This is a local shop for local people !!!!!!!

Hey we finally pulled our finger out and sorted a trade counter out at last, You can come in and look at some stock and kick back a little with us and save yourself on postage !
Cash cards and out of towners welcome, But no down or outs !!!!

It's not Halfords but how many places can you go where the cabinets and walls are only stocked with T4 and T5 stuff and the staff* know what they are talking about !

















*just be the one member of staff knows what there on about and he might not be there so you will have to do with someone else ! ;)

Let there be Light !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have just had a range of new uprated bulbs in to go with our Uprated wiring looms.
Some of the bulbs have these crazy Rocket booster packs on them to make your van fly to the moon !!!!!!!
Ok maybe a exaggeration but they have a ceramic block that conducts heat a lot better making the bulb cooler and more efficient and are fresh out for 2010 !!!
Check the stuff in our web shop.

Also you can see the Uprated wiring loom, These are AWESOME, They connect directly to the battery and hey presto you have 12 volts at your headlight plugs just like most cars on the road rather than 10.5 volts that VW saw fit to use on T4's and Mk1 and 2 golfs.
Easy to fit and will light up the road especially with our Brighter bulbs. :)

VW T5 V-maxx coilovers report after 2500 miles.

We fitted the V-MAXX coilovers as soon as everybody else had them sat in their front rooms, but thought we would give them a bit of time out on the road.
Anyway they are a doddle to fit clocking us just over 3 hours to fit including replacing wishbone bushes, drop links and bottom ball joints and rod ends so as long as everything goes to plan and you or your garage have had a few T5's apart it should take 2 hours if theres someone to give you a hand with the heavy bits.

They have lowered the van -75mm on the rear and approx 55mm on the front, ours is a 1.9 version and a good friend of ours has assured his has dropped down approx 70mm proberbly due to the extra 80 kg weight difference with the 2.5 tdi.

Out on the road the van is much more composed than before when we had just -60mm springs with stock dampers, the ride is much more forgiving than on springs and i now like driving the T5 again, i haven't bothered trying out the 20 odd different settings on the dampers i will leave that to some keyboard jockey on a forum but at the end of the day i dont think a change in rebound dampening is going to turn a van in to a Caterham.

To summerise- A good set up for the money,Your not going to win any lowrider competions with them but it will bring the van closer to the floor than standard and it will handle better after fitting them.
Sure ours sat 12mm lower on the front on our old springs but i will let that one go as i can now drive srtaight over speed bumps instead of zig zagging them .

If you want to go lower then buy some H&R coilovers off us for £1500 and then you can brag to your forum buddies how low your van is and how much better off you are than others !!!

Lost Pictures of Essen Motor show !!

Sorry we ain't done the blog for a while but we have been busy building a shop and setting up relations with some new People.
Any how i lost the camera i took to Essen and found it in the glove box of my Homeboys 54 Ford, Anyway here they are.

P.S That tractor engine has 8 gt turbos and puts out about 5000hp on funny fuel !!!!!






















































All in all it was a pretty good show, Not much van stuff there but we hooked up with some people we already new and met a couple more so that was all good.
It was easy to get to and thank F**K for starbucks and Subway cos it aint easy being a veggie in sausage central that i can tell thee !!!!
