edd_t Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I had my Supe in for a service and MOT with Dave (SupraLoopy) yesterday and am really please with all the work, cheers Dave But whilst Dave was having a good look around he noticed a few things! On the front I have green kyb dampers and J-Spec brakes (nothing strange there) but on the back I have yellow billies and UK spec brakes! And, it also looks like I dont have LSD, which I though all the TT manual 6 speeds have!!! We've come to the conclusion that the entire rear assembly must have been dropped out at some point and replaced with that lot So now I'm on the look out for UK front brakes, yellow billies for the front, and possibly LSD in the future. So weird I thought I'd post about it, I cant understand why anyone would do that! The rest of the car is sound! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marbleapple Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I now have uk front brakes and Lsd. LOL I didn't know you did MOT's.... I could have driven my car down to yours and had you do the MOT and worked on the paint at the same time. Next year I think now. Carpet is looking good... did the 1st coat this weekend.

dude Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Does it have a small diff??? If so then some one has robbed it or it didn't start out as a man car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd_t Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 I need to check my VIN i think, find out exactly what i should have. i would have thought it more likly that they swap the diff rather than the gearbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
