[Guest daz205]

still no pics

Here are some piccies of mine. It's a non-adjustable Sparco, I kinda didnøt like the original blue colour, so I painted it black and red in the middle.

EDIT: Corrected the link. (Sorry the engine compartment looks like it does, haven't had the time to clean it up yet.. )

I've just bought a sparco adjustable and it's bloody brilliant!!!

 

Ten mins of my time, an 11mm spanner and a 27mm one to do up the adjuster nuts and that's it!

 

Cornering feels sharper and more responsive, and the whole front end stability of the car has increased - I love it!

Nice paint job mate I'm guessing a gti one will fit straight on to a rallye?

[Guest ADRIAN]

Yes it will

It will probably fit a French Rallye, but not a UK. (which is an stripped XS)

The strut brace will run right through the carb.

 

btw. I will paint it once more, I don't think the paint job is that good, but thanks anyways.

How do these after market ones fit with all the standard OE air filter in place?

 

And no, I dont want to fit an induction kit, i dont like them!

That's a good point Oracle.

 

Looking at that one of TB_205's it looks like there might be just enough room.

 

Anyone know the answer to this?
