My passenger side front seems to hang about 2-3cm lower than the drivers side.My car has been been lowered at some point and i found these shocks (see pic of rear unit) GAB "shock asborbers for hard suspension,made in Japan by Wings" what are they and what will happen if i turn the knob on them?I dont know if the front has got this knob on them.

Hi Guys. I hope someone can help me? I own a UK spec TT. I know it has DIP-Dim headlights. I am about to fit HIDs for dipped & high beam. But, i have been told i need to disable the dip-dim circuit! Can anyone tell me how i do this? I know where the dip dim box is. I was told by Luke Borg you need to disable it, but would not tell how? Can anyone tell me which wires? Or whether i can just unplug the box? A lot of people selling HID's, but no one can tell me correct install. :headvswal Regards Kev

I have an HKS boost gauge which goes from 0 to 1.5. When I floor my car the gauge goes to about .6 The in dash turbo gauge reads from -7 to +7 and when I floor the car it goes almost all the way to +7. Is there a problem. Should the HKS boost gauge go higher. My car has an apexi induction kit and a stainless steel exhaust with megaphone pipes. Thanks Konrad

For the past 3 weeks its been little things like a gasket here, an engine mount there, and then the oil cooler was clogged up. Well, now the oil coolers been replaced and there were taking it for a test run when the engine management light apparently came on and they say its only running on 3 cylinders.

I want to have some ideas of my own to throw at them becuase Im losing confidence in there abili…
