - "professionals" pull a face every time you get work done

Bumping this...
I've just changed my dialy driver to a W202 C250TD and wanted rear camber adjustment.
How much were these made for?
I've found some on eBay from Poland but they end up at £112 delivered.

you upper harness mounts should be above shoulder height (or run over a harness bar/part of a cage that is above shoulder height) otherwise in the case of an impact, the harness effectively pulls down on your shoulders- which can either rip the front seat mounts out the floor, or dislocate collarbones. the upper rear seatbelt mount would be a better choice, or weld in a new fixing above the tailgate. Random fact, it only takes 7 lbs of pressure to break a clavicle! So I'd guess an accident as you described would do more damage than just a broken collar bone.

Any chance you could post these mate? Sorry, for collection only. I'm moving house soon as need to clear the space. If I have no interest in 7 days they're going in the skip.

No worries, I know there in bad condition, but would be great just to size up if they would work. Then you could buy a new set. Looks like the brother-in-law is having the Golf. I really don't want to sell but need to reduce my fleet down

Excellent! I think we require a video How's the power delivery? I'm wanting to turn one of my C250's into a STD. I fancy around 250bhp at the wheels but with a really smooth, gradual power delivery and not much smoke. I'm thinking 7mm elements and a tweaked OM606 turbo.

Great build! I've just bought two C250 TD manual's within a week of each other. Hoping to STD one as a daily. Have you seen these guys? Diesel Pump UK They seem to be building up some experience in the STD area.

Excellent work on the Brat and a REALLY good choice in colour!
I do favour towards the steel wheels, but I understand the weight issue.
Keep up the great work!

Hi, what model are you after? Petrol or diesel?
There's LOADS of mods you can do to MK3 Golfs!
Funnily enough though... I have a MK3 Golf for sale!

The missus and I are moving house shortly. One of my project cars is getting in the way. So therefore I'm looking for some short term storage in either Leeds or Wakefield.
I'm happy to pay the going rate, which looks to be around £50 per month.
The car will be MOT'd, taxed and insured.
I only require a space for up to 8 weeks maximum.
Any offers would be greatly appreciated.
