I’m running b14s in my gti mk5 2 door. Best money I’ve ever spent, 4 years later still mint

@DecimalTenths 2 года назад

Awesome to hear 🤣😁👍👍

@NorthCoastWorkshop 2 года назад

I've just fitted a fresh B12 suspension kit to mine (Bilstein struts/Eibach springs combo). Not a massive drop but handles superb 👌🏻 Glad to see it's not just my car that had a 'little' corrosion on the hubs. My backing plates were like Swiss cheese!! 😂 Seeing ur susp arm upgrades is giving me ideas! Brilliant content as always 🔥👍🏻

@DecimalTenths 2 года назад

Thanks pal, B12s are immense too and I initially wanted them, but in the end got a deal on the B14s so thought feck it... Most TFSI cars are a little corroded these days 🤣🙈

Hi there I’m loving your mk5 golf gti project amazing build. I have a mk6 golf gti and I’m fitting the bilstein b8 dampers with H&r sports springs.

When you change the front callipers all you do is hook up the pressure bleeder and crack all four corners at once? do you need to do anything else like bleed the abs pump?

I hook up the pressure bleeder and do them all one by one. If they struggle to bleed or if the pedal doesn't come, then I would consider activating the ABS pump with vcds to bleed them further.

Hi nick quick question I have bought king race bearings for my bwa engine con rods the thing is there’s a hole in bottom cap which one bearings don’t have hole in shell so blocks it off but king race bearings have hole in each shell so would that cause oil pressure problems any help would be great

@DecimalTenths 2 года назад

You saying the stock rod doesn't have rifle drilling but the bearings have a hole for the oiling? If so then using the bearings with a hole won't affect it at all.

@stevensmith3069 2 года назад

The lower cap has hole which is covered up by stock bearing but king race bearings have a hole the to so hole for rifle drilling and hole in lower shell which opens up the hole in con rod cap
