Also if your cars a daily then too low can make it hardwork driving over humps, my car isnt that low but still gives me abit of grief now and then e.g when im using the multi story car park theres always one part that scrapes my exhaust and even 10mph can be too fast over small speed bumps, takes the fun out of driving abit when you panic everytime you see a pot hole.

Pfffffft. 60mm isn't that low, I still had a bit of arch gap, had no scrubbing, handled like a dreammm. And you could still get over speedbumps, just had a small amount of exhaust scraping Didn't replace any suspension parts and my shocks were alright for the first two or three months,

Bens going 40mm anyway I guess.

_________________

i had a 60mm bilstein kit on my Si, it handled fairly well but by god it was rock solid! speed bumps were a no no!

why i didnt want to go to low in the mk2!

i have no idea what mine is lowered but it does look good now i have bigger wheels on, i do get scraping coming off my drive but speed bumps are no issue!!

silly question but is the MAF sensor the little housed off bit next to the air filter? and if it is, how do i get into it?

_________________

fifi

No idea and I didn't say GET I said GOT Was more of a joke.

_________________

undo the two connectors from the air filter box ( if youve still got the air filter box) and un screw the jubilee clip to the plastic induction cover and remove her from the car. refitting is reversal of removal.

sorry chris i'm a bit slow sometimes! but no not yet anyway

thanks seanny do i just clean it with a cloth?

_________________

fifi

i would clean it with some carb or injector cleaner because the prongs onery small and fine and could snap. just spray it on and let it dry.

_________________

halfrauds the best option for that stuff mate? im slowly building up my toolbox and goodies atm

_________________

fifi

yeah halfords can be or just use some wd40 which works just as well. halfords professional tools are pretty good. never had a problem with them.

_________________

wd40 it is yeah got the screwdriver set mate! i'll just put some pictures up just to double check... or is it next to the little airflow box? so its the rubber tube with the jubilee clips im doing?

the maf sensor is the one with the plug on it. the two screws are security bits t20 i think from memory.

_________________
