POD - The Lovable GTi - Rims Finished...

[KPerryGTi]

So £300 later and pod is back on the road! Cambelt Tensioner literally exploded! and my water pump was leaking, fun times!



I'm guessing that's the loud band I heard....

[Endi_GTI]

Nice one! I did mine a few months ago and the plastic had fractured on the tensioner but had not come apart like yours. Lucky the belt stayed on Cars looking good though dude

[KPerryGTi]

My newest addition....

[KPerryGTi]

So, few things to report... the front left wheel is rubbing horrendously! lol and also the springs are twanging but I'm working on fixing that...

Also today I have bought a new sub and have recently acquired another amp... So I have bought some materials to put it all together, thing is I need to keep my boot free for the pizzas I deliver as I put them in there to keep the smell out of the front! Sooo I will be running Front door, back door and tweeters from the head unit, 12" JBL sub off of one amp and 2 FLI 6x9s off another... bought all the cables splitters and power cap etc to fit, now just need to do it haha

[Ashcroft]

You'll be rubbing due to the 25mm spacers cos I rub bad with 15mm spacers.

What you mean springs are twanging?

[KPerryGTi]

When I turn the wheel, sticking on the top mount and then releasing resulting in a massive twang lol will sort it tomorrow... yeah only rubs on near to full lock lol

[Ashcroft]

Well least you know you can sort it mine only rubs going through dips which cause it to drop and hit the tyres but I'm ok on full lock

[KPerryGTi]

oh yeah I get that too but I expected that haha think I got a bit of loose trim in the wheel arch that its catching on...

[Ashcroft]

If its just the 1 wheel rubbing it could be as simple as that

[KPerryGTi]

So yeah the front left shock absorber has broken!! I'm on to the person I got them off now and it is supposed to have a 2 year warranty! Will keep you updated

[Ashcroft]

No way!! That's a pisstake! Make sure you have a good moan at them about it!
Where did you get them from??

On the upside least it happened now while still under warranty and at least it didn't fail completely

[KPerryGTi]

Lol deffinatly a good moan is needed! did it through a seller on ebay but he still offers a 2 year warranty lol gotta go take them off (AGAIN!) and take a pic... then they should replace it... front left side is hanging really low and there is fluid all over the shock and springs haha

[Ashcroft]

Well least that'll give them a good picture and they can't argue about it lol
Shame it's happened tho you must be fumin! I take it you've still got standard shocks n springs to put back on yeh??

[KPerryGTi]

yeah still got the standards to put on... just seems never ending, the clutch, the cambelt tensioner and now this! lol poor car!

[Ashcroft]

Aside from the faults I think there beautiful cars and when yours is running 100% you'll love it

Did you get my pm bout the local meet nxt week?
