Mechanic text me this picture earlier, it’s one of the vac pipes leading to the recirc valve, mostly explains my boost issue I hope. It’s also been lowered now.

In total I’m around 2 days labour in to the work, anticipated cost is going to be around £1k which is more than I expected.
Genuine question, have you ever not lowered a car you own ?

I liked the Touraeg so the Cayenne should be even better.

I have never owned a car that’s stayed at standard ride height. They’ve all been lowered by a previous owner or by myself.

The merc has avoided it so far but that’s the mrs’ and there’s a set of eibach springs waiting to go on at some point.

Actually, the Brm was standard, but as I only ever drove it about 200 miles it doesn’t really count :lol:

In line with what you were expecting? What does it weigh again?

I didn’t lower my e36 amg, they just look spot on on the 18” monoblocks. Haven’t lowered her Q7. Everything else yes :D

Quick snap when I picked it, was more keen on how it drove than looked when I picked it up to take a good picture plus it’s filthy dirty at the moment.

That just looks like it's broken :?

Definitely needs bigger wheels. Touareg looked a lot better.

A dehumidifier bag has leaked on to the back seat of the A2 and fecked the leather :x V v much not happy, and then I had to deal with the usual fucktardery out on the roads - and a couple of specials; the first was a kid on a pushbike, he was riding normally along the side of the lane, no traffic coming so I pull wide to overtake him. He then decides to pop a wheelie - a wheelie he can't hold - and falls to his right across the road in front/at me. Good job one of us was paying attention :roll: :x

Cayenne needs bigger wheels, like I said ! Or spacers maybe ? Something definitely.
