looks mint mate and its always nice when you find the sweet spot of the comfort and handling that suits your preference. Oh you know red and black goes 100%
Perfect, this is exactly what I'm looking to achieve with my V6, love the black, I've just put black Rotiform's on my Avus grey and it was love at first sight, compliments the other black accents of the V6. Thanks for doing this Dom 👍🏻now to follow suit 💪🏻
Looks spot on, black and red is perfect too. The H&R springs are nice aren’t they. I need to sort my bushes before long I reckon, will definitely refer back to this video!
Yeah I know what you mean, I’m still on the fence about the black wheels, they may get changed down the line. How they sit is how them come to me so can’t complain
Love the wheels, didn't realise you had cattle in Hemel hempstead😉Black wheels work. I'm actively considering swapping my wheels for your BBS + Cash if you fit them🤣see you are already marked up for a trip across the sea!!! Brilliant glad you are happy...sounds like a rocketship!!!!!
Belle vidéo 👌 😉. Beau TT rouge et belles jantes noires. Un bord poli sur les jantes noirs c beau aussi, j avais des Ronal R 51 noir à bord poli et ct pas mal. Mais à chacun ses goûts. 😉👍car votre TT est super 👌
I’m looking to have the best comfort coilovers, full suspension, replace all the bushings and sway bars and really every piece under my 225 as possible. as well as lowering mine just a little as I have 19inch ottinger rims already. I’m looking to spend only 1k to 1.5k max not sure if b14 or b16 are better or kw so many options.
Stick it on an MOT shaker table and get the welder out. Front sub frames soft as cheese. The sway bar mounts are a huge contributor to the turn in slop.
Black on red. I don’t think there’s a better combo. But you are right about cleaning them every day. I’ve definitely learned that I’ve personally gone for MTS coilovers and polly bushes all round. The ride is firm but not crashy I’ve driven some miles and it’s definitely fast road rather than track.
Totally agree the v6 needs firmer suspension, I like the choice of H&R package with new bushings spacers etc. what I would like to know is how the tyres compare between the wheel sets. As always a very informative video. 👊
Thanks buddy, it’s funny you should say that, I was out there doing just that yesterday 😂. Going to the ring in the morning so nothing like a 1500 mile road trip to test out the coating 😂😂
Haha thanks for the support, the wheels will end up going back to my splits as I like the oem and have always wanted them for sure. Black wheels require too much cleaning for me 😂
If You like it bud, thats great, I am happy for you for that reason, I would go all black without silver centre caps if it was my own? But matte Bronze for me all the way, Especially as Mine is the Rare Lilac colour (needs a blow over now too lol) More £££££
Yeah I can imagine it’s pretty difficult at times, but you’re smashing it dude. I look forward to watching your stuff as much as I do Mighty Car Mods. Both of you make you want to either go tinker with your car or just enjoy driving your car and that’s what matters 👍🏻
Excellent video as usual Dom! I'm also running a red 3.2 v6 dsg which I suspect is on original suspension still. Having issues with the flashing PRNDS light at the moment...😫 sent the mechatronic off for testing, came back with no faults apparently.... stumped what to do next... 😎🤟🏻
Now you've gone too far. Until now you were only convincing me to spend all my money on TT upgrades. Now I want a V6 to park next to my 8N. This has to stop 😉. Seriously though, looks great with the black wheels, thanks for the vid
I have a mk2 3.2 and will be fitting super pro bushes up front next week finally and have mk3 forged wheels on along with the b12 kit so can relate with what you are saying. Also your bronzed wheels look better in the flesh at The Motorist.
Thanks Dave, yeah the bronze wheels will be going back on eventually, they are just my favourite wheel for as long as I can remember 😂. Sounds like your on the same journey as me then, let me know what you think when it’s all done
Perfect timing!! I’m going to order suspension any day now for my 3.2 Edit: Great vid, looks awesome! I was leaning towards the eibach but now I may go with H&R instead, you made my decision even harder 😐
Looks great stance wise but I've never liked black wheels, still don't. From a distance they usually look like plain old fashioned steel wheels to me 🤣... But that's just my personal view and if you love em Dom that's what matters 🤘
Yes adjustable arms will fit all models, they just need to be set up correctly is all. If you fit them in place of the upper control arms you will be able to push the wheels out at the top
Looks great , I'm searching for the suspension right now . Would you know if this is the part number for the 3.2 ? H/R40438-2 .I got it from demon tweeks , luckily they ship to Australia . Keep up the good work informing the all the tt owners out there 👏
So they dont list the shocks for the 3.2, they only list the shocks for the 1.8t but i have used them on mine, the springs are suitable for both 1.8t / 3.2 vr6's, they are the same fitment and weight is the same all bar a few kg's
@@TheParrottBros perfect my man ,that's what I want know , probably a change in spring rate ? I have h&r springs on there now ,it's turned the shocks to shit after 2 weeks of fitting them , was really nice the first week 😆
Hi you have been so helpful with your videos I'm new to the TT world. Once I get this Mark 1 sorted a bit more, of course with the help of your videos, I'm going to fabricate a hard top in aluminium to make the roaster look like coupe, do you think they could be a market for a good-looking hard top. Thank you again for your so how to fix things on these great little cars
Thanks joe, welcome aboard! That would be pretty cool. There is already a hard top available, they are quite sort after and not cheap now so you may well be in the right market for something a little different. As the roadster hardtop still isn’t quite the shape for the coupe
Just had some sad news today, I wanted sort out the haldex problem the car has, and be told there are no service kits or anything 4 this old system gen 1. Any advice would be appreciated.
No as the mounting point on the shock was the same distance from the hub as the original shock, it’s usually only on coilovers where the mounting tab is lower due to the threads for adjustment
Would you recommend a 225 TT for a 60 mile commute few times a week? I know I should get a diesel golf or something but life is short lol. How would mpg be on motorway and overall reliability. Cheers!
You might get 32mpg average, if the ac works then I'd say using it as a daily isn't out of the question, ours is used for the commute several times a week buts that's only a 34 mile round trip. Big issue at the mo is £2 a litre for super unleaded.
For the last 3 years I’ve done 120 miles a week in mine, average 30mpg , but most of my journey is in a 50 average speed zone. Older TTs take some money to sort out, suspension, brakes, silicon coolant hoses, cam belt, oil pick up pipe, but once done are reliable. Personally I am thinking of getting a VW Caddy for the commute and keep my TT for weekends and holidays. My TT just makes me smile😎
At 1st glance the rear sway bar on the 8n chassis is a joke, just putting a real one in would do wonders for the ability to rotate, especially in smaller corners.
Ok, tbh never been a fan of black wheels, but on your TT they do suit it, but now IMHO the headlights now look out of place, the black ones that my TT has would just finish off the “red black” look…. ;-)
Not a big fan of the black wheel trend, it distracts from the look of the car and draws too much attention. A beautiful car shouldn't sitting on big black dots
Thanks, I’m not a huge fan of black wheels but they came black and against the red it suits. I know what you mean they can’t be seen well, they turn brown the first time you press the brake pedal 😂
