Ok, sorry I must be missing something here. What offset did he say these things were?+20 or +30?

I had a quick squiz on the net, and could only findthose wheels in a 20x8.5 114.3 in a +35 offest. With a 120 PDC they come in a +20 or +40. Not saying there aren't more options, but thats all i could quickly find.

So, with a 20x8.5 +35, you will have 11mm less on the inner, and extend 1mm further out. No need for rolling or anything if it clears on the inside.

I'm sorry if i'm barking up the wrong tree, its late, but I just don't want him to be thinking he's going to be rolling guards/shaving wheels...:thumbsup:

yes you are correct............ changing from a 8" +30 to a 8.5" +35 is 1mm out :)

they come in +20, +30, +35, +40, +45

so i could get a 9.5" in a +45 if i can tuck an extra 34mm ROFL

by the looks of it my battery is pretty much cactus but what i would like to know is cos ive pulled the battery out overnight to charge it do i need to do the ecu reset proceedure again???

i got an RDO today so im gonna go install the plenum spacer :D

Bastard.

I was thinking about the plenum spacer on the way in to work (Yep, I sit on the bus and think about cars.. what of it) and wish I could better explain just what a difference it makes; its actually frustrating how Im not able to articulate what a difference it makes! Its a pretty straight forward install, the guys have explained/documented it really clearly - looking forward to seeing your response once its in :thumbsup:

Theo, the spacer is not the wrong one.

It was cut from the same template as all the other spacers that have been installed.

As I said in my PM, it only goes on one way, so try flipping it over or switching ends.

FARK!!!!! yeah my mistake....... thought i tryed it all 4 ways HAHA

looking forward to seeing your response once its in :thumbsup:

ok what i noticed when i put the exhaust on it got very peaky/strong but once i fitted the spacer it brought it back down to a more smooth liniar pull as it was before, also it doesnt drop down a gear as quickly if u deside to punch it.

other than that i thought the exhaust note has changed slightly

Bingo!

Exactly what I found, don't need to lean on it as hard to get the same performance either. You'll likely see a slight improvement in economy; once the novelty wears off...:ph34r:

my coilovers turned up today so far only managed to get the fronts in, i'll finish it tomorrow and see how it sits but its looking rather low atm....... its about 50mm lowered, might have to bring it back up a bit :ph34r:

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
