Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Getting custom centre caps made?

Hiya mate.
Try Smiths or TSW wheels... I've got Smiths with a silvered concave centre dish with logo'd hexagonal centre cap that just screws on.... You can also get a special plastic spanner thingy to remove em to get to the studs...
Should be just the thing...
Good luck.

Two q's though.... 1) could I use a 15 mm spacer with no probs rather than a 10 as I cant seem to find a 10 anywhere? 2) Any other issues attached... I know an offset too far off the standard at t...

spacers and offsets....

Hey all. I have 15x7 rears with 35 offset so they fit further out by 10mm I believe (is this correct, standard is 45 on a '90 uk t-bar?). My question is can I use a 10mm spacer either side to bring them closer to the front look (same wheel so 24mm further out than standard...looks just right in the ...

[Mk2 Generic]

Hey all. Anyone know the best place to buy a turbo engine cover, rev 3 spoiler and bootlid? Anyone got em left over after mods? Polar white ideal but can spray.
Any suggestions other than breakers?
Thx R.

Re: Engine lid catch problems...grrr

Mine does the same thing Mark.
I just keep a screwdriver with the toolkit. Before you shut the bonnet push the screwdriver down inside on the left hand side of the mechanism till it clicks then drop the bonnet. Bit o wd40 wudn't hurt either. Sorted
Hope this helps.

[Mk2 NA] Blue Flame exhausts

Hey all how goes it. Looking for a little help.... Considering a Blue Flame exhaust for my '90 n/a uk t-bar (mk2) and was wondering if anyone out there has fitted one and can give me some info?

Re: Spoiler removed - How to blank the holes?

Just seen this posting as I'm new to the site. Could you post your experience without the spoiler as i'm considering the same thing myself but hear that some say you lose back end stability under heavy breaking?
Be very interested to hear.....

Cheers

Re: leaking t-bar

Mate, the door can be adjusted by freeing off the large retainer inside the door sill and moving it (tap it with a wrench... it's that easy!). I think though that it only adjusts in/out, not sure about up/down. The door glass however can be adjusted up/down, backwards/forwards and in/out (at the top...

Re: leaking t-bar

Dude!
You could try the t-bar eccentric guide rods from Mr T. Cost about a tenner and replace the standard rods inside the t bar to pull it down closer to the window and seals. Worked on mine, along with adjusting the door fit and window glass position.
Good luck.
